I want NOTHING to do with Drummond. I'd rather take Thomas Robinson, who you at least know can and will be productive at the next level. Low ceiling, high floor. Drummond: medium ceiling, basement floor.

THIS. Thomas Robinson 10 times out of 10 over Drummond.

This....I see Drummond doing similar to Thabeet in the NBA, which is next to nothing...

Maybe MKG falls to the Cavs? I'd way rather have Beal or Barnes then Drummond though

If anyone even entertains the thought of Drummond at 4 I may hit them with my car. I would rather have Fab Melo at 22 than Drummond at 4.

if drummond shows well enough at camps and workouts that the cavs would have no problem taking him at #4, then there's an excellent chance he's gone before the cavs are on the clock anyway.

that being said, you don't turn down a chance to get a franchise center for a wing player or a run of the mill PF. never.

Gotta love Charlotte and Washington ahead of us since they are known to EFFF things up for themselves.

My initial prediction is we are going to hear ALOT of speculation about the Cavs trying to trade up and Charlotte being a willing trade partner. If they truly prefer Robinson (like the initial rumblings), Washington is going SG/SF (Beal or MKG) Then the Bobcats SHOULD trade down. Or they will just be dumb enough to pick Robinson and #2 to basically allow the Cavs to take whoever is left. At #4 the Cavs take whoever is left, the only problem is if they really like one of them over the other they have no control over it.

And one thing about the Bobcats that make them a perfect trade partner is the Bobcats have two bad contracts they want to get rid of, and you know the Cavs are willing to take bad contracts to get what they want. Those bad contracts? Maggette or Tyrus Thomas.

That's what I'm banking on. If it were any other two teams in front of us I would be more worried that they would take MKG and Beal. However Charlotte and Washington have a knack for making poor draft decisions ans reaching. Hopefully one or both does it again here.

Apparently Cavs were one ball (at the end of a 4-digit sequence) from winning the #1 pick:

http://nba-point-forward.si.com/2012/05/30/nba-draft-lottery/?sct=hp_t13_a1&eref=sihp

So was Jeffrey Cohen, vice chairman of the Cavaliers. If the final ball was marked with a ?3,? the Cavaliers would win the lottery for the second straight season. A ?7,? Demps knew, would give the Hornets the top spot. Ten more seconds passed, and a man with his back to the machine raised his hand, indicating that the official in charge of the machine should have it suck up the last ball.

Walton for Thomas and swap picks. Take MKG, Fab Melo and 2 wings in the second.

I'd much rather take Moultrie than Melo, if both are available at #24. Hell, I'd rather take the best available wing at 24, then take Kyle O'Quinn at 33, rather than taking Melo.
