Why doesn't anyone think the Cavs should pick Andre Drummond at center? And why do they need another guard in this draft? They're not going to be competing next season no matter who they draft and guards are way easier to find than centers, especially with Drummond's upside. Varejao isn't the long term solution for them.



They weren't that far off from the 8th seed for awhile... then realized they wouldn't get it.

The East division is weak as heck. They can compete in 2 years for an 8th seed spot.


Yes and I agree they'll be competing 2 years from now, but 2 years from now isn't next season.

Also as a Cavs fan, what's your opinion on Manny Harris? I heard he has some potential.

For some reason (i don't know why) I have a feeling that Sullinger will fall to the 15th or so pick........maybe the Rockets will have a chance.....they say that cause of how he performed at the NBA Comebine. He had too much body fat I think-and a sore back maybe. So he may be the faller. Rokcets shuld either get him or Zeller cause they need a Big Man badly-----they never had a good Center these days since Yao and McGrady were gone. Still don't know why McGrady left Houston.......but anyways...........my draft pics (1-5

Hornets-Anthony Davis
Bobcats-Thomas Robinson
Wizards-Bradley Beal
Cavs-MKG
Kings-Drummond


I'll give the others later, 1 thing for sure, I'm exactly 100% sure that Lillard will be a Raptor. and Barnes will be a GS Warrior.

I was not impressed... I think he got overhyped a la Steve Novak.

Cavs, we got Irving money, dude's HOF material
Tristan Thompson will be an all-star some day, and Gee and varejo are worth holding onto... Jamison needs to go, Gibson needs to go.

The rest... are embarrassing, like... Charlotte Bobcats embarrassing.

They need 2 guys that can come in from their 1st round picks and drop double digits on a nightly basis, as well as play some defense.

You're "100% sure" that Lillard will be a Raptor and Barnes will be a GS Warrior? I'm not "100% sure" Anthony Davis will be a Hornet. Maybe the Hornets trade their #1 overall pick? (Not likely but who knows?) Maybe Anthony Davis has a career threatening injury just days before the draft. You can never be "100% sure" of basically anything when it comes to the NBA.

He had back spasms and injuries ever since '05, I believe, and ever since '07, he hasn't been the T-Mac of old. Then we decided to trade him to the Knicks, who later on traded him to the Hawks.

All of you have the Bobcats taking Robinson, however they just recently worked out Beal and loved him. Every NBA team is actually in love with Beal and many are trying to trade up to # 2 to get him. So honestly, I would not be surprised to see Beal go #2 with Robinson going to him hometown team, the Wizards.

think they need Robinson more than Beal, I have beal going to Stupid Wizards Logo. I've heard Rumors that the Rockets are about to try to trade up for a top 10 caliber pick. I also heard that they may try to get Gasol, killing their chances of any draft prospect......IDK what going on, any other Houstonian know?

Would you be happy with an Indiana/Cleveland trade of Dahntay Jones (good SG, not too old and could be a vet to mentor all the Cavs youth. Has to pick up a 3mil player option for the Pacers first though.) for one of Cleveland's 2nd round picks?

Cavs coming away with something like: Andre Drummond, Royce White, Festus Ezeli, and Dahntay Jones

Irving/Jones/White/Drummond/Varejao

Backups of Gibson/Harris/Gee/Thompson/Ezeli

I wouldn't be mad at that at all. Maybe next season to develop a little and then find the SG of the future in next year's draft then the Cavs would probably be a pretty solid playoff team. You could only imagine how good Irving would be by then too.

Gasol rumors again? IDK what people are thinking, he would just be wasting his time playing here.

The Rockets are actually talking to teams about trading out of the draft and are looking for a good player in return. Kyle Lowry has also requested a trade and they will most likely be looking for either a PG or a C in a trade.
