If he is good on a decent salary according to his production, they will want assets back. Love would be a perfect example of a good player that doesn't fit his team timeline. No way Cleveland trades him without getting a good young player and at least one first round pick.
Not during the season, but there have been plenty of examples in the offseason in the last few years of teams dumping salary from players to sign their target (players that don't fit their salary timeline). Utah did it with Favors, Baynes from Boston, we got Barnes and Bogut similarly, etc...
