Hey Sam!

Whoever gets Turner is going to be a very lucky team. He is the real deal, and in my opinion, the best player in the draft.

The Sixers have a history of making bad trades, so this doesn't surprise me. If Cleveland had had someone like Turner they would have beaten the Celts. They need a playoff caliber PG, and a reliable rebounder, both of which Turner can do.

Cavs have no picks this year. I wish we could get an NBA coach. I don't know if they've even considered Jeff Van Gundy . Phil Jackson may retire, but I can't see him leaving the Lakers. Doc Rivers may be calling it quits. Looks like Byron Scott if he doesn't go to the Lakers.

A PG that can SHOOT in POST SEASON! And Cavs are also going to need a young center before too much longer. That would be a rare find. I don't know if there's one in this draft that we could trade for.

It's probably way too early to know who will be available, but of the names you mentioned, Byron Scott sounds like a good fit. He can coach up-tempo, or grind-it-out basketball, and he has played in, and taken a team to the Finals with virtually no star power.

Well, that's what I meant. Just being a distributor is not enough. The PG has to be someone who can distribute and shoot under intense pressure. And, as I said before, the Cavs need a reliable rebounder WHO CAN STAY HEALTHY AND OUT OF FOUL TROUBLE!
