Cavs deal West, Telfair to T'Wolves for Sessions, Hollins

Basketball Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have traded guards Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair to the Minnesota Timberwolves for guard Ramon Sessions, center Ryan Hollins and a 2013 second-round draft pick.

West averaged 8.8 points on 44.5-percent shooting in 60 games (three starts) during the 2009-10 season.

The deal brings Telfair back to Minnesota, the team he played for from 2007-08, when he averaged 9.3 and 9.8 points, respectively, a season. Telfair, was acquired by the Cavaliers on Feb. 17, 2010 from the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team trade.

"I want to thank Ramon and Ryan for their time with us last season," said David Kahn, Timberwolves president of basketball operations. "With the arrivals of Luke Ridnour, Michael Beasley, Nikola Pekovic and the signing of Darko Milicic, it was clear that Ramon and Ryan would have lesser roles this season if they were to remain. This move provides them a better opportunity in Cleveland and adds to our flexibility both this season and beyond in relation to the salary cap."

The 24-year-old Sessions played in all 82 games during the 2009-10 season, averaging 8.2 points on a career-high 45.6 percent shooting. He was a second- round draft pick of Milwaukee in 2007 and spent his first two seasons playing for the Bucks before being signed as a free agent with the Timberwolves.

The 25-year-old Hollins set career bests in nearly every statistical category last season. The 7-foot center averaged 6.1 points on 55.8 percent shooting along with 2.8 rebounds.

"In Ramon, we're excited to add a young, multi-dimensional guard, and with Ryan, we're adding a young, athletic center," Cavs general manager Chris Grant said. "We think both Ramon and Ryan are really good fits for this team. We're also happy to add another asset for the future with the additional draft pick. At the same time, we'd like to thank Sebastian and Delonte and wish them well in the future."
