Even I would trade Kanter as part of a deal for the no. 1

Not happening though. When Cavs say they want a C, they want rim protection.

If it took 3 players I be most open to Hayward, Kanter and Burke but the Cavs do not need a PG... But at what point is to much to much?

3 players does sound steep, unless the third player was JLIII

We would still need decent players to play with the #1 if we got him.
 
For #1 I think I would do this trade. However. I do fear where that leaves us defensively. As most of us know, defense wins. And we can argue back and forth that Favors wasn't good defensively this year. But I wonder if those who say that relate defense to only steals and blocks? Cause defense is more than that. And finding a defensive big man who can move quick laterally is a rare thing. But yes, I would make that trade.

The defense would be roughly as good if that #1 is Embiid or Wiggins...both reportedly great defenders. parker trades offense for defense. But with the need to fill 3-4 roster spots and money to spend you can sign players that are good at D.
 
The jazz would be foolish to decline this trade, i wonder what type of contract would come back from Cleveland...

Jarrett Jack?

I want no part of the lottery next year unless it's a pick from another team. heh

I don't either. This draft was special. I don't want to blow up our young core on a gamble. We had unique assets and situations to assemble the core we have. It is hard to imagine us getting into this same great position without the decades of pain that other teams with multiple lotto picks have gone through.

I'd do # 5 and any one of our young core for the no. 1 pick. That's where I draw the line.
 
What if we did trade 5 and a core player for the no. 1 pick, and then traded #23, #35, one of our many 2nd rounders, and some kind of salary absorption w/ SAC for the 8th pick (like has already been proposed on here)? Who are your selections?

Ok. I've got vertigo now....

I'll be back later.

Pau, is that you Pau? Can we pick you up for cheap in the FA market?

Also, if we had 1 and 8..... geez, would almost have to go Embiid for a rim protector and BPA left at 8. Who would be left that is worth drafting, most likely not a star, a possible starter I would think. Too many names for me to pin down an 8.
 
Kanter and/or Favors and/or Hayward and/or Burke for Jabari Parker or Embiid ?
in a heartbeat.
our 5th. pick, too?
sure thing!
