Cavs Win Lottery Again! Will They Draft Andrew Wiggins? NBA Scout Zak Baris Joins Brian Engelman

May 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes Zak Baris to talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers who just won the NBA draft lottery for the second time in 2 years, & the third time in 4 years.

Will this be enough to get the Cavs back into the playoffs?
Will the Cavs make a trade with the Timberwolves to acquire Kevin Love?
Will the Cavs pick Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker, or Andrew Wiggins?
Will the new pick encourage Kyrie Irving to sign an extension this Summer?
Will all of this help lure coach Cal to run the Cavs?

Also,….Can you remember why all Cavs fans should be thankful to Clippers owner Donald Sterling?

Plus,….as people begin to wonder if the NBA lottery is rigged, it would be a good time to wonder if Michael Jordan was quietly banned from the NBA in 1993 because of a reckless gambling addiction?

& Much More.
