This is one of the newer reports. Oh, everybody wants the 1st pick. Oh, to be able to control your destiny. I’ve heard that the Cavs would love to win now, especially if they want to convince LeBron James to come over. And so, getting a veteran like Thad Young would be nice and you still get a potential star at the 3rd spot. For the Sixers, if they are really sure that the player they want will not drop, then you make the move. But, for some reason, I don’t want them to do that. I think they should take the 3rd pick and run with it. Now, today reports came out that Joel Embiid had a foot injury. He could drop. My original “mock” was that Embiid would be 2nd and either Wiggins or Parker would be 1st, leaving the Sixers with the other one at 3rd. Assuming that it goes the same way, I would be fine the Sixers picking whoever fell.
