Well Cavs fans the NBA draft is this thursday. Assuming Anthony Davis is off the board, who do you want at number 4? Or do you trade up/down?

My Top 5 available
1. Brad Beal
2. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
3. Harrison Barnes
4. Thomas Robinson
5. Andre Drummond

I like MKG, but I keep hearing his offense is a concern.

If they could trade 4 and 24 for the 2

Pick up Beal with that

Then trade Andy (love the guy, but he is always injured and won't help the team in 2 or 3 years anyways) for the #7 and pick up a big man

Then use one of their 2nd rounders on Green from Michigan

I would def call it a successful draft.

Green, really? He doesn't seem very athletic.

I've heard many rumors and have saw many "predictions". I've heard the 4 and 24 picks to Charlotte for the 2, then taking Beal. I saw a mock draft by one of the ESPN experts that had Cleveland grabbing Kidd-Gilchrist with the fourth pick. If we stay at four and are able to select Kidd-Gilchrist, that would be a huge win IMO. I want Beal or Kidd-Gilchrist, I think those two players will have the biggest impact outside of Davis.

trade down to 6 & 11, get Jeremy "baby face assassin" Lamb and Perry Jones III..

I don't really know much about those guys, but i have been all about Beal since he started at Florida, dude plays D, scores, and has an outside shot. He would easily replace jamison's scoring for next year. What is the word on lamb and jones? what are their strengths/projections?

i agree. I like the fact that he played with Kyrie back in the day too. I still wish we could get the 7 pick for andy though, i really think his value is peaked and he is always hurt. He is playing in the Olympics again (which he has come back hurt the last 2 times)... just love to rid the team of him.

He looked pretty darn athletic when he was torching osu last season and blowing up in the tourney. He can hit from the outside, rebounds, has a nice jumper. I think he would really help off the bench.

Lamb can score but there are questions about his heart and work ethic. Jones is a freak athlete projected lottery pick last year, might have been a top 5 pick. I like Beal just dont him falling to 4

I too would love to get a second lottery with a trade. I heard rumors of the Cavs wanting to do that too, not surprising though. I'm actually excited for this draft just because I don't know what is going to happen. By the sound of it, the Cavs are exploring tons of options.

Those two picks are definitely high risk/high reward. That's why I think the Cavs will stay at 4 with one pick or move up, I could be wrong. Jones has so much potential, I'd love to have him but along with a Beal or Kidd-Gilchrist.

I hope we don't lose if we are in a bidding war. I know all of these players are question marks but if the FO thinks Beal is our guy, I want to win him. Houston has been making tons of noise lately, draft and Dwight Howard.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers, who covet guard Bradley Beal, have offered the Nos. 4, 24 and 33 picks for the Nos. 2 and 31 selections, a source told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard."
