Timberwolves looking to trade Sessions
After signing Ramon Sessions(notes) to a four-year, $16 million contract a year ago, Minnesota Timberwolves general manager David Kahn is trying to unload the guard to teams able to absorb his salary, league executives told Yahoo! Sports.
“They’re basically looking for a salary dump,” said an executive with a team who spoke to Minnesota. “That won’t be easy.”
Kahn’s plan this time?
Trying to sign point guard Luke Ridnour(notes) to an identical four-year, $16 million contract, league sources said.
Still, Ridenour has shown little interest with the T’wolves, sources said, and seems willing to wait for a more compelling offer. What’s unclear is how this would affect Minnesota with Jonny Flynn(notes) as the starting point guard and the rights to Spain’s Ricky Rubio(notes), who could come to the NBA after the 2010-11 season.
Minnesota has also shown serious interest with free-agent point guard Shaun Livingston(notes), sources said.

So basically the Cavs could essentially get Sessions for Delonte or our TE.. I'd be willing to bet they'd dump him for an expiring (Telfair, Parker, Moon, etc)...
Sessions isn't a bad player but the problem right now is that he's not worth the money he's due because he can't shoot and he's torrid on defense...
