Your ideal offseason plan

Let's put together some dream offseasons for the Cavs where everything goes right. Let's keep things based in reality-- no winning the lottery (or seeing top 5 talent sliding to pick 14). It's important to answer the following questions:
1. Who do the Cavs pick at #14 (or do they trade the pick)? Do they try to fit an immediate need?
2. Who do the Cavs pick with the SAS 2nd?
3. Who do the Cavs pick with the Miami 2nd?
4. Do the Cavs re-sign Sexton? If so, for how much/how long?
5. Are any players on the roster getting traded? If so, what's the return?
6. Who's the backup PG? Who's the 3rd string? (I.e. who is in Rajon Rondo and Brandon Goodwin's roster spots?)
7. Who's the backup C? Who's the 3rd string? (I.e. who is in Ed Davis and Moses Brown's roster spots?)
My quick, ready-to-change-at-any-moment take:
1. Tari Eason falls to 14, the Cavs draft him to be their SF of the future.
2. Take Oscar Tshiebwe out of Kentucky to be at the back end of the big man rotation.
3. Take Andrew Nembhard out of Gonzaga to be at the back end of the big man rotation.
4. Yes-- 3 years, $60m. TO for a fourth year.
5. Cedi Osman is the odd man out, San Antonio or OKC takes him into cap space for a future 2nd as an expiring deal.
6. Ricky Rubio returns on a deal left open with Cedi's cap savings, Cavs have Andrew Nembhard on a two-way, while Sexton fills minutes as well while Rubio rehabs.
7. Mobley is the typical backup with Tshiebwe as backup. Moses Brown returns as well, and looks slightly better after learning the team offensive and defensive concepts.
