| Can the Cavs find help at 19?

Instant help.
Every NBA team wants it. They look for it in the draft. They seek it out in a trade. And every once in a while, a team gets lucky and finds it.
Two trades in just more than a month last summer transformed the Boston Celtics from awful to NBA champions.
"That'll be the standard everyone is looking at," Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry said.
Can the Cavs be that team this summer? Their fans hope so. Reality, though, makes it look unlikely, which doesn't mean the Cavs think all is lost as they head into Thursday's NBA Draft.
Barring any late developments, the Cavs will pick 19th. They believe they can find a good player.
"This is a very deep draft," Ferry said. "There's a lot of guys who will be NBA players."
But an instant contributor every night at 19? Probably not.
That leaves fans dreaming of a big trade to land an All-Star to play alongside LeBron James.
