The Chicago Bulls have traded forward Luol Deng to the Cleveland Cavaliers for center Andrew Bynum, three future draft picks and the right to swap 2015 first-round picks with the Cavaliers.
The deal marks the end of Bynum's short tenure with the Cavaliers and Deng's nine-plus seasons with Bulls.
It was no secret the Cavaliers wanted to part ways with Bynum, who did not work out. Cleveland recently suspended him for conduct detrimental to the team, and general manager Chris Grant worked the phones in recent weeks trying to trade Bynum before his $12 million contract became fully guaranteed this week.
The Bulls were conflicted on what to do with Deng. He's in the final year of his contract and will become a free agent after the season. Chicago has always liked what Deng provides - solid offense and defense - and while the Bulls front office executives believed they could re-sign him after the season, it wasn't a guarantee. So they made the trade now - swapping Deng for Bynum.
