As the Minnesota Timberwolves look to clear up more cap space and shore up some of their remaining holes, a Cole Aldrich trade has become a popular idea.
He appears to be the easiest remaining player to trade as Minnesota continues their roster overhaul this summer.
Aldrich is set to make $7,300,000 during the 2017-18 season and $6,956,021 in 2018-19 (most of which is non-guaranteed).
The cap figure is the biggest barrier to any trade involving the Bloomington, MN product. Not many teams have salary cap space remaining after last year’s summer spending spree.
The limited money means limited partners for Tom Thibodeau and Scott Layden.
