Rumor: Cleveland Cavaliers Trading No. 3 Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers ended up with the #3 pick at this years NBA draft and while the top five picks are loaded with game changing talent, reports have surfaced the team is looking into moving the pick.

#Cavs are expected to be ‘very aggressive’ in looking for potential trades with their No. 3 overall pick 👀

They are reportedly looking to acquire a veteran and “accelerate the rebuild.”

Considering how bad the Cavs were last season, is this really the right move? The team finished 22-50 and is no where near contending in the eastern conference, so it's a bit shocking to hear they would walk away from a top-3 pick.

You can't blame them for exploring trade options though, as some team might overpay to get into the top-3. With the Cavs having Collin Sexton, Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen to build around, maybe management is hoping if they move the pick, they can package Kevin Love in the deal and get rid of his massive contract.

There's usually a method to the madness and this offseason is expected to get pretty crazy for the Cavaliers.
