i will go down on a hooker if embiid lasts until 10. no chance in hell.

You mean you haven't done that already?

Philadelphia is still working on a final decision at No. 3, but Joel Embiid has a tremendous chance to be selected there,

Charlotte remains focused on a shooter with No. 9. Doug McDermott is No. 1 choice, Nik Stauskas Plan B, sources tell Yahoo.

If Wiggins is the prize then I do 3, 10, and 32. I hate parting with those picks but Embiid's injury scares the shtein out of me and Exum is too much of an unknown. It's really a no-brainer. Cleveland is posturing at this point and driving the price up. Maybe they still take Embiid at 1 and Parker goes two to the Bucks but it's all too much of an unknown. Go with the guy with the biggest upside, the 10th pick is irrelevant if you don't hit with the 1st pick.

i feel really bad for any teams who don't have both a top 3 and a top 10 pick

Barring an 11th hour offer, Cleveland plans to keep No. 1 pick and choose between Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, source tells Yahoo.

Out on a deal for #1 per Woj.

90+ % that was all Cleveland smokescreen trying to drive up bids for the pick.

Goodbye Wiggy

I think there's a chance he's there if Cleveland goes Parker.  Milwaukee has been lukewarm on him this whole process.

Woj is probably the most reliable there is out there.  I wonder if it's not coincidental that he tweets they are heavily considering Embiid and then that they're out as the follow up?

[Eagles_Legendz]

Bottom line - I'll be happy if they end up with Wiggins/Parker/Embiid.  I'll be indifferent but cautiously optimistic if it's Exum.  I will be really farging angry if it's Randle/Gordon/Vonleh/Smart.  I expect Thad gone by the end of the night.

i want a third top ten pick

i want a third top ten pick

Embiid, move MCW, and take Smart at 7 + someone at ten
Embiid, move MCW, take Randle/Gordon at 7 + PG at ten
or Exum, move MCW, take Randle/Gordon + someone at 10

?

[PhillyPhreak54]

@WojYahooNBA: Aaron Gordon is almost assuredly to be drafted before forwards Noah Vonleh and Julius Randle, front office sources tell Yahoo.
