Rumors…they are all that is left for 28 of the 30 teams in the NBA.  Outside of the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, the rest of the league is surrounded by rumors. Some are bound to be true, while many are smokescreens from front offices who are desperately trying to keep their secrets to themselves.

The Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves in exactly this situation. From the draft to potential trades to management decisions and coaching possibilities, the Cavaliers may have more rumors surrounding them than any other team in the league.

And that’s exactly what makes this time of year so exciting: the rumors.

This past week was full of them, and as with everything the team does at the moment, it all seems to come back to the 2014 NBA Draft in one way or another.

Assuming that Wednesday’s workout with Joel Embiid was positive, what options are or could be available to them?
