Another factor increasing Cle chances of trading the #1

Parker is talented no doubt and has a great motor on offense. But his issues have been defense and weight management. Its disappointing that he remains overweight. 255 might be heavier than love was last season and unlike lebron who is a freak of nature and one of a kind, 255 might not be able to defend the perimeter at the nba level.

To make it clear, Im not saying parker will be bad before cam and the rest jump on it. But I would have like to see him using this period to round out his game and position in the pro's.

As drew said, it could be nothing, a decoy or just a bad day for parker. The guy is very talented but Il take wiggins over him if we have a shot at it. Wiggins has a clear cut position with the ability to defend 2 positions. Elite athlete and potential 2 way player. Parker is further along than wiggins now but the ceiling isn't as high.

Agreed World. I think you summed it up well

Any possible chance for a 3 team deal involving Cleveland and 76ers, where the 76ers get the #1 we get the #3 & #10 + prospect (Waiters/Thompson/Bennett) and Cleveland get Love and #13...just a thought. The mysteriousness of Exum has me intrigued + the possibility someone like Gordon/Randle falls to 10

The 76ers are already reportedly not interested in trading 3 and 10 for 1. We would take on Thad Young if you wanted the deal to work according to what they are reportedly looking for. I would rather have the top pick and keep Wiggins than take Thad and 3. You might be able to squeeze 3 and 10 out of them for 1 and 13, but I don't think Cleveland deals the 1 with just Love coming back to them. Not in this draft at least. They should if they truly want to win now, but probably won't and be back in the lottery again next year because rookies don't make big impacts on teams and they have no concept of that fact.
