Timberwolves Hint at Trading Mo Williams to Cleveland

[DMAVS41]

Either Thompson or Varajao will be moved to make salaries work. The Cavs simply don't have the contracts to move for a player like Love. If the Wolves want to move Love and Martin? That's at least $23m in contracts (assuming Love doesn't get a raise with his extension).

Biggest Cavs contracts not including LeBron or Irving are;

Varejao - $9m
Bennett - $5m
Thompson - $5m
Wiggins - $5m
Waiters - $4m



Not a lot ways to get to $23m with those contracts.

Well, for starters, those values you list are wrong. Also, they don't have to match dollar for dollar.

And there could be a third team involved and we don't know if Martin is involved. But lets say that the Wolves want both Barea and Martin moved.

Here is a trade that works just fine;

Cavs get - Love/Dieng

Sixers get - Martin/Barea//First round pick from Cavs

Wolves get - Wiggins/Bennett/Thad Young...and John Lucas/Murphy (likely to be dumped)
