Jabari Parker Prefers Bucks Over Cavaliers

[Birdman]

Seems like no one wants to play for THE MISTAKE BY THE LAKE Cleveland...Irving & Waiters wants out and u know Deng and Hawes are not going to resign with them..

It's like picking which gulag you want to be imprisioned at.

Mil, Clev, or Min .

No wonder Lakers get every good player "eventually" , after spending A rookie contract there , you are ready to get the heck out of Dodge.

Chances ...people players like Parker , Wiggins , Drummond, etc staying with those cold losing places is near zip.

This point exactly I think justify us not tanking all the way.

When the Steelers beat the Patriots in 2004 in the regular season they exited the stadium chanting "Cleveland Sucks" and "Mistake By the Lake" for some reason lol.

A source says Jabari Parker strongly prefers to play for the Milwaukee Bucks, something that the Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be aware of.

Parker worked out for the Cavaliers on Friday and two sources said he seemed indifferent. One source thought Parker "tanked" the workout.

"Jabari wasn't himself," one source said. "It was clear we weren't his first option."

But the Cavaliers are still leaning toward taking Parker over Andrew Wiggins.

Why would you rather go to the bucks? I know Cleveland is a bad franchise, but at least they have some young talent he would fit with . Irving/ Parker is a pretty [dang] good duo. Then you have Waiters who has shown flashes of very good talent, Thompson is a good rotation player, Varajaeo also may have something left if he can stay healthy .

What do the Bucks have ? I like Giannis' potential, and Henson , but the rest of their roster is pretty bad . Mayo? Sessions? Knight? Illyasova ? Pretty much garbage

Oh come on.....Milwaukee is a way better town. Better beer. The Fonz lives there, so maybe he can buy the Cunningham's old house. Lavern and Shirley live there. More cheese. Wisconsin is a fine university and a fine team, far more so than THE Ohio State University (like we might get it confused with the Ohio Bobcats or something).  Wayne and Garth live there. It's just better. Way better.

Minor quip.  Wayne & Garth lived in Aurora, IL.  They just went to Milwaukee to see Alice Cooper.  C'mon eja, you gotta know that stuff!

Only been to Milwaukee in the summertime.  Fine town.  Summerfest is a great festival.   Right on with the breweries!  Gorgeous lakefront.  Miller Park is pretty awesome (including the tailgate scene outside). 

Reminds me of a mini-Chicago.

[Birdman]

And theres no pressure in Milwaukee..u rarely hear bout the Bucks.they have not had a great team since days of Sikma, Cummings, Pressley, Ellis etc

[mmmmm]

My prediction is that Parker will play for whichever of these crappy franchises draft him until the end of his rookie deal and then will do everything in his power to move to a stronger organization.

Cavs prob are indifferent who they get.  They will ask the bucks for the 31st for the 33rd and let them choose parker 1st

If the Cavs are gonna move down even a spot, they're going to ask for something a heckuva lot more than a swap of 2nd round picks.

Parker wants to get to the Garden of Edens. Fast!

I guess Mallory does her job well

Its a sticky situation. Cavs can choose wiggins with no 1. But can play with the bucks with bluffing to choose parker. If the cavs ask for too much the bucks will shrug and take wiggins without a blink

That's a near 100 % guarantee .

Wiggins , Drummond and Irvin will be Lakers one day along with Klay Thompson .

It's what they do.....pick the bottom feeders clean

Also why the talent heads out west at he drop of a hat...out of the cold .....

yes the cold is such a big issue. its why we see so many star players going to Orlando as free agents.

honestly thought whats the deal with Orlando not getting free agents if the cold is such a big deal to NBA players?

This may be a moot issue as he may be back in Utah.

RE: Report out of Utah ... would be bold & thoroughly unexpected departure for Jazz to be willing to surrender Favors on top of lottery pick
