WWCD: What will Cleveland Do? Or what Will Chris Do? Chris being Chris Grant, the GM of the Cleveland Cavaliers as they head into the 2013 draft with the No. 1 pick. The Cavs are working the phones trying to trade the pick, but their asking price sems to high. So if they keep the pick, what will they do? We have been saying for 10 days at SheridanHoops that they will select Alex Len of Maryland. Here is an explanation why he
As the NBA Draft approaches, the Cavs are still actively trying to trade the 1st overall pick, Washington seems determined to take Anthony Bennett of UNLV at No. 3 — which has led Charlotte to shop Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to make room for Otto Porter.

Since when do we hear about teams offering up draft picks to acquire a head coach? Strangely, that’s what has been happening with Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, who has been all over the rumor mill as of late due to his tenuous situation with the team.
