Am I the only one that thinks Cleveland will take Embiid and the Jazz will trade up with the Bucks to take Parker and the Sixers will end up with Wiggins ?

 No way Milwaukee trades down.  Small market teams need to build through draft and generate star power.  The Bucks are not going to pass on Wiggins or Parker.

This.  I’m not sure why anyone thinks this is an actual possibility.  Milwaukee has said from the get-go that it’s a 4 person draft, and by all reports, their top 4 appears to be some combination of the guys that are expected to go top 4.

Milwaukee has been waiting nearly 15 years to have a chance at getting a potential superstar on their team, and they just brought in new team owners that will need to make a big splash to get the public behind them and gain the funding that they need to build the new stadium in Milwaukee.

They are not going to trade down any lower than 4 if they trade down at all.

The teams that could potentially trade down would be Cleveland (they’re desperate to get back to the playoffs, so gathering multiple players that can help or trading the pick for one guy that can immediately be a huge upgrade could be a possibility) or Orlando (if they prefer Smart over Exum, and they would only trade down in the event that Jabari, Wiggins, and Embiid are gone).  Having said that, I would still be surprised if anyone trades out of the top 4 since most seem to agree on who the top 4 are.

But yeah, the only way Milwaukee trades down to 5 is if they also get Derrick Favors and multiple first round picks or something crazy like that.  It just isn’t going to happen.

All that could happen.  Jazz fans would go out of their minds.  What’s the deal that gets them to #2 though?
