Let’s start with Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins and second-round pick traded for Sebsation Telfar and Delonte West from the Cleveland Cavs.

This rumor was been going on for a long time, and it came true.  The deal ultimately is a move to free up even more cap space as West will likely be cut as his contract is guaranteed with only $500K of West’s $4.6M salary is guaranteed if waived by August 5.  And I can not see any reason to make a move for a player you previously had on the roster unless the Wolves move Telfar.

I will get into my feelings about David Kahn and his moves in another post, but I am started to get a little worried.

Even more so now that Jonny Flynn is going to be out 3-4 months after having hip surgery! Awesome.  In one day the Wolves go for having three point guards to one.  Wow.  Welcome to Minnesota Luke Ridnour!

The only piece which is obviously positive, is Kevin Love remaining on the Team USA roster.  To get the roster down to 15 players, the team cut OJ Mayo, Gerald Wallace, JaVale McGee, and Tyreke Evans.

Here is your current roster

• Guards: Chauncey Billups, Stephen Curry, Eric Gordon, Rajon Rondo, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook
• Forwards: Kevin Durant, Lamar Odom, Rudy Gay, Danny Granger, Jeff Green, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Love
• Centers: Tyson Chandler, Brook Lopez

The roster will be trimmed down by three more spots prior to the the tournament on August 28th.   If I had to guess, and I don’t, but I will – I would say Green, Gay and Gordon are the most likely to get cut.  It has nothing to do with the fact their names all start with G.

Iguodala seems like a possibility to get cut as well as.   Gordon is a better shooter,  and I can not see them keeping both Gay and Iguodala. Too similar and AI is a better defender.

According to multiple league sources, the Cavs have entered advanced talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves for guard Ramon Sessions. It is likely a deal will involve Delonte West, who has been shopped by the team for the last several months because his contract is not guaranteed for next season — which makes him an attractive asset.

There is a chance there would be other players involved. One player the Cavs have had interest in is Timberwolves center Ryan Hollins.

There are a couple reason the Wolves make this move.  First, the just signed Luke Ridnour to the exact same deal as Sessions.  Secondly, it is my belief the Wolves wanted to move Sessions to give Ricky Rubio an indirect boost in confidence about his playing time.  Lastly, only $500K of West’s $4.6M salary is guaranteed if waived by August 5th.  Which would free-up even more cap space for the Wolves.

Cap Space Side-Note:  It kind of makes me nervous the Wolves are willing to sell off players for cap space.  This could be very good or very bad.  Makes you wonder if or who they are targeting for next off-season.

I would prefer to keep Hollins than send him as part of this deal.  He is big and athletic.  The Wolves need to use Hollins like the Hornets used Tyson Chandler.  Just ask him to defend and dunk all-oops.  That’s it!
