NJ traded Favors, Kanter, Harris and the ability to trade for Burke for Deron.
Embiid will be a lot better than Deron.
Why do we overvalue our **** so much?
Favors and Hayward are all we have that have any sort of tangible value. We might luck out that we can't trade Hayward.
I'd do Favors, Kanter and Burks plus our #5 and even our #23 for #1.
Then build around Embiid and Hayward. Add Bledsoe or Lowry, Pau Gasol and Deng and damn. We are suddenly much better and Cleveland still sucks.

Dude, Williams was an actual All-Star. Embiid hasn't played in a single NBA game yet.
Since 2000, the #1 pick has been an All Star 74% of the time. The only busts were Brown, Barngani and Bennet. And Embiid's name doesnt start with a "B", so we're good.
Seriously, I don't think anyone would trade Deron in his prime for Wiggins or Embiid.
So, we'd have to give up a lot to get to #1, but it would be worth it.
