Any chance the Cavs move the first overall?

The fact is, when you generalize, cherry pick information and ignore other indicators, every theory looks like it makes sense.

There was a poll on real-gm asking people to predict who the league would rig the lottery for, almost every single person guessed the lakers, with a healthy dose of the celtics. The OP stated he wanted people to put their money where their mouth is so to say, because a story could be concocted explaining why the lottery was obviously rigged for any team after the fact.

Hey I'm just speculating. I didn't see that poll but I have been saying either Cleveland lakers or celtics would get that first pick and Cleveland did. I know this just looks like a really stupid conspiracy but c'mon, how can Cleveland 3 of the last 4 lotteries. It's just something to wonder about

In the poll, they only picked one team, you had three chances.

According to Stooley almost everyone picked the Lakers, with some Celtics, so barely anyone if anyone picked any other team, let alone Cleveland.

I highly doubt it unless it's for a proven star/all-star, Wiggins, Parker, and Embiid might be guaranteed superstars considering raw talent and skill; their potential is off the charts.

Even guys like Smart, Gordon, and Exum and Randle can be seen as All-Star calibre players in the future.

Honestly, I have my doubts about Parker. He's great in college, and topping out at "like Carmelo" is not bad by any means, but Carmelo isn't the alpha dog you need to win playoffs.

I'd take Vonleh, Exum or maybe even Gordon over him.

Which could mean NBA got to Stooley too. He's part of the conspiracy.

Yeup, a name I did not mean to leave out, dude is one versatile player. Stretches the floor but athletic, and can beast in the paint. I like him A LOT.

If I was the Cavs, I'd draft Wiggins, and trade Irving for the 2nd pick and draft Embiid, maybe with their assets try and draft Ennis too.

Wow, that could work out, but would they do it?

Reportedly not offering Kyrie a Max Extension.

Somebody will. Their best bet is to do a S&T for a Max maybe? I don't think they can get 1/2, maybe like a 1st and like 4th pick or something, who knows.

If Kyle asks for too much money, S&T him to Lakers for 6th/Nash, and then trade 6th/20th for Kyrie?

Don't get Irving, unless we're flipping him for #2 pick.

If Cavs can get 1 and 2, they can roll out

Insert PG here/Waiters/Wiggins/Thompson/Embiid

Also with a hopefully improved Bennett coming off the bench.

Maybe they can trade for a later pick and grab Ennis.
