2013 – Have the right to swap lowest (closest to 30) first-rounder with Los Angeles Lakers (Ramon Sessions), although if Lakers are a lottery team it goes to the Phoenix Suns. The Cavaliers can swap either their own pick or the Miami/Sacramento with the Lakers. If the Lakers make the postseason, it would be probably be the Miami pick to Cleveland.

2014 – Owed second-rounder from Memphis Grizzlies (D.J. Kennedy).
