The Bulls have traded former Blue Devil Luol Deng to the Cavaliersfor Andrew Bynum and some draft picks. This works out well for everyone except Bynum, who will be quickly waived: The Bulls won't worry about Deng leaving for free agency without getting something back (cap room and picks); the Cavs get to end the Bynum experiment and pick up a still productive small forward.
