Dyin' for Zion
-
It is hilarious watching the talking heads on TV who are slobbering all over themselves thinking that Zion would be going to the Knicks or Lakers, or ever the Hawks......and not one mention being made of the fact that the Cavs are one of 3 teams that have the best chance to get the #1 pick for the rights to draft Zion.
I would love it to happen so that these shitheads would have to eat their turds.
Of course, the question may be: what underhanded shenanigans do you think the NBA could pull to insure that one of the "big market" teams gets that first pick.
-
And shenanigans occurred we got 5th. New Orleans with Zion and Anthony Davis now. Scary. Of course they could still trade AD
-
Pelicans #1, Memphis #2, Knicks #3, Lakers #4, Cavs #5.
When I saw that both the Knicks and the Lakers were going to be in the Top 4.....I really thought that the conspiracy could have been in.
I am just glad that the "small markets" New Orleans and Memphis got the Top 2 if the Cavs could not have gotten one of them. And at #5...they can still get a damned good player. Maybe that guy from Virginia. All he did was lead his team to a national Championship, which not even Zion could do.
And I believe that it could happen that Anthony Davis could now stay in N.O. I think he would be stupid not to want to......unless, like LeBron, he has non-basketball reasons to want to go to LA. (But AD is a butt ugly dude with no personality...just game. He would have no business wanting the "Hollywood" lifestyle.

Who would be the pick out of this Top Dozen.

Here is there current roster...or at least the one from this past season. (some are out...some will be out):
Here is the Cavaliers’ current roster, with position, age, height/weight and college in parentheses.
Deng Adel, SF, age 22, 6-7/200 (Louisville)
Jaron Blossomgame, SF, age 25, 6-8/220 (Clemson)
Marquese Chriss, PF, age 21, 6-10/240 (Washington)
Jordan Clarkson, PG, age 26, 6-5/194 (Missouri)
Matthew Dellavedova, PG, age 28, 6-4/200 (Saint Mary's)
Channing Frye, PF, age 35, 7-0/255 (Arizona) (I believe he has retired, no?)
John Henson, F, age 28, 6-11/219 (North Carolina)
Brandon Knight, PG, age 27, 6-3/195 (Kentucky)
Kevin Love, PF, age 30, 6-10/251 (UCLA)
Larry Nance Jr., PF, age 26, 6-9/230 (Wyoming)
David Nwaba, SG, age 26, 6-4/219 (Cal Poly)
Cedi Osman, SF, age 24, 6-8/215 (None)
Collin Sexton, PG, age 20, 6-2/190 (Alabama)
J.R. Smith, SG, age 33, 6-6/225 (None) did not play at all last year...unlikely to this year either
Nik Stauskas, SG, age 25, 6-6/205 (Michigan)
Tristan Thompson, C, age 28, 6-10/238 (Texas)
Ante Zizic, C, age 22, 6-11/254 (None)
To me...a Small Forward could be in order. Barrett likely gone, so Reddish or Hunter?
-
Cam Reddish! He can shoot and has good athleticism! Although a Center isn't out of the question.
-
So what about the Cavs draft?
-
Great draft! 3 first round picks, just like the Browns did it

Garland(who most of us probably never heard of due to injury last year) can shooooooot
Windler(a lefty shooter who was drawing Korver compariosons).
and Kevin Porter Jr. is being labeled a steal for the Cavs,a scorer who fell due to immaturity.
-
It would not surprise me if with Sexton and Garland that we essentially have 2 Kyrie Irvings on our hands. Which would be a tremendous test for any opponent.
