Agreed.

Irving
Waiters

TT
Andy

That looks good on paper but Ben at the 3 would be a problem, way undersized and not good enough defensively from what I've seen. You would be able to evaluate more obviously.

Yea I thought he was taller...only 6'4"

I'm not convinced McLemore can play the 3...

A defensive anchor is exactly what the Cavs need, especially with Kyrie's shitty D.

Also, rob, if you watched any Cavs games for the second part of the season last year, you would know TT's offensive game developed quite nicely.

No it's true, he's not a very good defensive player. But the work ethic is there and I don't think he worked very hard on his defensive game at KU. He obviously would need to do that in the NBA. He has the athletic ability, so I don't see why he couldn't improve defensively.

Cant blame them for exploring options..Im sure somebody out there really likes Noel.

Love this!! Trade and you have so many options. Could end up with 3 first rounders..could maybe just move back a few spots. Lots of options. I think Noel would be great defensively for mike brown. But you can't have no offense from your big men.

@chadfordinsider Sneak peak at Top 5. 1. Cavs - Noel 2. Magic - Burke 3. Wizards - Porter 4. Bobcats - McLemore 5. Suns - Oladipo

I'm perfectly happy with Andy, Zeller, and TT for the 4 and 5.

Wow....burke is projected that high?! I mean, he is good, but wow

I did catch a few games but to me he is still raw and very mechanical with his footwork. I think a lot of that was due to situation, with all the injuries and Kyrie being hurt he was featured a lot more. That won't be the case when everyone is healthy so his holes will show when he has to be efficient night in and night out. Not saying he hasn't improved at all because he has, but marginally based on what I've seen. Thing is though, if you can get a center to pair with him that can score on the block then Tristan can just do what he is good at, rebound and block shots, without that I don't see him becoming what he can become, as that would allow him to just play a role. Unfortunately I don't think Nerlens would be the guy to do that for him.

Im happy if Andy is healthy. Im not happy with a guy who has missed 120+ games the past 3 seasons.

Hopefully they trade him before the inevitable season ending injury

Yet you wanna take Nerlens?

To my knowledge, Nerlens only injury was an injury where he blocked a shot and then landed into the support of a basketball hoop. That's about as freak of an injury as there is.

No a freak injury is Kyrie's toe injury at Duke.

Falling on your incredibly skinny knees and tearing your ACL is not a freak injury.

@clubtrillion: Cavs draft Noel. He rehabs all year. Win lottery again & get Wiggins. Oden signs. LeBron comes back. 5 #1 overall picks in '14. Done & done.

Why? You would rather have the #3 pick in a terrible draft?

Yeah he's consistently been top 5 in mocks. his game IMO mirrors CP3 exactly almost

Agree to disagree then. Its not like he was cutting on it and it tore. He fell into a basket support.

I really don't want Noel. Best thing to do is try and trade it for a young proven player such as love. I honestly would rather go porter or mclemore

I'd be perfectly fine w/ taking Porter #1 overall, if we can't trade out of the first pick.

I agree. We are almost at that point where we really can't take bpa.

Still want Porter.

Always so mad and negative. /S&L
