The Cavaliers hold the No. 29 overall pick in the NBA Draft. There’s already talk that they don’t want to hold it.
That would make sense. As one league source told Hoops Wire, “Last thing Cleveland needs is another guaranteed salary.”
Now, that may not be an issue if the Cavs were drafting in the lottery. But historically, finding immediate help at No. 29 requires a whole lot of luck.
But you do have to pay an immediate salary. Hence, the Cavs’ supposed efforts to draft someone, then trade him.
Speaking of trades, we did have a biggie revealed late Monday. It will send Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat. So, what to make it?
Well, I discussed all that and with Andy Baskin and Jeff Phelps on 92.3 The Fan. You can watch the full interview below.
