With the news of LeBron opting out of his contract I could see the Cavs pushing hard to get him to come back to Cleveland. Does this hurt our chances of trading to the number one pick?
 
Uh, I believe the whole reason Cleveland is willing to move the pick is because they hope Lebron will return and they will have no need for Wiggins.
 
If they think they have a shot at Lebaron it might actually help the Jazz. Lebron will want players around him to win now, not draft picks to win later. The Cavs will want to trade picks for proven players and role players around him. Risky though to make moves and a play at him if it's not a sure thing but if they want to go that direction I'm sure the Jazz would love to help them out.

*edit, dang I'm slow. ^^ these, those and this
 
He could've waited almost another week to announce this. So if nothing else, the timing is good.

If Lebron wants to play with those guys, then this is bad. I'm honestly not sure why he'd be so opposed to that route.
 
Favors now becomes a huge bargaining chip. There aren't too many young bigs as promising as he. While we need him to play near his potential to succeed lebron only needs him at maybe 50 percent.

If he's in Cleveland that's gotta be a huge plus.

Cleveland could have an amazing frontline of Favors and whatever they draft this year. Then add lebron and Irving. Cleveland is set up nicely to dominate the crappy east. I don't know if they're good enough to beat the WC opponent though.
