I don't know how I feel about it. We gave up the rest of our draft for Zeller..

I'm pretty "meh" about the draft, but hope it works out.

Varejao is all but gone with Zeller going to the Cavs.

Zeller does very little for me. He does have potential though. Hope it works out. He needs to put on some weight, fast!

Zeller is very good in the post I like the pick. I would have liked to keep a 2nd rounder but I'm ok with it. I have a feeling were gonna have some solid free agent signings

Lol... Dion fucking waiters and Tyler zellar for 3 picks. I fucking hate cleveland sports. F- on this draft. Makes the browns draft look brilliant. So bad. Worse than Thompson at 4 by a mile.

Center is overrated anymore. How is Zeller worth those picks?

Because he has a very good post game and rebounder? I would have liked to keep a 2nd at least but were didn't have room for 4 draft picks anyways

Quite a few mocks had Zeller going in the 10-12 range. I wouldnt give up 3 picks for him but let's see what he can do.

What were we going to do at 33 or 34? Grab a player or two that we could stash in Europe for a year? 33 and 34 rarely pan out in the NBA, this isnt the NFL where you find starters in the 2nd round that often.

Waiters can play. The Cavs wanted MKG or Beal but when both were gone they followed their board and went with the next guy available

Guys.. Complaining about losing second round picks?? C'mon now. They rarely make an impact.

I like this trade. He runs well, rebounds well and has a nice offensive game. Plus it likely means losing Andy v and his contract. I'm good with this pick.

Wow I actually like the draft. We got an atheletic legit SG who can flat out score and defend, and a nice young legit 7' to play the center position. Pretty good draft IMO. And I think Varejao stays. Cavs love him, fans love him, and ALWAYS need bigs in the NBA.

Reps and agree. Zeller had the second best rebounding rate in the draft, nothing to complain about IMO.

Leonard and henson went in the lottery too. It's an awful draft for post players.

Oh and anyone still complaining about TT last year at #4 is stupid. TT is going to be a very good player!!! He was a great pick!

Kyrie, Waiters, Gee, T2, and Zeller. Very athletic starting 5 at least.

Andy will be traded as well.
