Ramon. Sessions and Hollins dealt to the Cavs Dinner.

The Timberwolves' already svelte payroll grew slimmer still Monday gloaming when the rig traded protector Ramon Sessions, center Ryan Hollins and a 2013 second-round preference to Cleveland for the contracts of Delonte West and old Wolves picket Sebastian Telfair. Shortly after the Wolves traded away one of their three thought guards, Yahoo! Sports reported that Jonny Flynn --who started 81 of 82 games as a rookie newest time -- will difficulty surgery to state a informed wrong and will mistake the next three to four months. A Wolves spokesman said he couldn't endorse that Flynn will shortage surgery, but that schedule would cause him to absent oneself from training set and dialect mayhap the first month of the season.

Neither West nor Telfair tenable will part of for the Wolves. They almost certainly will swallow West out of the unconsumed $4.6 million year hand on his contract for $500,000 by an Aug. 5 deadline.

Telfair presumably will be traded or bought out of the unused $2.7 million owed for the conclusive season of a three-year condense former Wolves manage Kevin McHale signed him to two years ago this month. By making Monday's deal, Wolves run David Kahn traded away two players he signed behind summer to multiyear contracts. Last July, Kahn signed Hollins away from Dallas to a three-year, $7 million proposition contour sheet that Mavericks holder Mark Cuban pondered for about two seconds before he assertive not to match. Little more than a month later, Kahn signed Sessions to a four-year, $16 million undertake only hours after frame cream Ricky Rubio asseverative to stoppage in Spain for at least two more seasons.

Sessions, 24, played a career-low 21.1 minutes a ready hindmost season, when he backed up Flynn at period protection all year. He was one of only two Timberwolves who played in every game. He became unessential when the Wolves signed long-serving spot defence Luke Ridnour to a four-year, $16 million understanding form week, a deal almost duplicate to the one Sessions signed survive September.

The Wolves undoubtedly take a fancy to Ridnour over Sessions because he's a better shooter, a better prepared for their triangle offense and because, at length of existence 29, he's a mature who is four years older than the team's at one time oldest player, Hollins. Telfair has been traded twice in insufficient more than a year since Kahn sent Telfair and Craig Smith to the Los Angeles Clippers matrix summer. Monday's relocate trims about an additional $3 million off a payroll that still is well below the $43 million-plus conspire minimum, a beginning Kahn in week said the set will not have suffering reaching by next season.

The Wolves now are at least $20 million under the $58 million income lid set for the 2010-11 season. Expect them to to a battle-scarred free-agent sharp end sentry to a one-year slightest deal as their next move. Players such as Earl Watson, Earl Boykins, Rafer Alston or Anthony Johnson well that profile.
