I don't think whether Roy returns or not will be an impediment to a deal, nor the Wolves lacking a roster spot to make a two for one trade. In the case of the former, Budinger is out long term and Howard is a fringe player at this point, so they could play Shved/Neal at SG and Kirilenko/Roy at SF. Given Roy's declining athleticism and mobility, that might be his best position defensively now anyway. In the case of the latter, even before his latest injury setback, Lee was an easy and obvious cut.
Really, I think it just comes down to whether they see Neal/Bonner as sufficient value. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm thinking they might, for two reasons . . .

"They will move him in a heartbeat if they could," one rival team executive said. "I don't think the coaches are that high on him. You have to get something for him now because the longer he sits, the more people think he can't play."
1. This is the second time in less than a week that it's been inferred that he could be had for relatively little.
2. They're last in 3-point shooting (at a putrid 30%).
