The fact that the Cavs apparently don't know for sure who they're taking #1 if they keep the pick is hilarious. They've had all year to rank these guys.

It's because they botched it last year and now Gilbert is disagreeing with management due to the Bennett mess.

Isn't the disconnect between Gilbert and management how they got into the Bennett mess?

I think Gilbert trusted them last year, then he thinks they fucked up and saw how out of shape Bennett was and how poorly he played.

Now management supposedly wants Parker, and he came in 14lbs overweight and tanked his workout for them. He wants Wiggins, they want Parker. I think they were set on Embiid, but now split on those two.

It's a shitty run team that has amazing luck with winning the lottery.

What's this Boston rumor? Are they going to end up with Jabari and KLove?

How are they going to pull that off? They don't have the assets to make both those moves happen.

they have a ton of picks in the next three drafts, Rondo, and Bradley

In any trade we make, the other team has to take Dom Brown.

Those picks are all meh though. Prok will never let the Nets be a lotto team. Bradley is a free agent.

I think it's plenty enough to move from 7 to 1 if they want

but rondo is going to sacramento in that deal. cavs are moving down to 7 for some picks in the teens the next few years?

idk if this is what you're talking about but i saw something with rece davis, jay bilas, rose and simmons on mute at the gym with shitty closed captions. at one point simmons made what appeared to be an awkward comment about one of the prospect's junk and then rece told him "don't get fired, bill." then they did a touchscreen mock top 10 segment with jalen and simmons and simmons kept hitting the wrong buttons and i believe (using phonetic CC evidence) that davis called him "the michael olowokondi of the touchscreen"

I doubt the Celtics will trade up to 1, but I think they have enough if they really want to throw the kitchen sink at it

Houshphandzadeh wrote:I think it's plenty enough to move from 7 to 1 if they want

I think if they threw in 2 or 3 picks, sure, it'd be enough, but that's the point, after that, they wouldn't have the assets to move for Love, since if they're trading for Love, they probably aren't trading Rondo.

yeah i guess that's true. 1 for 7/8 then. still not sure that makes much sense for the cavs. or the celtics really.

I thought Gilbert was the one who insisted on Bennett. Whatever. They're such a mess, it's pretty entertaining from the outside.

He's not going to have a choice soon. They're old, capped out, and have no assets.

sure. I wasn't talking about Love or anything, just thought it was odd to say the Celts don't have any assets
