Cavaliers' preferred strategy to improve is trade market, not the draft

Mark Duncan/Associated Press file photoDanny Ferry has gotten plenty of advice from fans and media leading up to Thursday's NBA draft.
If the Cavaliers actually make a selection with the No. 19 pick in today's NBA draft, chances are it is as a last resort. This is not to disparage any individual who might be available at that point, for it's possible they'll be able to get a youngster who will develop into a solid NBA player, as Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry likes to say.
But the fact of the matter is the Cavaliers don't have time to wait for a young player to develop. They are a team one year removed from the NBA Finals that came within one quarter of advancing to the Eastern Conference finals and a chance to play for a title for a second straight season.
Say what you will about coach Mike Brown or the offense, but the fact is that for the past two seasons the Cavaliers have been one of the best teams in the NBA, one potentially on the verge of greatness.
