Yahoo is reporting that the Sixers are looking to trade up to draft Wiggins. Supposedly they are offering No. 3 and No. 10 to the Cavs. Interesting and what it might mean to the Jazz at No. 5.
 
Philly is gaming Milwaukee. They want the bucks to pick Wiggins so that Jabarri or Embiid falls to #3.

Probably the same as it means for the Bulls at #16 and the Thunder at #21.
 
I think that's a dumb move for Philly. I'd rather take whatever is leftover at 3 and keep the 10th pick.

My read on Philly's goals in team-building and the pulse of their fans is that they would take Exum over Parker (in a vacuum). I don't think they're gaming anyone, I think they want Wiggins (or Embiid). Add in this rumor/report, and either you have something that just makes sense, or the best smoke screen in the NBA.

Bucks and the Cavs want Philli's other pick. Sixers would be tarded to give it up imo. Any of the top 3 plus the #10 is awesome. I'd take Parker and Stauskas and not worry about Wiggins.

I totally thought this until just now. I think mellow may be right. It probably is the best smokescreen in the NBA.

Interesting.
If I'm Cleveland, I DON'T do it. Embiid is a once-in-a-decade talent and great 5's are just too hard to find. Cavs desperately need a center. Hawes is unrestriced and isn't a top talent anyway. Varejao is old and is always hurt. Would Parker be an upgrade over Thompson? Sure. But Thompson is at least young and serviceable. I don't think Embiid slips past Milwaukee since they need a replacement for their pothead, Sanders. There really isn't another center in the top half of the draft. Cleveland would have to go with someone like Stauskas or McDermott at #10, but they already have Waiters at SG and Anthony Bennett ostensibly replacing Deng at SF.
