Multiple Lottery Picks:This years LAldridge/BRoy

 People act like they paid 12 million for the pick since they picked up Baron Davis’ contract. The will have to pay him another year than they would have Mo Williams, but they would have still had to pay for someone to be their starting Point Guard which would be around 7-8-9 million. Paying 3-5 million to rebuild faster sounds like a great deal to me.

 instead of trading mo williams for baron davis and an extra pick, why dont you keep mo williams draft a good prospect unless you plan on drafting kyrie irving and then go after harrison barnes, jared sullinger, or austin rivers next season who’s going to be your franchise superstar of the future instead of an old pg who’s had up and down seasons sence leaving the hornets organization, and if derrick williams doesnt declare for the nba draft, they’re going to have 2 top 5 picks for a weak draft, doesnt make logical sesne for a team thats "going to win an nba championship before lebron"

Logic involves making assumptions based on fact.  Felton is not a FA after this season.  Denver has a team option… expect it to be picked up.

Tyrober is completely correct if you look at things from that perspective. 

The Cavs nearly bought Detroits pick aswell.  Still might happen this offseason.

well, it depends on how the lottery turns out.  myself, I would want Irving and Barnes with those 2 picks if I could get them (if Barnes comes out).  would love a combo like Walker and D. Williams too.  how about picking 2 young frontcourt players with size like Kanter and P. Jones?  Cleveland shouldnt mess this up, but something tells me they will.

As everyone has reiterated, the Cavs are relatively solid at the point (BD, Sessions, Gibson, all of whom could be a starter on many teams), PF (Hickson/Jamison/Samuels), and C (Varejao – he isn’t great but they were much much better with him in the lineup).

That said, no matter who they go with talent-wise, ONE of them has to be a wing — Eyenga and Harris were sort of impressive this year but neither is the answer, and Parker’s contract is expiring. 

I would go with Derrick Williams first because he could play the 3 and add a good amount of strength and at least make them more formidable in that respect. Then with that second pick I’m targeting Knight to play the 2 and inject some quickness.

PG – Baron Davis/Ramon Sessions

SG – Brandon Knight/Daniel Gibson

SF – Derrick Williams/Christian Eyenga

PF – Antawn Jamison/J.J. Hickson

C – Anderson Varejao/Samardo Samuels

Irving is defintely markedly better than Davis, Sessions and Gibson, but when you break it down, the Cavs get the best production out of their PG’s of anyone in the league: Davis averages 14.6 and 6.3, Sessions averages 13.1 and 5.2, and Gibson goes for 11.6 and 3. Considering Irving’s potential being injury prone/lack of Paul/Rose/Wall upside, he isn’t worth taking when they have gigantic holes at the 2 and 3. Sorry, I love their effort and I know they’re young, but you can’t ever step on the court expecting to beat another NBA team when you’re starting Eyenga and Manny Harris.

I think the same goes for their big men. Kanter has question marks and does not have elite upside, PJIII is way too much of a ?, and neither Vesely or Valanciunas really fit. When you look at they have already, they have a very solid vet in Jamison (18 and 6.7), and Hickson who is averaging 13.7 and 8.6 and is just 22! Meanwhile, Varejao is a top 10 defensive center in the L.

To me it’s clear that they need wings, and there should be guys available. 

Again with the "logic".  For all of you capologists out there… what happens if you don’t spend up to the cap every season?  You lose out on the midlevel and you have a really tough time making trades without ripping up half your roster.  It really depends on your strategy.  If you’re the Thunder and Kings you take your time and build through the draft all the while staying under the cap untill your players blossom.  You can use your cap space to absorb other teams salary for future picks and/or young players.  The Cavs don’t appear to be that patient.  They likely hope to get this "rebuilding" thing done in 2-3 years.  Once you get under the cap its really hard to get back over it to keep up with the ORL and LAL spending habits.  You also lose out on your midlevel.  Being able to spend more gives you additional options.  Not every team can afford to spend that high but you’ll notice most teams spend up to the tax line every year.  Baron’s contract isn’t all that great but the Cav’s aren’t going to win for the next 2 years anyways.  By the time they’re a "piece or two away" low and behold you have this large expiring contract on your hands along with picks and young assets.  If your looking to net a big fish you can make it happen at just the right time.  Timing is everyting.

If your going for a quick rebuild you do it like the Cavs.  If your planning on being more patient… you shed salary and obligations and make decisions that may take 4-5 years to make a complete team. 

Problem is no one knows if D. Williams can play the Sf position yet

 Is Knight really going to play SG in the NBA?

Shoot, forgot that didn’t work out too well, Kahn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Assuming the new CBA doesn’t make it a two year mandatory stint in college the 2012 draft is going to be PACKED with talent. Having acquired Minnesota’s unprotected 2012 1st, the Clippers should have a good shot at adding two more stud players to pair with EG and the Blakeshow after next season. For some reason I just feel Cleveland is going to F it up this year…
