In another look into today's Cavs rumors, the Cleveland Cavs may have a prized 76ers point guard in mind when it comes to potentially trading the first overall pick in Thursday's NBA Draft to Philadelphia.
Per Ray Slover of The Sporting News, "the No. 3 is generally seen as a certainty in this package. The Star-Ledger suggests a deal could include forward Thaddeus Young, the No. 10 overall pick or a second-round selection. It also says the Sixers would likely have to accept center Anderson Varejao to balance the deal."
However, the other intriguing name that Slover says the Cavs may have asked about is Carter-Williams.
If the Cavs believe that Kyrie Irving doesn't want to remain in Cleveland long-term, this deal could make some sense. Yet, having two point guards of the caliber of Irving and Carter-Williams could create a logjam in the rotation which might do more harm than help at times.
At the current moment, consider the 22-year-old Carter-Williams a long shot to land in Cleveland. Just don't rule it out.
