They aren't getting shyt and they are going to lose LeBron.
Should have used that pick to get Black and get rid of dead weight contracts.

What do you mean?

Like @jaguar paw said, they should keep both picks

They’re 5 games from being in the lottery
You said they should keep both picks...yet they need a big man. Big men are slim pickings as is. The one scenario with the most noise is getting DeAndre and the Clippers aren't giving up DeAndre without one of those 2 picks.

Deandre can bounce this summer

Why trade a pick for a guy who may be a rental? Cavs have to think long term. Their bench needs youth.

Because you're gunning for title #2 right now. There is no young rim protector with 2+ years left on his deal on the market and none in free agency unless the Jazz say fukk 8-10th place we're tanking.

He at least gives us a Kyrie type scorer, we could play him at point and create the same matchup problems
Scoring is not the issue...I was saying this when everyone kept clamoring for Love for Melo. Cleveland scored 125 points and still lost by 25 a couple of weeks ago. They do not need another "Kyrie type scorer". They need someone to bother Steph or Klay (or Kyrie because right now I have Boston beating the Cavs) or challenge drivers at the rim. CJ helps them score 130 to give up 135 every night.

Deandre ain’t bringing them the chip

They need a rim protector but no one on that roster outside like 2 guys can stay in front of their man

Like I said, there's no one on the market, that really goes for the athletic 6'5"/6'6" 3&D SG type also. So it sounds like no trade will be made, LeBron leaves and the picks get kept anyway :manny:

You aren’t going to bother them without players that can score. Any purely defensive player we get they’ll take them right out the series by not guarding them. We can’t go into a series with IT he’s just to small and not good enough against the Warriors. CJ has killed the Warriors often. We need a CJ and more.
