That's a pretty strong rumor that Cleveland is going to give Atlanta the #5 pick and their first round pick next year if we'll take Kevin Love.

Technically, we already have their first round pick, but it has so many protections that we'll never get it. Cleveland's apparently willing to get rid of them to avoid the luxury tax.
