Most interesting general scenarios to me:
-Does Brooklyn want to part with Lopez for salary relief and draft picks? Would that interest the Cavs considering is current contract?
-Mavs selling #13.
-If the Cavs can acquire the #13, can we turn some combo of draft picks and/or players to get another top 5 pick? The Wizards were rumored to be interested in moving their pick, but the lottery may have changed that.
To me, the best part of winning the lotto is how it gives us so much versatility after the 1st pick, especially with regards to prospects who happen to fall on draft day. It may be 51/49, but Noel is the consensus best prospect in the draft. If a Len, Gobert, Adams, or the like falls to a later Cavs pick, they can now pick that player with the confidence that they can turn Noel into someone like Porter, Dipo, etc.
I just don't see the same options presenting themselves if we'd been forced into someone like Porter.
Mods, please feel free to move if you consider this redundant.
