The Obi Toppin-to-Cleveland Cavaliers chatter is not going away.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are slated to have the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, which is going to finally commence on Nov. 18.

In the general sense, too, the Wine and Gold are not exactly loaded with impact defenders, particularly on the wing.
