Cavs Beat Writer Says Parker

[Sect 236]

That's who he thinks they Cavs want the most.

[Anthony]

If that is the case then Embiid will be there at 3 like it or not. If they somehow do not want him wonder if they trade back to say #5 and pick Exum or Randle and try to get a #1 or a young player in return from Utah.

Simmons says...

One more important note: Joel Embiid is going to be the first pick of the 2014 draft. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. These teams are full of it. We’re worried about his back, we’re hearing it’s bad … Hold on, I’m actually going to stand under the bull as he craps on me. It’s Smokescreen Central right now. And enough with the Oden parallels; unless Embiid’s pre-draft MRI reveals a career-threatening back issue (doubtful), NOBODY is passing on a franchise center who could easily be described as “The 7-Foot Serge Ibaka.” Stop it. He’s going first. We’re officially calling tonight’s lottery “Bleed for Embiid.”
