The Cleveland Cavaliers, who had the second-best chance of snagging the first overall pick, got the luck of the draw, which means–according to everything I’m seeing, hearing, and reading–they’ll welcome some dude named Kyrie Irving to training camp next fall.

I’m sorry, but could you possibly edit this post to spell “Timberwolves” correctly? It kind of bothers me as I’m a Wolves fan.
Just so you know, that wasn’t my spelling. I copied and pasted that list from some newspaper’s website. Guess I shouldn’t have trusted that a professional writer knows how to spell.
