Report: #5, Favors, Burks for Cavs' #1 pick

[spycam1]

Cavs don't need more mediocre picks. They need someone who can help them now. Burks can come off the bench and give them 14pts tomorrow if they needed him to.



Besides, I'd rather pick someone fresh with our #23 anyway... I don't like the thought of 'paying' for Burks.

I feel ya. But I honestly don't know how much we're going to have to pay Burks.

Trading Burks pretty much guarantees we'll match whatever Hayward gets.

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

I'd rather keep Burks at 7M per than Hayward at 11M per.

I'm fine with that. With Wiggins - Burks suddenly become redundant.



I like Hayward-Wiggins much better than Burks-Wiggins pairing.

 

[The Midnight]

I'd rather keep Burks at 7M per than Hayward at 11M per.

This is true also.


But remember how Wes was paid like $5m per and we let him walk? He's much better/complete than Burks even at that stage.

So sick of these 'reports' and 'sources'. I will sig bet anybody that we move up no higher than #5.

Agreed 100% and sounds like the max deal Hayward could get would expire the same time we'd need to extend Wiggins. I'd be all for rolling like this:

Burke
Hayward
Wiggins
Tomic
Kanter/Gobert

 

[Litany]

And to think we could have just intentionally lost a couple more games...

I've thought about this but I just don't think there is any way in hell we would have been worse than Milwaukee or Philly. They were dumpster fires. Only way we could have is if we had just had fake injuries for all of our starters. Not happening.

It would have been harder to be in sixers spot right now after Embiid news.

Cavs got lucky and it sucks ***. They're using that leverage now as we would have In a traded down.

Yup.

And trading Favors pretty much guarantees we're gonna do everything in our power to bring Tomic over.

We could be looking at a lineup of:

Burke/Neto
Wiggins
Hayward
Kanter
Tomic/Gobert

And whoever we take at #23.

Wow...Favors AND Burks. Our two best and most promising players. This is tough. I know we need to swing for the fences, but I'd rather we throw in a 2015 first rounder instead of Burks.

 

[The Midnight]

Yup.

And trading Favors pretty much guarantees we're gonna do everything in our power to bring Tomic over.

We could be looking at a lineup of:

Burke/Neto
Wiggins
Hayward
Kanter
Tomic/Gobert

And whoever we take at #23.

I think Gobert is a much better choice as our future Center...

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

Yup.

And trading Favors pretty much guarantees we're gonna do everything in our power to bring Tomic over.

We could be looking at a lineup of:

Burke/Neto
Wiggins
Hayward
Kanter
Tomic/Gobert

And whoever we take at #23.

We'll be a bottom five team in the league. Easily.
