Some of the players in this year's draft seem like they would bust if they get put on poorly run teams (like Embiid if he got drafted by Cleveland) but Wiggins seems like the type that is going to work his ass off regardless of where he plays. Jabari even tanked his workout just so he wouldn't have to play for Cavs... someone with that mentality is the last thing a team that's been through the hardships like Cleveland needs.
Kyrie probably ain't signing an extension though.

I get not wanting to play in Cleveland, but is Milwaukee that much better?

Milwaukee isn't an ideal place to live in if you're a young millionaire but at least it's not a dump like Cleveland. Plus it was closer to Jabari's hometown.
I think in this case, it wasn't all about the city though. Bucks and Cavs are both pitiful franchises, but Cavs just come off as more shameless and desperate. Nobody wants to play for them.
They need to give cities like San Diego and Seattle basketball teams.

Yeah, I've never actually been to either, just kinda going off perception and what I've heard. But I feel like Cleveland is at least a pretty good basketball town as far as the fanbase, seems like the Bucks haven't been relevant the last few decades. But yeah, you don't have to convince me that a team should be in Seattle instead of a lot of other "NBA cities" lol

Cleveland for sure is a good basketball town; they're a good sports town in general. Their fans are the most loyal fans ever.
I think the problem is the combination of living in the city and then the franchise itself. Dan Gilbert is a fucking child, and the front office just has no dignity. And Cleveland is depressing. The Knicks' management is just as poorly run and shameless as the Cavs are, but at least you get to live in a nice city lol.
PLANT:
He will take the cavs back to the playoffs, become an all star and then leave the cavs for Toronto when his deal is done

I always find it funny when people trash Cleveland. I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio (Akron-Cleveland). And I find that most people talking trash have never even been there. Just saying....
