Alright Cleveland is once again picking first. (Is it suspicious that this is the third time they've been here in four years?)
They've got a trade ready with Minnesota, who wants Andrew Wiggins and will send back Kevin Love.
Should they still go that route, or is there a better option in this draft?
Who do you recommend they take with the first pick?

With the benefit of hindsight I am obviously taking Jokic but clearly he was on no one’s radar.
Without hindsight I probably would have taken the biggest loser and screwed my franchise up for two decades.
@SimpleStacker absolutely nailed it: Draft Embiid and trade him for Jokic and more picks.
Trade him to the clippers for 10 first rounders. Haha
I'm sure Cleveland would whiff on those picks.
#1 go with what worked #2 draft Joel Embiid, trade him for the 41st pick and 2 future first round picks
Excellent. Thinking like a GM. I would copy your strategy.
That's brilliant GM work!
Jokic Embiid (plugging nose) Randle
Embiid is not on my board
