Nuggets Warming to Mozgov Trade to Cavs?

The Cavs apparently are still trying to pry center Timofy Mozgov from the Nuggets. They now have another protected first-round draft pick (from the Thunder), to go with their protected first-rounder from the Memphis Grizzlies. The Cavs seem to believe they can turn at least one (with other stuff) into a rim-protecting big man, and they seem to believe they can do it soon.

It seems the Movgoz situation is improving for the Cavs. A deal doesn’t seem close by any means, but I’m told at least the Cavs are no longer receiving a “flat no” from the Nuggets.
