Crazy trade idea

So, it looks like the Cavs have caved in to Minny's demands that Wiggins must be included in a deal. But, by all accounts, the Cavs are looking for established players in the deal. How about a three-way deal:

Cavs get: Kevin Love and Kevin Martin
Minny gets: David Lee, Klay Thompson and Tristan Thompson
GSW gets: Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Anderson Varajao

We get rid of Lee's contract. We get Varajao back who's on an expiring contract. Wiggins who will take Thompson's place (but has even more potential) but we wouldn't have to pay him immediately, and Anthony Bennett.

Would anyone do this?

Sorry, Minny would also have to send Turiaf to the Cavs.

This would give us a lineup of:

Curry
Wiggins
Iguodala
Green
Bogut

with Barnes, Bennett, Varajao, Livingston, Rush, and Ezeli primarily off the bench.

and yes, I'm super bored.

This is a moot point because Lebron specifically named Varejao in his essay. Plus, they have been hanging in Brazil for the world cup. It's sad, but that pretty much makes him untouchable lol.

I would not do this deal because if Klay was involved in the trade, we should be getting back Kevin Love.

If we offered Klay to Minnesota, the Warriors would have already had Kevin Love. I don't trade Klay to get back Wiggins. The Warriors are in a win now mode and Wiggins is not ready to contribute on a significant level.
