Jason Lloyd chimed in on the trade targets.
Below are the Centers he listed that fit inside the trade exception. Doesn't have to be a trade exception I guess. I wonder if a Waiters for Biyombo deal would fly? But then, with the way Biyombo has been playing, it might make sense to just see if the MLE is enough to get him away from Charlotte next summer.

Bismack Biyombo, Hornets, $4.1 million (restricted next summer)
A relative disappointment since being selected seventh overall in 2011, Biyombo is still only 22. Incredibly athletic, but awful offensively. His strengths are supposed to be rebounding and defense, but he has struggled with that this season and can’t find a consistent spot in Steve Clifford’s rotation.
Samuel Dalembert, New York Knicks, $3.9 million (unrestricted)
Dalembert, 33, is an effective rim protector (averages 3.7 blocked shots per 100 possessions) starting for the struggling Knicks. This is his fifth team in as many seasons and he could very well be on the move again at the deadline.
Kosta Koufos, Memphis Grizzlies, $3 million (unrestricted)
Also high on the Cavs’ wish list for big men is Koufos, who is still only 25 and figuring out how to play in the NBA in this his seventh season. But the Grizzlies have the league’s best record right now and have no motivation to trade one of their best reserves.
Timofey Mozgov, $4.65 million ($4.95 million team option 2015-16)
The name that keeps surfacing as a potential rim protector, but the Nuggets still aren’t really interested in moving him. The Cavs are hopeful that changes by February if/when the Nuggets’ playoff odds have faded.
Zaza Pachulia, Milwaukee Bucks $5.2 million ($5.2 million 2015-16)
The Bucks have been an early surprise, but it probably won’t last. Pachulia, 30, has great size (6-foot-11), but has never been considered a great shot blocker or rebounder.
