And in addition, probably a few first rounders packaged in. You lose those too.

Those rim protecting bigs also tend to cost a lot to acquire or you have to be in position to draft/develop one with is much less likely for the Cavs going forward. Makes that Tristan Thompson pick sting a little more but that is easily offset but the incredible luck of getting two subsequent 1st overall picks.
