Several teams, including the Cavaliers, are reportedly looking into a trade for the No. 1 pick, and Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com has some details about the potential price tag on such a move.
Cleveland would send out their No. 3 overall pick in addition to another asset, similarly to how the Sixers traded up for Markelle Fultz back in 2017, as a rival executive explained to Fedor. Philly dealt Boston it’s No. 3 overall pick that year (ended up being Jayson Tatum) in addition to a future first-round for the rights to move to No. 1.
It’s possible that Detroit would be interested in one of the Cavs’ young prospects rather than a future first-rounder. The executive mentioned Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, and Isaac Okoro as possibilities.

It’s “smokescreen season” and the reports of many teams interested in trading up to No. 1 could be just that. However, Fedor adds that Cleveland is “definitely looking into it.”
Cade Cunningham is presumably the target for Cleveland. Other prospects on the Cavs’ draft radar include G League guard Jalen Green, USC center Evan Mobley, Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs and G League forward Jonathan Kuminga.
