This is really hard for me to say because it would be a great feel good story after all the bullshit that has happened this season, to make the playoffs, but it is within the best interest of the Cavs to get a really high pick in the draft and have our pick between Barnes, Jones, Irving, Kanter or someother really talented player. Jamison will most likely be traded for whatever we can get for him and after you trade him we literally have the same team we have been watching in preseason. Mo isn't going to be that much of a difference maker that we will still make the playoffs so we will most likely be in the lottery and the thing with that is if we are going to be in the lottery we might as well make it better for us in the long run and try to get a really high pick so we get talent and not just some guy who is a fringe starter. The way I see it is we have Sessions as our PG, Boobie could be our off the bench hot scorer, JJ(with some more seasoning) will be our PF and fringe all star. Depending on the types of offers we get for Andy he may get dealt but he will only get dealt for a young piece that can be in our future plans. Mo isn't in our future plans and if he is, he shouldn't. I got much love for the guy but he could net us a nice draft pick or young player and he is more valuable to a playoff team than a lottery team.
You also have to look at it like this, our front office was renovated. Chris Grant is known as a good drafter. Also with some of the other guys we got for the front office, they have a history of having successful drafts. That sort of seems like a sign that we may be looking to build through the draft. IDK, I've been thinking that since reading about Wes Wilcox and David Griffen being good drafters.
I think we need to have a 2 year system. For the next 2 years we need to build our own big three from the draft. This season we need to try as hard as we can to get a top 2-3 pick so we can get Barnes or Perry Jones. The next draft I believe a promising big is going to be available Andre Drummond and another promising player in Quincy Miller should be available. We have this great opportunity that we can't let slip away. Even if we tried our hardest, we most likely will not make the playoffs so we need to build this team the right way from the draft and do it the OKC way.
