The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to explore the trade market and are reluctant to deal the Nets' pick they acquired from the Celtics for Kyrie Irving.
Because the pick has great value, it has been difficult for the Cavaliers to find a satisfactory deal involving it.
"I think Cleveland's standard right now on that (Brooklyn) pick is Paul George, who is not available and almost assuredly won't be available this week," said Adrian Wojnarowski on the Lowe Post "Or a really good young player on a rookie contract. Let's say, just hypothetically, a Porzingis, a Booker. But those players aren't available and they don't become available typically.
"So far what has fit the criteria Cleveland has had is not out there for them."
Brooklyn's pick currently projects to be No. 8.
