I don't see a lot of fit/need at the moment, nor do I see a decent straight-up trade option that would satisfy both teams.
There's two ways I could see it working:
1) Multi-team trade, where spare parts are sent out to a contender (ie: Hansborough & Novak) and perhaps a future 1st round pick goes to Cleveland (ie: lower of TOR / NY/DEN 2016 pick), with Bennett coming to Toronto to be a backup PF.
2) Part of a much larger trade, which is one of multiple deals being made. For example, Hansborough would be sent out in trade #1. Then trade #2 is something like DeRozan & OKC's 2014 2nd round pick to Cleveland for Bennett & Waiters/Karasev & 1st round pick.
Bottom line is I don't see these two teams matching up, but anything can happen.
I really don't like giving DeRozan up for such questionable prospect(s) and such an unknown pick. If DeRozan were to be traded, I'd much prefer it to be on draft night for a known high pick and/or a much more surefire prospect than any Cleveland can offer.
