Not a Cavs fan, but odds they make a serious run at Bynum (assuming he’s healthy) and draft Noel? This would give them one proven NBA big, who obviously has health concerns, but is the second best center in the league. Noel has all the makings of an NBA big, but he has health issues of his own. These two players could really help the Cavs going forward. Interesting to see what they do.
I’ll probably be publishing our Cavs Offseason Outlook piece later this week, and considering all the cap space and all the picks they have, I’m having a hard time predicting what they’ll do this summer (and next). Given all the assets and options they have, they’ll definitely be one of the most fascinating teams to watch over the next few months.
