What about it?

You're unable to have 2 #1 picks on the same team, so he'd be traded, or cut.

Probably cut.

If the Cavs traded up to #1 to draft John Wall, then John Wall would be a Cav. Not that hard to figure out.

Why cant you have 2 #1 picks on a team? Is that seriously a rule or were you just saying it wont work out?

Yeah you don't see it very often, but seriously, if the Cavs could pull that off, they would have a very dangerous team for many years, if Lebron stayed that is.

The Cavs have two number one picks on their team this year - Lebron and Shaq. They had two last year also with Lebron and Joe Smith.

Joe Smith was a very good player for a very long time. Probably not deserving of the #1, but I wouldn't necessarily consider him a bust.

Back on the topic, please delete.

So......how do ya think they could trade up to that pick? What would they give?

Sounds like a costanza type of reasoning when he was telling Steinbrunner how they could get griffey and another top flight player and it wouldnt cost that much....

They would have to trade LeBron to get the #1 pick. I would rather have LeBron, even if it is only for a few more months.

I was about to say that the only way Cleveland could land the number 1 pick this year is to Trade LeBron. Maybe it they think they can't re-sign him they should do this.

considering we don't know who will have the #1 pick, would you trade him immediately after the lottery?
