The way I see it now, only two things happen for Cleveland.
1. Lebron leaves them and they KEEP the pick (#8)
2. Cavaliers trade the pick + pieces to acquire another star to pair with Lebron (and Love?)
I don't think there's a scenario where they keep Lebron AND the pick. Don't think Bron Bron wants to bring in a young prospect when he wants to "win now". He'll want that pick traded for some star.
OR... if CLE wins it all, then maybe it doesn't matter lol
I don't see the #8 pick plus any of the junk they have on the roster getting them a star.
Who knows, maybe a team like Washington or Portland is desperate and they flip McCollum or Beal to CLE for the BKN Pick + Clarkson, Nance and a bad contract?
I could see that happening. The writing is on the wall for both teams. The thing is Lillard, and Wall are premier point guards, and the more superior talent. You have to keep them over these two right? Use McCollm or Beal as grade A trade bait.
Harder to just blow it all up, because Lillard and Wall I think got special skill.
I think they are also the players who need great talent beside them.
