The Cleveland Cavs have traded Andrew Bynum for Luol Deng

SF....that was a typo.

I was about to say I love post players as much as anyone, had me thinking you wanted that long coveted 4 PF and 1 PG starting 5.

I knew once I typed that on accident you would clown. My edit was not quick enough.

 

[jwinfield]

it's because you have these delusional Bulls fans who don't know shyt about basketballl

So you're cool with giving Deng the 15-16M he wants?

 

[7oclock]

It's a good move, but you might be pushing it a bit by taking Deng over Hayward/Turner, they are both younger than him and all 3 will probably get the same money while those 2 other guys have been much more durable than him.

I could give you Turner , although they play totally different and Deng obviously is a better defender

but Hayward??? Hayward is not better nor is the gap close between him and Deng. Deng is only 28 too

he didn't want 15-16M

muthafukkas are going to these great extremes to make it seem like this was a good deal.

Deng wanted something closer to Iggy and Josh SMiths contract - probably could have been had for 12-14 m. And Yes I would ahve gladly paid that for 3 years.

And Hayward is 23.

Deng has had a ton of injuries throughout his career and is coming off a spinal tap. It's a good move, but if they have to sign him for 4-5 years, the other two players are better options just because of age.

Good trade for the Bulls... they'll be back with a couple draftees and Derrick Rose next year.

dude, a ton of injuries??? Look at his games played and MPG, there's nothing outside of a few small injuries over a 10 year career - he plays and plays lots of minutes. spinal tap is not a lingering injury. HE's a better player than Hayward by far...

A few small injuries? Excluding the shortened season, he misses 13 games a year, and him being better than Hayward right now doesn't mean he'll be better than him 3 years from now when he's about to turn 32, and Hayward is turning 27.

You think he's going to get more durable the older he gets? He's going to want 4-5 years from the Cavs, and they will more than likely overpay/over extend to keep him.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Id think the Sixers would resign Turner no? they hardly have any money on their books

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

thats because hes probably not gonna resign with them so if he plays well all hes gonna do is ruin their draft position

How you know that, idiot?

You internet lames and your speculative bullsh*t is so very tiring. Can't just yall sports anymore. Every fukka wanna project their opinion like it's fact even at the expense if basic logic.

 

[DoubleJ13]

Jimmy Butler is about to average 48 mpg

 

[Microfracture]

Do we know for sure Deng is 28??

What does Hayward have to do with this trade?

In three years, Deng will be 31 for 80% of that season. His game is not predicated on athleticism. So what's your point?

Dude said he'd rather have Deng over Hayward and Turner, and I said that was pushing it considering age and the contracts they will be signing + years.

I even said it was a good move to pick up Deng, but long term he is not a better option than either of those guys.
