    They could have had
    2011: #1 Kyrie Irving #4 Jonas Valanciunas(Can't say Klay Thompson, Kawhi, or Faried bc no one expected them to be that good)

    2012: #4 Andre Drummond #17 Jared Sullinger

    2013: #1 Victor Oladipo #19 Tony Snell or Tim Hardaway JR.

    2014: #1 Parker or Wiggins +(have pieces to possibly trade back into top10)

    C: Andre Drummond/Sideshow Bob
    PF: Jonas/Sullinger
    SF:parker or Wiggins/sign locker room vet
    SG:Oladipo/Hardaway JR
    PG: Kyrie Irving/ JJack

    You have a team that doesn't rely on some fantasy wish of LeBron returning home. Instead you have a possible defensive juggernaut in a few years.

    Hindsight is 20/20, but most experts were shocked by the picks they made in post LeBron era of course other than Kyrie. They were reaching with a lot of these guys. I always say ***** franchises stay ***** because the one constant is the OWNER. Like Morey said, players are more and more choosing Team Owner over anything else.

    Right? Seriously. They could have had Klay Thompson (2011) and Drummond (2012) to pair with Irving. Or Valaciunas and some other swingman they could have traded for. Man. And then they get back to back number 1 picks? They should be penalized for repeatedly ****ing up.

    How is KD a SF if he's 6'11" and has a 7'6" wingspan?

    If I'm the Cavs I take Orlando's offer of #4, #12 and Afflalo.

    Take Embiid at 4

    and then try to finagle things with some sort of combo of Dion Waiters, Afflalo, Tristian Thompson & #12

    I'd like to see Parker be able to keep any NBA 2-guard in front of him, let alone a SF.

    Kyrie is already a defensive liability and was so even under a defensive-minded Mike Brown.

    Now take into consideration the Cavs other guard spot is occupied by another offensive-minded player (Waiters).

    You have to put emotions aside and take Embiid and hope sports science can make him durable. Dude can be better than Anthony Davis if he can stay healthy.

    Does Wiggins weigh "260" more like 275? Also, I would say LeBron can play any position he wants. He's capable of playing 1-4 and sometimes at the 5 against certain teams. So to answer your question, yes.
