I didn't want to start a new thread for this idea as it's based mostly on what's already been posted. I don't know if it's a good trade as I'm not good at them. I just wanted to have fun with the trade machine, but I will provide my reasoning behind it if it'll help make any sense. Picks will have to be included so factor in whatever needs to happen.

Cavs:
In: Love, Martin
Out: Clark, Thompson, Waiters, Gee, Miles, picks (I'd say at least top 5 protected being it's most likely multiple picks plus DW and TT are all still within their 3rd and productive)
Wolves:
In: Waiters, Thompson, Clark, Gee, Miles
Out: Love, Martin
Why would Wolves do it:
As previously stated earlier in thread, Love in unhappy in Minny. They aren't going anywhere with him and they are gonna have to figure out what to do cap wise sooner, rather than later. Martin is an effective spot-up shooter, but I included him to make room for Dion, whom I think would fit them well. Thompson would be a so-so PF to try and patch the void from Love, he still has upside but I think it's time he moves on from us. Miles would help give them some bench production plus he's an expiring. Gee and Clark are strictly expirings to them. The picks they gain will help greatly. The move would save them 14 mil in cap after the season just from the players in this trade, giving them about 6-7 mil under cap pending other roster moves
Why we do it:
I know "cap" is a big issue, I'm basing this off of, AV's contract isn't fully guaranteed (?) and we could move Jack to clear his cap space, freeing up money to re-sign Deng or go after another "big time" FA this offseason. Anyway. Martin is a spot up shooter, doesn't command the ball, would think he would fit in well next to a ball dominate PG like KI, his defense isn't great, but neither is what we have now. Love, wow, that would be a coup. Having a stretch 4 to spread the lane with KI, Martin, Deng while AV roams around the rim, gushing right now. We'd be able to push for the playoffs this season. Immediate impact is hoping to impress pending FAs to want to sign here to play with KI and Love.
Lineup:
KI - Jack - Delly
Martin - Karasev - Felix - Delly
Deng - Karasev - Felix
Love - Bennett
AV - Zeller - Sims
I know it's far-fetched. But, Damn that starting unit would be sweet, bench would suck, it does now anyways................
