The 2014 Cavs Off-Season Thread (not coaching-related)

only way I'm going to trade Dion is if I am guaranteed to land Embiid with that pick after we draft Wiggins or Parker.

Right now, if I were a gambling man, I would say there is a less than 50% chance we make the first pick.

This happens every year. History says there is a 95% chance we make the first pick.

Well by all accounts Byron Scott is the leading candidate to coach the Lakers.

And he supposedly was a big reason we drafted Dion.

Wouldn't shock me if there was a connection there.

Doubt LA gives that up without seeing if Embiid can be had.

The trade wouldn't happen until draft night anyway because the Cavs wouldn't trade for a pick without knowing who they are drafting with it.

If this Waiters thing is true then I am spinning. Trading to get younger and netting a another pick doesn't make sense to me.

Either does trading for Favors in yet another PF.

Just speculation till something drops and while I am excited I am also really nervous about trading away this no 1 pick. I am fine moving back to top 3 but outside of that makes me nervous and have we even had any more players in for workouts than parker, wiggins or Embiid?

 

[gratefuldead]

how many times do we have to hear

The Cavs don't want more young players!!!!!!

if we're moving dion for lotto picks or trading down for assets

this is about making a move for a superstar!!!

cavs will only draft at 1

mark my words, any trade back is for a deal

The Cavs weren’t torn on whether to select Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker with the No. 1 pick in the draft, reports Terry Pluto of The Plain Dealer. The actual conflict in Cleveland was whether or not to trade away the pick, writes Pluto.

Yup Griffin said even better offers. What was reported was the 3rd the 10th a player and I think a top 5 protected first in 2015. However a possible star two way player was to good to pass up. Even better possible superstar and face of the NBA as some claim... I can only hope.

While I realize there are sources that have no knowledge, it seems kind of pathetic for a person that actually calls himself a journalist to have to add the "w/knowledge" part to the comment.
