Isn't one of the reasons we can't get Love is because Minny doesn't want Sully?

There is no way in h - e double hockey sticks that they trade their young rim protecting prospect whos killin' it in training camp for Sully.

I think people should give up on trade proposals that have the Wolves giving up Dieng.

So the rumor is that the TWolves want to move Martin's $18M/3yr deal and Barrea's $4M expiring along with Love. I worked for about 20 minutes on the trade machine to figure out a way to work that out.

For the purposes of this exercise you can either assume that the Cavs are moving Thompson or you can assume, as I am doing, that contract is a stand-in for Wiggins. Either way it's pretty close.

That would be the player transaction. Boston would get the 2015 MIA pick that Cleveland owns. Philly would get back the rights to their 1st rounder (likely 2nds) from us.

I think it works for all teams. We take on one bad contract in Martin in order to get Waiters and a 1st round pick likely in the teens.

Cleveland starts:

Irving
???
James
Love
Varejao

With Haywood, Thompson, Miller and Jones coming off the bench. They would need to get a startin SG but someone like Ray Allen, Shannon Brown or Dahntay Jones should come cheap.

Minnesota gets salary relief, a guy with huge upside in Wiggins and a project in Bennett as well as dumping 10M in salaries. This is seriously a best case scenario for them.

Philly uses some of their cap space to collect assets and create more cap room next season. Not sure they will do this but there are a few teams with cap space to absorb Bass. He might also fetch something around the trade deadline.

Boston does it to set up for a bigger move. We get another 1st round pick, a young, talented kid in Waiters and an expiring deal in Barea. I know Martin is a bad contract but that is a lot of value for taking him. He's also not a bad player, just overpaid.
