My crazy bold draft day prediction

1. Cleveland- Embiid
The Cavs could take Wiggins here they could also trade the pick for Love(they should but it's cleveland). If they do either everything below this falls apart as well.**** it's a little nuts anyway but fun to speculate:)

2. Bucks- Wiggins
Many think they will take Parker but I think Wiggins will be too hard for them to pass up.

3. Sixers- Exum
The Backcourt tandem of MCW and Exum is definitely an exciting thought.

4 Magic- Trade this pick to Utah for #5 and Ice Trey
Jazz select Parker.

5 Magic(via Utah)Magic trade this pick the 12th and 2016 1st and 2nd for Kevin Love.
T-wolves select Vonleh

6 Celtics- Gordon

7 Fakers- Smart

8 Kings- Randle

9 Hornets- Mcbuckets

10 Sixers- Saric

11 Nuggets- Lavine

12 T-wolves-(via orlando) Stauskas

13 Twolves- Trade this pick for a future first round most likely suitors Knicks, Raptors
I'd guess Harris is taken here

14 Suns- Hood
 
I like the scenario. I am just not sure why the Magic would give up so much for what is sure to be a rental in Kevin Love. It seems much more likely they hold onto their pick and take Jabari(if he even slips to them) knowing that they at least have him for a long time. Love would be as good as gone when his free agency rolled around.

Yeah I thought about that but I also thought the nets were renting D-will. If they think they can get a decent free agent or two they are guaranteed EC playoffs with love. That's what he wants isn't it. A different town and to make the playoffs.

From what he has said, he definitely wants to win. Can the Magic assemble a team around him that quickly that will get them into the playoffs? Even with Ice Trey, I am not sure they can.

Which will be the wolves FOs line of thinking. It's a gamble wolves bet they can't Magic bet they can.
 
It's so hard to see Exum going before Parker. I don't know how any team could justify that.

I'm crossing my fingers that we can get Parker and I think DL will try his *** off, as he should, but it's an uphill battle. Especially with Parker coming to workouts in better shape. I sure wish he would have waited to get in shape until after the draft. That just hurt our chances pretty good.

I really don't see Parker going past 3. The only way we get him is we make a crazy big offer and move into the top3 imo. I can't see a 4th team (the Magic) passing on him. There can't be 2 idiotic GM's right in a row.

I hope you are right though.

That's why lottery drawing night was so disheartening added in with this season's tank and Cleveland again winning with a 1.7% chance. I just hope that if we can't move up, we end up being happy down the road with the pick we did make.

I doubt I'm right.

Can totally see sixers taking Exum though. That would be one hell of a quick team.

It's not that Exum is a bad prospect, and I guess there is a chance he ends up better than Parker, but I just don't think that in the basketball world right now that GM'S would dare take him over any of the big 3 (Embiid, Parker, and Wiggins)

And that's what makes this so disheartening. We do have enough assets to move up, it's just gonna be hard because GM'S are gonna be afraid to mess this up. I can see all of the top3 turning down anything we have to offer just out of fear. Too much hype is surrounding this draft class.

I hope we move up, but I'm thinking nobody makes a trade or moves up. It's most likely going to be the top3 teams picking the top 3 guys and standing pat with them. Kevin Love could shake things up though. I just don't see it happening.
 
no GM is going to roll the dice on exum top 3....The risk is just way too big.

It'll go the same way 2003 went....everybody knew the top 3 but the order was not set in stone.

1. Embiid
2. Wiggins
3. Parker

After that nobody knows what's going to happen. Its going to depend on a lot of workouts, but I see Smart like dwade any where from where 5 to 9.
 
My bold crazy prediction is that the Jazz find a way to swap picks with Philly.

Jazz get whoever is left between Wiggins/Parker. Philly picks up Gordon at 5.

If Wiggins / Parker go 1/2, then Jazz stay pat and get Gordon at 5, with Embiid off to Philly.

I can see a swap with Philly before anything else. I don't see Philly taking exum. this draft actually has some good pfs. if they see Noel as a center the a stretch 4 that plays defense also is a sweet fit. they can nab wings aplenty later in the draft. vonleh is such a perfect fit in Philly it makes me sick.

I could see Philly asking for the better of the 2 picks in 2017 to switch. Hollis Thompson was a decent bright spot. Thaddeus young might be gone in free agency.
