or bette midler?

Maybe it's because he rose above adversity.

 

[PDXFonz]

Here it comes!

With the first pick of the draft, the Cleveland Cavilers pick: Johnny Manziel

I've never understood why they give the first team the time on the clock. They've had over a month.

For trades most likely. CLE has to pick the player of course but other teams are on the phone telling them we will give you X if you pick Y for us.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good point, Nate

 

[KingSpeed]

Why are the TV commentators so high on Embiid? The guy is hurt and hasn't played many years anyway. Seems like a guy you want to stay away from.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Embiid in the Funeral Black attire tonight. Kid's about to be a millionaire, but you gotta feel for him.

That makes sense

 

[BrianFromWA]

Still think this is Wiggins, and PHI will spend all night mortgaging their future to get him.

One word: potential

These fuckers are obsessed with potential and ceilings and all that stupid bullshit.

 

[PDXFonz]

It means he's into rosebudding.

 

[KingSpeed]

[Natebishop3]

Woj and Aldridge say it's WIggins.

Potential is for a #12 pick not a #1 pick.

 

[PDXFonz]

1. Wiggins
2. Parker

Trades happening

 

[BBert]

This is the first time I haven't set my DVR for this in years.

 

[KingSpeed]

Trade?

 

[PDXFonz]

Should have unless you are watching live!

 

[BBert]

Should have unless you are watching live!

I forgot, then went: 'meh'.

Let's hope I regret it!

 

[BrianFromWA]

the suit's even worse on stage. Wow. He's going for the all-time files with this one...

 

[Natebishop3]

It will be interesting to see if they trade Wiggins.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Cavs seem to have a hard on for Canada.

It will be interesting to see if they trade Wiggins.

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 1m Source: The Cavs will keep Andrew Wiggins. They did not draft him to trade him.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Only 34 members on? You guys can't get on from your work sites, or are you stuck in traffic??!!

LMAO

Thats funny right there! repped

 

[PDXFonz]

Cavs just messed up another draft. Wiggins will be great but won't be long. Hopefully him and kyrie are right so kyrie stays.

 

[Hobbesarable]

I think they should keep him and eventually move Waiters to the bench. Perhaps their new coach will also get more out of Bennett.
