I get it, but 1st off Aldrich doesn't get you mo, Mike and a prospect. He's a good 3rd or 4th big man, not more.
2ND with Rubio and Dunn, why would MN even want Williams. Or for that matter dunleavy?
Those are vets that need to go to contenders.
Hill and a 2nd for next year's 1st and the rights to pointer. That's the deal to make.

Aldrich seemed respectable last season in LA haven't followed him this year. He got probably a little inflated contract at around 7m annually so I guess this would just be a salary dump for Twolves. I find it funny that a bunch of these proposed salary dump trades are of people who were just recently signed.

@ jaw. He's played alright this year. At 7 mill for a 3rd big he's a pretty good bargain considering. I just don't think he gets you two veterans and a prospect. Plus I'd rather keep him and move Jordan Hill.

Aldrich was considered one of the best free agent signings of 2016. Some teams paid twice this much, on longer deals, for comparabl players.

If CLE wanted to get rid of Mo Williams and Chris Anderson, who are done for the year, they should comsider using MIN's extra cap space. I worked out a deal elsewhere, where it cost the, their 2019 and 2021 sexond rounders, plus their remaining $1.5 mil in cash, and it saves them $11.8 mil with lux taxes, and gives the, TPE's for the two players. And it would be free for Min who is under the salary floor.
