Cleveland has a chance to start off their new era with a bang having the top 2 players in the draft and Minn adds depth to their frontcourt as Hickson can backup Love or play alongside him plus they have a ton of options for what direction to go with the 4th pick. They are probably best getting Kanter to add their center they need. Cleveland should really go big and starting with Irving and Williams is their best chance to do that.

I agree. Cleveland might rebound from the loss of Lebron faster than I thought they could, if Davis can stay healthy. Big if. I don't see them going on a losing streak like last season if they play their cards right.

Good story there but many season tix were sold before "The Decision", on the other hand Cleveland Cavs games on local cable is like top 5 in the country in market share. They like sports up there!

What had to happen was the team was allowed to tank than panic. I suppose they sold the "stick to Lebron" propoganda theme enough to do a rebuild. Williams for Barron and the pick was brilliant!

You create your own Luck! Luck=when opportunity and preperation collide!

This is why I need a second team to root for. One that rebuilds with yoots. Cleveland is not it though. Not a Byron Scott fan and its, well, its Cleveland! For Years Cleveland was the "Newark" of the great lakes!

I say this every year and it does not happen. New York "Rens"!

My bad Nalod, I meant the team, not the city, my fault. You are right they love their sports there and I give them lots of credit for filling the arena with fans even during the losing streak. That's loyalty.

Hating Lebron really bought the fans out. Kinda creepy in a way!

I think it was more about the team, like you said they like their sports up there. I don't believe they hate him enough to sit through that losing streak, at least I hope not. I know they were experiencing some major schadenfreude over Lebron losing in the finals however. So were fans in other cities after "The decision" and the "2,3,4,5,6,7.. championships" comment.

When Silver announces "a trade to announce....." the draft buzzes.

Does a trade get done or will a team like SAC draft Jimmer, the knicks pick for Sac, then a deal is announced?

Intrigue at the top two spots. LA seems to want the #2 pick but what if Cavs take Williams? Wolves are almost forced to take Irving as trade bait.

yeah, same day threads usually work a little better than ones created too far out. We'll see how it goes!

Good point.

Cavs have a 14mil exemption they can trade!

Kahn can reshape his franchise very quickly.

If Rubio produces and AR lives up to some potential thats two organic assets infused without it costing a thing.

Plus the no. 2 pick in a two pick draft. After that its shuffle time!

Any takers for the 17 and TD for Jimmer? As Jimmer falls do we work the phones selling the pick and TD to a team that can get what they want/need at 17 and get a free TD for their trouble?
