As a Buckeye, I'm a fan of D'Angelo Russell. But this year, I'm hoping his stats are very empty. Go score your points... and lose!

I really hope we keep the pick barring a miracle trade coming our way which I dont see happening. This draft class is great too. I'm pumped if LBJ walks again we can get a young player right off the bat instead of sitting through a year of Manny Harris and Samardo Samuels. If LBJ stays we can potentially flip it for another star good times.

They won't win 30 games... might have promising young guys like Russell and Levert but they traded their best player and will be starting Mozgov, Demarre Carroll, and Allen Crabbe with basically no depth. Marvin Bagley come on down

Don't mind me I'm just BROWsing through

I flip this pick for Boogie, like, YESTERDAY.

He hasn't had a problem doing that the last couple years.

Without assurances from LBJ and DeMarcus saying he will resign why would we make this move? On top of that well DeMarcus is a great player does he truly fit here? Does accept being the 3rd option behind LBJ and Isaiah possibly the 4th if KLove is still here. Without LBJ signing an extension I keep this pick. And I mean signing the extension his word means nothing he could easily say hes coming back then we flip the pick and he leaves anyways. I don't want this team to make a short sighted move.

Boogie's a monster. Monsters fit EVERYWHERE.

And Boogie would be dumb not to re-up here, with a chance to go deep in the playoffs for once.

Oh wait - Boogie IS dumb...

We gave up Wiggins (tons of hype) for a one year rental of Love.
When you have a guy like LeBron on your roster, you dont say nahh...
Lets hold onto this draft pick and try to win a championship 5-8 years from now. The time is now.
If you can rent PG or DMC for this year...you do it.

There is going to be risk involved. Teams wont give up a superstar unless its a short term deal.

The part of me that wants to win now wants to trade this pick.

But then you see Marvin Bagley highlights and it's like-holy crap-the cavs have a 25-50 percent chance of acquiring the best NBA prospect since lebron.

Sorry Anthony Davis or Kevin Durant- but bagley is like a god on the court in much the same way lebron is. He literally would be another 6 years of championship contention.....

That's a little over the top, huh?

I actually prefer Michael Porter Jr to Bagley

I'm giving it like a 60% chance that we trade it. We could get a young star for it that could play with Lebron or build around if he leaves.
