Update: Here are the two prospects the Cavs drafted in the second-round after trading Jones
Tyus Jones, expected to go a lot higher than No. 24 in the 2015 NBA Draft, was (briefly) on the Cavs. The Timberwolves made a deal for the former Duke point guard, sending two second-round picks to Cleveland (No. 31 and 36):

Here’s what the Cavs got in return:

Not a bad deal for Cleveland stocking up picks (reportedly also received a second-round in 2019). Meanwhile, Jones is headed home to Minnesota to play his professional ball.
