Cavaliers Get the 1st and 4th Pick

This is a dream come true for the Cavaliers.  The pick that was traded to the Cavaliers in the Clippers Baron Davis for Mo Williams trade.  This leaves the Cavaliers with an interesting decision.  Who goes number one?  This is obviously a time to rebuild.  Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert doesn't take on Baron Davis' contract if he didn't want another pick, and it worked out.  ESPN's Jay Bilas is calling for Kyrie Irving.  I think it might be short sided.

The Cavaliers should also take into consideration what to get with the number 4 pick.  If the Cavaliers take Kyrie Irving, the draft can really fall off at the number 4 spot pretty quickly.  However, if the Cavaliers take Derrick Williams at the Small Forward out of Arizona, then options stay very open.  With both Kemba Walker and 18 year old Brandon Knight at the 4 and 5 spots in the draft, the Cavaliers could leave with a couple of potential starters.  I think the pair of Kemba Walker and Derrick Williams will work out better than the pair of Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leonard.

Karma shines on Cleveland.
