Once again, lady luck was on the Cleveland Cavaliers side in the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery. No, the Cavs did not come away with the ultimate prize — the number one pick and Cade Cunningham. However, they did sneak into the top three, and will select third in July’s 2021 NBA Draft. The Detroit Pistons won the first overall pick, and the second pick stayed in Houston with the Rockets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the NBA Draft Lottery have a love/hate relationship. Some NBA fans would say Cleveland can never complain about the NBA Draft Lottery results, as they landed their hometown hero in 2003.

In this certain scenario, the Cavaliers land the number one pick once again. Let’s take a look at the Cavs options, if they are lucky enough to land the top spot. Assuming the…

NBA fans around the country knew that after LeBron left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second time, it would be a long road ahead for Dan Gilbert and company. It didn’t help much that Kyrie Irving basically held his knee hostage and forced his way out of town. However, when Irving was traded to the Celtics, the prize of their trade package was a top-10 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. With that pick, the Cavs drafted Collin Sexton, a 6-1 point guard from Alabama. Sexton had an impressive rookie year, making the all-rookie NBA second team. However, in the…
