All three contracts are not-guaranteed, so this is likely a deal to help us facilitate something for Kevin Love or somebody else.

We trade the non-guaranteed guys to Minny to make the $ right them Minny cuts them? Is that how this works?
 
Knew something was about to go down today. Woj's earlier tweet about the Cavs wanting to acquire non-guaranteed players would have been too random otherwise
 
When's the press conference??? :chuckles:
 
I don't know if it is even worth putting these guys on the roster page---

You will probably measure their time with the Cavaliers with a stopwatch rather than days...

Exactly. Griffin knows if he's going to trade for Love he can't trade away all of our depth just to make the trade work salary wise. This was done explicitly to allow us to give up less meaningful talent.
 
You're forgetting the most interesting tidbit here: instead of acquiring a guy with two first names, we acquired THREE. Six first names. That's not an easy feat.

Waiting for the "Griffin got fleeced" crowd to roll in
 
The only contract that helps us is the Lucas contract. League minimum deals don't count for matching purposes. I think they used their remaining space to acquire Lucas. I believe the Cavs really want Thomas. Murphy may have been signed with cap space, so he may work in a trade of some kind.
 
Damn I'm gonna miss Felix...but to be honest, he wasn't going to see any time here anyways.
