This. Though let me change something. Irving and Thompson have been tremendous. Thompson has gone under the radar, but he has quietly become a superstar. In recent games, he's averaging about 16 points and 10 boards a game. Waiters... I don't know. I sure hope the pick works out because I'm really not a fan. I worry that he and Kyrie don't complement each other very well.
The Cavs are in a great place. They need more consistency out of Waiters or any shooting Guard. From there, you draft a good starting Small Forward or Center and spend the massive cap space to grab a legit Center, and this becomes one hell of a team with a great starting lineup, a superstar closer, and surprising bench depth.
