Well, whatever. It's not that bad, though, the obvious pick is Embiid.
But he might be injury prone so whatever.
Still waititing for all this to be a "smokescreen" so they can get Randle no1. This the only organization in history to set smokescreens and shit when they picking number 1 :lol
[QUOTE=roffie]in b4 they don't pick any of the big 3
forever cavs the laughing stock[/QUOTE]
If they do this again this year, I'm going to go insane. I'm already imagining it, "With the first pick of the NBA draft the Cleveland Cavaliers select...Aaron Gordon"
or
"With the first pick of the NBA draft the Cleveland Cavaliers select...Julius Randle"
or
"With the first pick of the NBA draft the Cleveland Cavaliers select...Dante Exum"
Teams are not disclosing to sports journalists what their honest intentions are for the draft :facepalm

What as a cavs fan makes you think this way? how are any past picks relevant to who griffin will choose? Dan Gilbert is not picking draft picks so how have you lost faith in the new gm already? i for one am glad the rid themselves of the ferry crew brown/grant and have liked everything griffin has done so far. future looks bright cheer up cavs fan.
Amico routinely pulls stories straight from his bunghole. In fact, when he reports something, I tend to think the exact opposite is the truth. He had the Cavs taking Alex Len No. 1 overall last year just before the draft started. It was his breaking news report.
Turns out he wasn't even in their Top 3 according to the information that has come out since.
In other words, this probably means Embiid is the pick.
Brah, it's Amico. He's full of bs.

Clippers did in 2009. They straight up said were drafting blake griffin.
I think they got fined too.

amico was POSITIVE it was Len or Noel :oldlol:
Amico is a hack... He is not plugged in at all.
Jason Lloyd of the ABJ is the most plugged in cavs beat writer (or at least was with the Grant administration).
Chris Grant's cavs were notoriously tight-lipped, Danny Ferry's not so much. It will be interesting to see how Griffin's cavs are with the media.

Just the fact it's happened the last 2 drafts. I'm not saying they're going to do this, but it wouldn't surprise me because they've had two drafts in a row where the pick was from completely left field.

I understand the concern but thankfully grant is no longer with the team. I have a really hard time believing that the cavs would pass on Embiid, wiggins or Parker.
They are either going to take Embiid or trade the pick.
[QUOTE=Meticode]Amico isn't a solid source for most stuff. Take what he posts with a grain of salt. [B]Any Cavs follower[/B] knows this.
With the way the Cavs have drafted the last two drafts, don't take anything you say for granted in-my-opinion. Waiters two years ago wasn't on anyone's radar and neither was Bennett.[/QUOTE]
All 3 of you :oldlol:
I'm hoping the they blow it again lol just for the lulz
If Embiid's back is OK, he's our pick. 100% sure.

Watching Joel Embiid in workout for league executives in Santa Monica. Impossible to imagine passing on him at No. 1.
