Here's Adrian Wojanarowski of Yahoo! Sports with the lowdown:

With talks now over with the 76ers, the Cavs are now set to keep their #1 selection - however, who they're going to choose is still up in the air:
Barring an 11th hour offer, Cleveland plans to keep No. 1 pick and choose between Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, source tells Yahoo.

With Cleveland remaining at the top of the draft, this could set off a series of trades underneath them as picks 2-5 could now hold added value due to scarcity.
