Hard to believe the Cavs have won the lottery 3 times since Lebron left. If that was, say, the Lakers or Celtics or Knicks, I think we'd have some conspiracy theorists.

If the Lakers or Celtics had won last night, I'm sure we'd be hearing about it.

Wonder who they take? Seems like Embiid is the best fit.

Cavs need a big man...But is Embiid enough to keep Kyrie in Cleveland?

 

Whichever of these 3 goes to Philly is the winner here IMO.

 

With MCW, Noel and 2 top 10 picks, Philly could be good soon and that is a place you figure can draw FAs.

I see Gilbert is saying he is already getting calls for #1 pick.  I could see the Lakers moving up although I think they could get Smart at 7 and that's a great pick for them,

 

Would Philly deal their 3 and 10 for the 1st?(they shouldn't)

Wiggins looks more like a sure thing to me, if there is such a thing. Cleveland struck out last year taking Bennett over Victor O, I can't see them passing up a talent like Wiggins. We'll see.

Yep..I'm taking Parker first and then Wiggins but it's close...for me personally, they are far apart from Embiid..I may even take guys like Smart, Exum and Randle over Embiid too.

Embiid is a complete wild card.

Embiid broke his foot..he had a back issue, now his foot. 2 things big players tend to struggle with.

Stay far away!

4-6 months recovery for Embiid.

Going to be interesting to see how far he falls and who takes a chance on him

He definitely won't fall out of the lottery. At some point someone will think the potential outweighs the risks, relative to the players left on the board. I can't see him getting past either Philly or Orlando's 2nd lottery picks (#10 and #12, respectively), since they already hold the #3 and #4 picks, and thus will be more willing to roll the dice at that point.
