According to Joe Vardon of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Cavaliers had an opportunity to trade with the Atlanta Hawks for an opportunity to draft Luka Doncic on draft night that would have included Kent Bazemore. While no further details were provided in Vardon’s recap other than the Cavs being pretty excited and concentrated on Collin Sexton with the 8th pick (who is averaging more points per game than anyone drafted ahead of him), it’s hard to judge the Cavs on if it was a “good or bad” move without knowing all the details considering the Mavericks did have to give up an extra lightly protected first-rounder to trade up from 5 to 3.
