Its going to be hard for Cleveland to come out of this with a lottery pick. It's protected very well.
The pick Memphis sends to Cleveland is protected 1-5 and 15-30 in 2015 and 2016; 1-5 protected in 2017 and 2018; unprotected in 2019.
Either the Cavs will get a lottery pick in 2015 or 2016 (6-14) or they will get a pick in the 6-30 range in 2017 or 2018. If that doesn't happen, they get whatever their pick is in 2019.
Calling it a lottery pick was a stretch. That was wrong of me. But there's certainly potential for it to happen there.
