How would folks feel about this trade idea:

The deal is Martin and Dieng for Ayres, Beli, a first-rounder and maybe the rights to a non-LJC or Bertans prospect.
Seems far-fetched, because Minny is giving better players, including Dieng, who looks like a great center prospect. But the Spurs would be eating more than $20 Million over the next three years, and one or two assets should be more than enough to off-set the talent disparity in light of that.
If the Wolves insist, then Turiaf could be subs uted for Dieng. But in that case, Daye would have to be added, and I wouldn't want the team to give up a pick. Such a deal essentially closes the cap-space route next summer, so the team can't afford to give up picks for nothing.
