In that Rodney Hood trade to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly acquired Nik Stauskas, Wade Baldwin IV and second-round picks in both 2021 and 2023, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. This now brings the total number of future draft picks acquired this season by the Cavaliers to seven (six second-round picks & a first-round pick, as was detailed by ESPN’s Bobby Marks).
While the Cavaliers are clearly building for the future by stockpiling draft picks, the addition of Stauskas could be a fresh start for the once-promising lottery pick.
