That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Kings get a horrible pull, Cavs draft first overall. Sky blue, water wet.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are going to screw up yet another #1 pick. What are the mathematical odds of them getting 3 #1s in 5 years?

I now can't blame him for bailing, I still think the way he did it was tacky though.

He needed to leave to become the player he is now, but still you just don't do that.

Im thinking
Cavs - Embiid or Saric bc Cleveland
Bucks - Wiggins
76ers - Parker
Magic - Randle
Jazz - Gordon
Celtics - Exum
Lakers - Smart
Kings - Vonleh
Hornets - McDermott
76ers - Saric
Nuggets - Lavine
Magic - Nurkic
Twolves - Stauskas
Suns - trade

gently caress CLEVELAND

Chad Ford's instant mock:
1.) Cavs- Embiid
2.) Bucks- Wiggins
3.) Sixers- Parker
4.) Magic- Exum
5.) Jazz- Smart

Celtics would be pumped to get Randle. He could go to Orlando, but I don't think that's a good fit with so much PG talent available and Vuc/solid young talent at the 4 already. Jazz always have a loaded frontcourt as well and really need a wing...they got a really bad draft spot and should trade down to get Gordon or something.

Not really his fault. Jim Gray is quite the fucker, and I'd like to never see that guy work in broadcasting again.

Oh no at worst we will get Joel Embiid although like I said he'll probably go top two and we'll still get one of the wing players we wanted

Both scoring/defense on the wing and frontcourt production to put with Thompson. Anthony Bennett was supposed to be that wing help, but welp. I assume that they don't see Varajeo in their long-term plans so Embiid would fit.

They're pretty atrocious defensively so I don't think Parker's an awfully good fit. He'd play the 3/4 and would force Thompson to the 5 long-term, which isn't a very good option.

But as the poster below me said, more than anything they need some competency with decision making.

Varejao is unguaranteed next year on a good size salary and can never stay healthy at all and their only other half decent big man is Tristan Thompson
