If he doesn't pan out, year 3 and 4 are not guaranteed.

I'd take definitely take a flyer on Bennett for, say, Steve Novak. Bennett has scary potential; he's been hamstrung and even unintentionally sabotaged by Cleveland's ineptitude. His value is rock-bottom right now so we might as well buy low.

He is getting NO playing time and is playing like crap. Many believe he was rushed back too soon from his injury. And I am positive the Cavs regret picking him #1. How can they not with the way other Rookies are playing?
I am not sure who we have that Cleveland could use and maybe someone here have ideas, however I think Toronto would be a good fit for him. Especially since we are still in need of a long term SF. And we get our very own Canadian 1st round pick.
Just my 2 cents.
On a side note: does anyone else notice there is no symbol for cents on the iPad or the iPhone or am I just missing it?
Him getting picked #1 was a bit ridiculous, even though from a potential perspective he was definitely among the top of the draft class.
There's no good basketball reason to do this. It might've made sense when there was discussion about sending Gay to the Cavs...But as someone else mentioned, at this point the only somewhat worthwhile deal for Toronto would be if the Cavs are willing to take back Fields.
Poor Bennett. The whole situation has just been a mess. He looks bad because he's out of shape...in turn because he was rushed back from an injury and never got the chance to get his legs under him before playing NBA ball. He actually has good pop and speed. He was a ridiculous threat as a face-up PF in college. No PF could stay in front of him when he attacked, and he has the bulk to bang for rebounds.

There have been worse drafts imo.your pal,

I'd totally take a flier on Bennett for the right price. Right now I think it's 50/50 whether he's a bust and a horrible pick, or if he's just been put in an awful situation and is floundering as a still developing, very young basketball player."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
