Cavs interested in Magic trade (1 for 4, 12, and Affalo)

Both the rumored orlando offer and the rumored utah offer are sort of unbelievable.

At this point if those offers are real then Cleveland would be foolish to make their pick IMO.

Especially with their drafting track record...

Embiid will probably end up the best player in this draft long-term... and he'll be there at #4.

#4 + #12 + affalo for #1... kinda a no brainer for the Cavs.  They want Embiid... they'll get Embiid.

Cleveland will probably keep the #1 pick and then select Julius Randle.  They are historically stupid.

I disagree.  Embiid is a gamble.  He could be great, but he may never be healthy.  Afflalo is a solid player and the #12 pick may be as well, but neither guy is likely to make a huge impact.

For the Celtics, who may go the route of rebuilding and have a ton future draft picks, Embiid is worth the gamble.

For Celeveland who has a young star in Irving and several nice young players, they should take a sure thing in Wiggins or Parker or trade for a guy like Love.  Expect Irving to run away in a couple of years like Lebron did if Embiid can't stay healthy.
