In this scenario, the Cavs will add another rebuilding pick alongside the 8th pick to build for the post-LeBron era. A potential trade partner could be the 76ers in exchange for possibly the 10th pick and Covington. With another lottery pick the Cavs could select a scoring young small forward such as Kevin Knox, Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges, or even pick up Sexton with that pick and get someone else with the 8th to create a nice young core.

Cleveland will have the most work to do this offseason as they need to prepare for a future without LeBron. It is a difficult spot to be in but the team is bad and they need help.
