The Cleveland Cavaliers are evaluating whether to keep or trade the No. 29 overall selection in the upcoming NBA Draft, sources told Hoops Wire.
A league insider said the organization is hesitant to add “another guaranteed salary,” which every first-round pick carries. Late first-round choices seldom deliver immediate production, increasing the likelihood Cleveland could draft a player and quickly deal his rights.
Separately, a marquee transaction disclosed late Monday would ship Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat. Details of the package were not released.
