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?

#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!

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.
reply
Trade him to the clippers for 10 first rounders. Haha

I'm sure Cleveland would whiff on those picks.

Jokic Embiid (plugging nose) Randle

Embiid is not on my board
