Cavs acquire Deng for Bynum, picks

The Cleveland Cavaliers traded Andrew Bynum and three draft picks to the Chicago Bulls in return for All-Star Luol Deng. Along with Bynum, who had recently been suspended indefinitely by the Cavaliers for conduct detrimental to the team, the Cavaliers also sent the Bulls a first-round pick and two second-round picks. They gave Chicago the right to swap first-round choices in 2015 if the Cavs are not in the lottery.

Deng, a member of the 2012 British Olympic basketball team, has been an All-Star the last two seasons.

He will be a free agent after this season, and with the Bulls’ championship aspirations gone following Derrick Rose’s season-ending knee injury, there was no reason to hold onto him and risk losing him for nothing.

Deng is averaging a career-best 19 points this season and has been a member of the NBA’s All-Defensive team.
