I’m asking you who did you want us to draft at 8 What is your point ?

I've already said that I think the pick should have been traded at the deadline. We weren't going to draft a game changer at #8, and it was clear all year that the Nets weren't going to be a bottom 3 team.

Isn't it funny that most of the same people critical (over the top) of LeBron around that time were the loudest about keeping the pick?

Yeah, I would agree with this too. I don't absolutely hate the Sexton pick, but we could have done more by trading this pick to give us a more realistic shot this year and maybe kept Lebron.
 
Dude was just called a Bosnian scoring machine....

I about lost it...

Yeah, this one really hurts. There was no reason we should have included that pick.

That plus giving Wade away for nothing. WTF

The best way to keep LeBron was by competing/winning with LeBron.

That series goes 6 or 7 games and I think no question he returns. Now we're counting on the Lakers to screw something up.

You would have picked Williams at 8? 20 other teams passed on him too. Do you have a point ?

No genius, I’m talking about how the Cavs always reach for someone instead of taking obvious players and fits. Waiters, Tristan both reaches. Don’t even get me started on Bennett which will go down as the worst draft pick of all time.

Sexton was projected late lottery and of course we reach for him, even though we needed more shooting not people who can’t shoot. MPJ is a potential superstar and shoots it better, defends more positions etc. His agent sent out medical records today indicating all should be well, certain teams just pussed out. We also pussed out.

Teams like the Celtics see what’s available and take the obvious pick, they’ve did it for years. And now they did it again with Williams.
 
Sometimes people ask why I cut back on writing about the Cavs this year and wrote more in the Browns section. One reason is that this section has to let the disappointing 2017 off-season go. It's painful to dwell on those two months.

I cut back on posting on the Cavs this season because I've been raised to be a positive influence, and be solution based. Too much of this past season didn't make me feel terribly positive or solution based. The draft and this off-season, despite the mystery of LeBron's free agency status, contains a lot to feel positive about. The Boston trade is history, the deadline deal is history. Now we just have the future of my favorite franchise.

What's not to like?

So if some people want to dwell on the trades not being an A haul, go ahead... but it makes the section brutal to participate in. I hate my own website for the lack of any optimism.

To be fair Danny Ainge actually goes against the grain quite a bit. He just really scouts well.

Rajon Rondo over Marcus Williams
Jaylen Brown over Dunn
Tatum over Fultz

He was one of the few who liked Durant over Oden.

So what you’re saying is he does his research and drafts correctly? Got it. That’s my point.
 
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually like that Knicks pick. Mitchell Robinson is a gamble but a potentially very high ceiling. Why not gamble if you’re the Knicks? At 36 it’s definitely worth it.
