T-wolves beat writer Jerry Zgoda did a Q&A on Twitter late last night. Nothing groundbreaking, but he did make the following points relevant to the Love trade:
-- Implied that Love was the only player being sent to Cleveland.
-- Cavs sending out Wiggins, Bennett, and Miami pick.
-- Very likely that it will be a 3 team deal with Philly involved.
(Minny will get Thad Young and keep Bennett, and send out the Miami pick and various expirings, probably Shved and Mbah a Moute, to Philly.)
-- Reminder that before the trade, Minny has 15 guaranteed contracts, and trade will send out Love and likely 2 expirings to Philly, with Young, Wiggins, and Bennett coming back, leaving them at a roster of 15. But Minny also wants to sign second round pick Glenn Robinson. So they will have to clear another contract. Zgoda thinks they will be able to do so, but offered no ideas as to how.
-- Ronny Turiaf was not mentioned as a player that they would like to move, or at least be willing to move, to clear the roster spot -- Mbah a Moute, Shved, Barea, and even Shabazz, Budinger, and K-Martin were all mentioned.
Quite a bit more on the T-wolves. Personally, I will be glad when this trade is finally over and I no longer have to follow these Minnesota reporters.
