I can't believe they have the NBA draft so soon after the finals.

    Four days after the finals and the Cavs have to figure out what they're doing for next year already.

    Nba tries hard to stay in the headlines. Draft. The best is the free agents that are all locked up but we wait 2 weeks to make it official in case anyone forgot. Then we hear about the next schedule and those vaunted Christmas games. Then they will make a couple of rule changes to keep interest. Personally I don't watch 1 game till playoffs. Bet them all though.

            Cav's won't be doing shit tomorrow night. They gave up all their draft picks this year and most for the next 4/5 years. Free agency or bust for Cleveland who is in win now mode.

              i like it this way tho the draft is garbage now, its just speculation the days of locks are over even # 1 is 50-50 to be good

              would you rather they wait 5 months spread it out over 5 days of primetime drawn ouit coverage like the nfl? not me

                    But there's still decisions to be made as a result of other teams in the draft. Other teams may want Cavs players in order to make moves.

                      That's because the playoffs are ridiculously long.

                        The GM and his staff have been prepping for draft and offseason for some time now. They already have their plans for everything. As long as Lebron re-ups for another year, they are straight.

                        Why do people(aside from participants)even watch the drafts of any sport? Just get the results after it is over.

                          They expected a sweep in the Finals. That's why is so close.

                              because they used to be entertaining and over in a couple hours. now its drawn out and shit players across the board for the most part with all the early entries.

                                      Detroit is my sleeper team in the East. If Drummond can work on his damn free throws, they are going to be a serious threat with Van Gundy at the wheel. I'll be taking a large futures bet on them.

                                          What do you pay for a season ticket in that location? In Houston, one seat will cost you about $43k in the same location. It's freakin insane and they sell them too.

                                            To win the East and the NBA title. The odds will be high enough that if they just make the playoffs, you can start hedging on series to a tidy profit.

                                              I guess this is all about publicity. They don't want the spotlight shun away from them.
