    Not blaming him or anything, but these dudes gotta known that around this time, there are always going to be people who tell them what they want to hear instead of what could actually happen.

    But I think he'll end up on someone's Summer League Roster though because he can play.
    People?

    It was his own brother.

    What happened to Am I my brother's keeper? He straight up lied to him.

    Jones is a Senior so he had to come out...but like ex had said...don't show up to the draft. Not a good look at all.

      But Waiters at #4 is beyond reaching. His agent needs a raise propping up Waiters' stock with that guarantee.

      Waiters and Zeller is not a bad draft by any means.

      But I think you'll regret either/both not trading up for Beal and passing on Barnes.

      Waiters and Zeller isn't a bad draft but when you need positions and talent upgrades 3 picks 1 of which is in the first round and 1 is top of the second round in a deep draft is a killer

        I just wish the Cavs would have had a backup plan. If so they wouldve just dropped back a couple picks to take neon dion. But nooo, we had to take him at 4.

          Lucas, it takes two to tango. You cannot say "I want to trade back" and then it magically happens. Gotta have a dance partner. And you have to make sure you still get that guy you want.

          I just hope the Cavs are right. This pick is a "I'm smarter than everyone in the room" type pick. I hope Grant is right here. He's been a part of the only organizations to take a player in the lotto who hasn't started for his team *Marvin Williams and now Dion Waiters*

            I understand OSU, but do you think the cavs panicked? Also can I get your opinion on the Thompson pick last year?

              Neither of us know if this is true or not.

              All I'm saying is just because some team makes a "promise"(which we ALL know are useless because they don't mean crap)to you doesn't mean you should think that's what will happen. Always prepare for the worst case scenario unless you're a clear cut number 1 pick.

              He's not the first or last player that's had that happen to him.

                I think the Cavs were prepared for it and said "Let's take our shot." I can respect them taking a shot at Waiters rather than taking the safe pick with Barnes.

                Last year, I was happy with the Thompson pick. I thought we got, and still have, a legit shot blocking PF with out of this world athletic ability. If he can have any post moves or even develop a short jumper, he's going to be a beast. He can rebound like crazy and has more growing to do. I cannot wait to see him next year.

                    You don't have a bad starting lineup either. You guys are fast paced to all hell.

                    Edit: Or can be fast paced depending on if you guys move V-Jo for a more solid two. I don't know if Waiters can start.

                      Bill Neff is Kevin Jones agent. Draft Express said Bill is Kevins brother. NOT TRUE.

                        ClutchFans.net ‏@clutchfans
                        Source confirms the "minor move" by the Rockets was for the 53rd pick of the draft, Turkish power forward Furkan Aldemir.
                        Did the Rockets really just acquire ANOTHER PF through trade?

                        What is the plan here?

                          Im just kind of still in shock. I was almost for sure that we were going to take the Cats pick. The media really messes with me. But then I was almost sure we would take Barnes at 4. All I can do is trust in the organization. What could go wrong? Its Cleveland, we have nothing to lose!

                            Stat of the night: Dion Waiters weighs MORE than Anthony Davis.
