Cleveland Cavs Win The Draft Lottery

Nick Gilbert, 14, center, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, celebrates moments after it was announced that Cleveland won the 2011 NBA basketball draft lottery, Tuesday, May 17, 2011 in Secaucus, N.J. Gilbert was the on-stage representative of the Cavaliers during the announcement.
See Cleveland, LeBron bolting for a better situation in Miami wasn't all bad, now you have the 1st and 4th picks in the 2011 NBA Draft. Now you can get not one, but 2 new franchise players you can fail to effectively build a team around. That would've never happened had LeBron stayed. So what if this is one of the weakest drafts of all-time, you won, take to the streets and celebrate like you would if the Heat got swept by the Bulls. You're welcome.

Anyway, if you were wondering who the Malcolm In The Middle-headed little boy is, no, the Cavs did not auction off a chance to represent the team at the draft lottery to the Make A Wish Foundation. That's actually Dan Gilbert's 14 year-old son, Nick Gilbert. And now that he showed up and won, I'm sure next's draft lottery will look like a Catholic priest's dream.
