TRADE: Cavs trade Andrew Bynum, picks to Bulls for Luol Deng

[ProfessorMurder]

The 3/30 offer was above market value

Larry Sanders signed 4/44 and Deng is better than him.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I do too

I genuinely hope good things for your franchise, I'm happy we both got what we wanted out of it.

It's a rare occasion you get to say pleasure doing business with you when it comes to a trade but both teams benefit here for sure.

would be amazing if Bulls somehow got Jabari Parker

[shaq2000]

Assuming Bynum is included in the deal...if he can get his head straight and buy into Chicago's system, this will be an awesome deal for Chicago

The Bulls will be promptly waiving Bynum's ass on Tuesday. Trust me.

Since when did trading what will equate to 3 second round picks (Sac pick will never be given they're not gonna be out of the lottery the next 2 years) become getting fleeced? Deng is a superior player to Gasol and we have nothing at the 3 while being overstocked in the 4/5 department

well that's for drafting bennett .. you would have a real 3 of that pick was someone else or if what traded...

i dont know maybe the bulls can get the #1 pick again...

[KyrieTheFuture]

What does deng do you beyond this season? Do you
Resign a 30 year old deng to the 3/38 deal he wants?

Where does the team go with deng on It this year?

I don't see any value? Let's say you
Win 6 more games -- what difference does It make ?

Okay what would Pau or Jefferson do? Even less. Yea okay that's a real fair comparison I was unaware that second round picks could net you the first pick in the draft.

Edit: How do people lack such basic understanding of basketball that Sac pick has fairly heavy protections on it and the swap is lottery protected.

You have consider age and position

22 year old promising center v
30 year old swing man

Potential has a lot of value in the nba -- especially with big men ( darko , asik, James jones , etc)

Fingers crossed he stays with you guys and accepts 8-10 mill.

I think he's the type of guy that would. He would see a future with the cavs and their talent.

[DMAVS41]

Great for Cavs if they can sign Deng to a good deal in offseason.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

CBS reporting it's the kings heavily protected pick (this year) and 2 2nd rounders. And the right to swap 1sts in 2015. I was worried for the cabs when I saw 3 future picks but that's not too bad.

[postmupndunkit]

When people are saying we are cheap, they are talking about how the organisation annually stays under the salary cap except the last few years. But yes, you are right in that aspect. We do pay for the good players, when it is required.

We don't know for sure if the they won't be first round picks -- I can easily see Cleveland sneaking into the playoffs @ bottom seed now with Chicago dismantling

[VIntageNOvel]

kings gonna make playoff next year book it,
cousin is just too good

[poido123]

I should be more specific sometimes. That goes without saying, we were winning titles then, it made sense to go over the cap.

Yeah, it's a shame.
