<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> All has been quiet on the Cavaliers' front this off-season, even as free-agent movement and blockbuster trades take place across the league. The lack of noise doesn't mean the reigning Eastern Conference champions have been inactive in this off-season, though. The Cavaliers were one of a handful of teams that tried to get in on the Kevin Garnett Sweepstakes, an NBA source said, even in the hours before Minnesota finalized the mega-deal that sent Garnett to Boston. Cleveland, Chicago, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers all tried to wedge into the trade with serious offers, the source said, but no team could compete with the Celtics' offer that included potential in Al Jefferson, salary-cap relief in Theo Ratliff's expiring contract and a possible lottery draft pick. </div> Source: Cleveland Plains Dealer

Probably Anderson Varejao(?) or Gibson?</div> They would probably needed to send a package with Larry Hughes or Ilgauskas heading to Minnesota just to match salaries. In all likelyhood they probably needed a 3rd team to facilitate a deal, because outside of LeBron, I don't think most of their players have much value around the league.
