Stein: Cavs-Nuggets in "advanced discussions" about Mozgov trade.

[Endless Paradise]

ESPN sources say tell @WindhorstESPN and I that Cavs are in advanced discussions to acquire Timofey Mozgov from Denver

ESPN sources say Cavs are prepared to surrender at least one first-round pick and additional trade assets to Denver for Mozgov

Update:

Deal sending Timofey Mozgov from Denver to Cleveland, I'm told, is on course to be completed as soon as today

I wonder what "additional trade assets" Cleveland has on the table?

[Endless Paradise]

Memphis and OKC draft picks, their own.

Update to Cavs story w/ @Brian Windhorst: Cavs will send TWO future firsts to Denver for Mozgov

Desperation.  Mozgov isn't that good.

[Lucky17]

Memphis and OKC draft picks, their own.

I thought CLE's pick was already owned by another team?

If Denver can get two 1sts for Mozgov, kudos to them.

[Donoghus]

I like this deal better for CLE than the 3 way one from the other day.  This certainly helps them in the front court. 

It'll be interesting to see the price paid.

Good move for the Cavs. Mozgov gives them physical presence in the paint defensively.

He provides toughness inside though, but I agree that Mozgov isn't that good considering his questionable Basketball IQ.

You're correct, my mistake.

Agreed.  Guessing there's a premium since he's locked into a long-ish contract (as opposed to reaching free agency soon).

The Bulls can swap their '15 pick with Cleveland's, but the Cavs will still have one.

Ouch.  That is steep.  Good for Denver.

[Endless Paradise]

Woj reporting it is indeed the OKC and Memphis picks.

I assume you believe Mozgov is good, though not that, i.e. two first-round picks, good.

Despite the overpay, Mozgov is a tremendous addition to that team. Cavs can also probably afford to overpay after being the clear winners in the recent 3-team trade. It's a win-now move, and I like it for them. If you're going to give up Wiggins for Love, you have to be willing to give up a little extra in draft considerations to complete the puzzle. Otherwise, if the plan is to be patient for a couple of years, I don't see why they didn't just keep Wiggins. If they can bring on Dalembert or trade for Wright using their TPE and two 2nds, I love their team.

Irving/Shumpert
Mike Miller/JR Smith
LBJ/Marion
Love/T. Thompson
Mozgov/Dalembert or Wright

That's quite a ballclub.

Done deal according to Wojo.  2 firsts for Mozgov

[rondohondo]

So Rondo can only get 1 late first round pick , but Mozgov can get 2?

Wow good to know the cba is helping teams keep their good players.....
