If the Cavs take Embiid and we trade up to 2; then we must draft Wiggins. There will be some growing pains but Wiggins can get into the paint and will and has the size and skill to become a great scorer. Also he is a good defender who can become a great one. As for the trade Burks, #5, #23 and a future #1 seems reasonable to me. Though you could put Kanter or Burke in there if the Bucks would take them.
Rumor: Jazz willing to trade Burks to move up into top-3

Off topic but did you see the rumors out of OKC after they got knocked no out of the playoffs? Sign CJ miles was at the top of their offseason plans.
On topic-- any deal with the Bucks will be bringing contracts back. Do you like OJ mayo or Ersan Ilysova better?

Yes. We need a star potential #1 option player. We will only get better next year and wot be in the best position to draft another next year.

This... it's going to cost a lot to move up. I'd do it for Embiid or Wiggins.

I would consider Favors for that because:
He is plateauing in development.
He has a questionable motor (reference MIL game, etc.)
Is short for a C, and underoffensed for a PF
Gobert has serious potential. Posted 13 REB and 3.4 BLK per 36 last year.
If we suck again next year, that draft is full of big men.
Would trade him and #5 in a heartbeat for Wiggins.

This is true. Cavs have Irving who is an all star. They need a rim protector. Theory is Favors, #5, and #23. They do it because they get their rim protection, and another potential all star @ 5. We do it because we get Wiggins.
Bucks need a rim protector since Sanders is up in smoke. They have a promising SF in Giannis, but they don't have any pieces on their team that would justify them moving back. They don't have enough clay to build with, and since the hardest thing to acquire is franchise talent, they're staying put.
Sixers have MCW, Noel, and Young. All are, or will be decent, but none will be great. They're staying put, unless they decide they don't want anyone but Wiggins, and there #2 option is Vonleh or someone who could be had later.
Ironically, I could kind of see the Cavs trading the pick. It seems like something they'd do. But then again, I doubt it. If Wiggins or Embiid turned into franchise players, and they traded the pick, there would be riots in Cleveland.

i'm not surprised, he's a solid role player, drafted 34th overall he's doing just fine
it'll be fun if he will win something with okc

He shows up every 5 games. So maybe they get a good game #2 and game #7 out of him. Durant and Westbrook will have to carry the team in games #1 and #5.
