If LeBron James had a choice between keeping the Brooklyn Nets' pick acquired in the Kyrie Irving trade or trading it for a win-now piece, he might have tipped his hand Thursday.
"It might not even be that good of a pick," James told Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon.
The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired the Nets' unprotected first-round pick, Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and a second-round pick from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Irving in August. Crowder has been the only on-court asset thus far, with Thomas out until at least January and Zizic not part of the rotation.
