2018 NBA Draft: 5 lottery teams with the most at stake
By Max Holm
3. Cleveland Cavaliers
While the Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t in the lottery by their own accord, they have one of the biggest summers ahead. Two straight Finals losses means LeBron James may finally leave again for good.
With so much money tied to Kevin Love, George Hill, Tristan Thompson and more, they really need this pick to work out. The question is, what do they do here?
The most obvious answer seems to be draft the best player available. That way he can either help LeBron or start the new wave.
With that being said though, the Cavaliers may consider shopping that eighth overall pick to try and bring a second star to town to convince James to stay. Who they pick or what they do here is one of the most important picks in the draft.
