Love draft day during an expedited offseason
Despite a weaker-than-usual draft class and lingering questions about many of the top prospects, there’s plenty of interest in the fifth spot. Sources tell cleveland.com the Cavs have had trade talks with the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons.
The Knicks are in the eighth slot. They’ve reportedly made a move with the Utah Jazz already. In that deal, first reported by ESPN, the Knicks dealt No. 27 and No. 38 to move up four spots into Utah’s old position at 23rd overall. It’s small move, but one that strengthens their chances of moving up from No. 8.
New York, with a revamped front office that includes former Cavaliers salary cap guru Brock Aller, has a few pieces that could be enticing. Would the Knicks offer some combination of 8, 23 and a young player (Kevin Knox? Mitchell Robinson?) for Cleveland’s fifth pick -- and a chance to draft Brooklyn native Obi Toppin? Sources pointed to Toppin as New York’s trade-up target. Others in the five range -- Tyrese Haliburton or Isaac Okoro -- make sense as well.
Aller is the Knicks Vice President of Basketball and Strategic Planning. He is the top assistant to Knicks President Leon Rose, who had previously been an high-powered agent at CAA -- the same agency that currently represents Toppin
Edit: I’m dumbfounded. If the Knicks wanted Toppin and the Cavs wanted Okoro, the Cavs could have gotten an asset out of us. Knicks new regime holding strong ?
Anyone else surprised ? Okoro 5 Toppin 8 yet no trade ... KNICKS ARE BACK BABY

There's no way the Knicks are trading Robinson to move up three spots.
*Fixed for you.

Obviously not. We could have had (and can still have) #2 for Mitch and #8.
Also, did you have to quote me? You’re already making my thread look long & annoying

Cavs is in a "add real talent to cheap contracts" moment and wants trade #5? weird

No one said they want to trade #5. Would be incompetent to not talk to teams and see if you couldn't get a great package for the pick. Nothing wrong with window shopping.

I think a CLE BOS trade is the likely scenario
Hayward 14
for
Drummond 5
If I'm BOS I'd ask for Cedi back as well and throw in one of the lower picks

This is poor direction wise for the Cavs, i can see them doing it.

That's terrible for the Cavs. If anything the Celtics should be sending the assets here.

Hayward isn't opting in to be sent to Cleveland.

If Toppin is NYK's guy I think they should avoid dealing Robinson. They'll need a strong defensive center next to Toppin.

Nothing a Knicks fan can relate to more than self loathing

I'd go with Deni avdija unless theirs another young player they can get with a lower pick.
