Deng to Cavs for Bynum and picks

Tough call, but as a Bulls fan, it needed to be done. As said before, Deng had stalled negotiations and wanted more...he had to go. Bulls will be miles under the cap, and now get to see Snell develop into their new 3 man.

Pity though as they were just making a push in the seedings.

Waive Boozehound, bring over Mirotic, healthy Rose and here we go..

Great deal for the Cavs, they will definitely make the playoffs now I think. Deng is perfect for them

Sacramento pick is top 12 protected, so they most likely won't get it. It's basically a salary dump and the Cavs got Deng for 2 2nd rounders

Good for Delly as Cavs instantly become a playoff team with Deng.

6th seed is not out of the question even with the slow start such is the East.

As a Bulls fan I'm sad to see Deng go as he is a genuine pro and he has been a really good player for a long time.

That said trading him was absolutely the right move. He was never going to resign for what the Bulls would be willing to pay, so rather than losing him for nothing they've pushed themselves close to under the Tax threshold (because they will amnesty Bynum - he won't play a game for the club), and gained cap flexibility and future assets for this offseason.

I could even see them trying to dump Dunleavy for expiring scrubs or a 2nd round pick.

As for Noah, yeah he's not going anywhere. One of the best 5s in the league on a bargain contract..

I expect the Bulls will now build around their core of Noah, Butler, Gibson and (hopefully) Rose with Nikola Mirotic from Europe, hopefully a high pick (make no mistake, the Bulls will stink without Deng), and a midround pick from the Bobcats.

Bulls would never amnesty Noah.

Long-term: these moves should be beneficial. Right now I'm feeling for Bulls fans, though.
