The Chicago Bulls have agreed to trade Luol Deng to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Andrew Bynum and a first round pick (the Kings’ pick owned by the Cavs that is top 12 protected this season, top 10 protected the next couple), the teams have announced. This was a story broken by Shams Charania of Real GM and quickly confirmed by Brian Windhorst of ESPN and Aggrey Sam of CSNChicago.com.

 

 

I gotta say it's a huge win for the Cavs. I think that this trade would def make Cleveland a legitimate playoffs team this season if Irving can ever stay healthy.

 

However, Chicago may begin thinking about "tanking"? I dont see Chicago being a contender without Deng, unless Bynum can come in and play huge minutes.

 

The bulls are planning on cutting Bynum, they got rid of Deng because of the luxury tax. It saved them 15 million total on the season.
