The Cleveland Cavaliers tried trading all their draft picks to New Orleans to get the No. 1 pick. The Hornets would respond with a quick, “NO!” Now the Cavs are looking to do the same with No. 2 pick, which is held by the Charlotte Bobcats.
Anybody is a good option here with Thomas Robinson, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or Bradley Beal. The Cavs’ main targets are Beal and MKG, who could fall at the No. 4 pick to them. However, if Charlotte decides to go with MKG and Wizards with Beal, Cleveland could find themselves in a hole.
To ensure nothing goes wrong, the Cavaliers are looking to offer their No.4, 24 and 34th picks to the Bobcats for the No. 2 pick. Tweets John Telich:

It’s 50-50 here. The Bobcats do like trading down and have hinted at it. However, there are rumors that they’re pursuing more towards Harrison Barnes and Thomas Robinson, which leaves the Cavs taking the players they like.
We’ll see what happens, but I don’t think the trade will happen.
