Yahoo! Sports reports the Timberwolves are trying to trade point guard Ramon Sessions and replace him with free agent Luke Ridnour.

According to an unnamed executive who has spoken with the Wolves, "They’re basically looking for a salary dump."

"That won’t be easy," the executive is quoted as saying.

Sessions has three years remaining on a four-year, $16 million contract. Yahoo! reports Wolves GM David Kahn wants to move Sessions and use the money to sign Ridnour, who does not appear to be interested in coming to Minnesota.

Kahn also is looking hard at free agent Shaun Livingston, sources tell Yahoo!. The Wolves already are famously deep at the point with starter Jonny Flynn, Sessions and Spanish guard Ricky Rubio.

Kahn is showing again that he is a big nerd. Sessions is way better then Ridnour in every aspect of the game, except shooting.

If the trade for Rudy Fernandez is legit then Kahn would have to be all over it. People in the FO last year were talking how Kahn only signed Sessions in order to flip him at some point down the road so if this is the opportunity to do the flip than that will have been a great move by Kahn.

Hasn't Rudy already stated that he is not interested in playing in Minnesota?

When and where did he say that? I don't think I've heard that before...

UPDATE: Looks like Ridnour may indeed sign with the Wolves, despite the current logjam.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports tweets on Tuesday that he's "close to accepting" the aforementioned four-year, $16-million offer.

If that's the case, and Sessions is indeed on the trade block now, as mentioned below, keep an eye on Indiana for him.

As we noted on Monday, the Pacers are still looking for a point guard and it'll likely come via a trade.

Last week, we wondered why free-agent PG Luke Ridnour had met with the Timberwolves.

After all, the team has Jonny Flynn and Ramon Sessions. It's possible Spaniard Ricky Rubio could play for the team in the near future, as well.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports provided some more clarity on the subject on Sunday.

He reports that GM David Kahn is "trying to unload [Sessions] to teams able to absorb his salary, league executives told Yahoo! Sports."

The plan would then be to sign Ridnour to an identical four-year, $16 million deal, according to Wojnarowski.

Wojnarowski also writes that Ridnour "has shown little interest" in Minnesota, so the team could also target Shaun Livingston, whom they've also shown interest in.

So Count the Pacers in as a potential landing place for Sessions...Anything of use from Indiana or are we probably looking at expiring contracts or a pick?

The Rogue Trader is at it again! Let's tell the world we're looking to trade Sessions for just a salary dump!

Can you imagine what type of phone bill Kahn has racked up this offseason? Taylor would have been better off flying in the other 29 GM's and just have Kahn run an auction.

Next item up for bids... Ramon Sessions!

Do I hear one late 1st round pick? One pick? One pick?

Ok how 'bout one 2nd rounder and some cap space?

Ok Larry Bird has made his bid! Going once... Going twice...

Rick Bonnell's reporting Charlotte will sign Shaun Livingston. There goes Sessions-to-Cats possibility. #Timberwolves
