As JAF mentioned, the Wolves will likely do another trade after the Love deal goes through...
Philly, Denver and Sacramento all have PFs signed for more than one year that might be interested in expiring contracts.
I wonder what Elton Brand is up to?
The third team isn't for Cleveland's benefit...
Both Minnesota and Cleveland are (were) searching for a third team so Minnesota could offload some contracts and/or acquire a starting PF. Cleveland isn't getting any value out of a third team being involved other than keeping a Puerto Rican hobbit off their roster.
JAF must be a genius. He's speaking the obvious.
Philly's not trading Young for expirings and expirings only. Denver's not trading Faried for expirings and Hickson isn't even worth making a phone call about. Sac-Town doesn't have a starting caliber PF. Remember they tried to trade the No. 8 pick in the draft for one? They can keep Landry at $6.5M per. Flip would stay away from him anyways.
What is Elton Brand doing? Hopefully turning in his retirement forms. He's old, out of shape and useless in the NBA. I don't think he'd get minutes over Hummel at this stage of his career.
