The move could certainly affect the Jazz in the upcoming draft. If Cleveland takes Williams first I would assume the Pups would pass on Irving leaving him for us?

I see no chance that Cleveland passes on Irving ... regardless the chatter.

This.

Agreed. The word is that Irving will be the number 1 pick.

I think it could be a mistake for Cleveland not going with wlilliams and knight vs Irving and who over is left at 4.

Williams
Kanter
Irving
Knight

Vs

Irving
Kanter
Williams
?

Well at least that is what I would do

 

[Fishsticks]

Honestly, this make me happy for the wolves. I thought it would be ****** of him to not come over after wasting number 5.

True, but they could try to trade with Minny and net themselves Irving and Williams.

Agreed. Williams/Knight I think would be better than Irving and Vesely/Leonard/etc. Of course the best situation for Cleveland would be taking Irving #1 and us passing on Kanter.

I don't see that happening. Minny needs to get older not younger

 

[NUMBERICA]

I think the Cavs select Irving. HOWEVER, you would have to think that in order to secure Rubio, they guaranteed him that they will not be selecting a PG of any variety with #2 this year. So here's to hoping that the Cavs pass, and they keep their (speculated) word.

That was a rumor at one point. In the opinion of most experts Irving >>>> Knight. Cleveland would be foolish to pass on the consensus "surest" thing in this draft and hope Knight is still available and would develop into a starter. If they passed on Irving, I think there would be a ton of trade offers for Minnesota to consider. Then Utah could very well take Knight if Kanter doesn't impress. So Cleveland could be stuck with Williams/Kanter. Now that might be a very good draft, but I think they are really looking for a franchise PG.

Whatever happens, I just don't see Irving slipping to #3. He'll either be taken by Cleveland or Minnesota will select him for another team.

Kanter's workout and interview with us is tomorrow and the next day, right? I think this will ultimately give us the answer to the question of who we will take at 3.
