The Cleveland Cavs have traded Andrew Bynum for Luol Deng

[GoldenGlove]

Joakim next?

I'd say Taj would be next

 

[GzUp]

And the scary thing is that Bynum ain't even gotta do shyt

Just be present on the court, grab some rebounds get a couple of put backs and blocks

This tanking shyt has to stop. Adam Silver is going to have to do something to stop all these teams trying to tank. It's bad for the league.

Our starting 5 consisted of 4 D-League nikkas when we got Barnes. Steph was injured, Lee was injured and Klay was a rookie and we had just traded Monta for Bogut. We had no shot at making the playoffs when the tanking began.

 

[Snitchin Splatter]

So we're supposed to pay the tax and Bynum 6.5M just so the Heat don't sign him?

y'all weren't doing anything regardless of any moves you made for this year or next. So instead of helping out public enemy #1 of the league and your supposed biggest rival who you've never beat more than once in the playoffs suck it up and don't help the rich get richer.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

What if we're trading pieces away to gain something for someone that was gonna walk and leave us with nothing

Deng wanted more than we were willing to give him why we didn't come to an agreement on an extension.

I posted a podcast in the Bulls thread a few hours ago in which one of our beat reporters says that his guess was that Deng was gonna walk and the organization felt the same way.

So we're supposed to just let dude walk and get nothing in return?

I totally agree. I wasn't singling the Bulls out I just despise the tanking when you have a shot at being competitive.

Yet y'all tanked to guarantee a top 7 pick. You coulda finished better. Like you just said, you traded Monta "Allen Iverson" Ellis for Bogut who barely played. They coulda tried, which is basically what you're saying about Chicago right now. Don't dodge it. It was convenient for y'all. It's convenient for the Bulls.

For every squad that's "tanking" there's a squad that didn't think they had a chance in hell of getting in that may get in. I'm sure and Cho are LOVING the tanking in the East right about now

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

I'm all for tanking if you have no shot at making the playoffs. If you do then try to win.

This gotta be the most RANDOM ass trade we seen in a minute. Cavs lost, Lakers lost, Bulls won big time gotdamn.

Man I know it's not likely but if Jabari were to SOMEHOW land in Chicago that shyt would be HUGE.

 

[the cool]

luol deng is so average brehs, why is this even thread worthy

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

This isn't a bad move from the Cavs. Dependent on what value is for Deng on the market in the summer, they could re-sign him. Certainly a step in the right direction rather than the fruitless expedition of wasting picks on players that'll never pan out.

Sorry breh, he's Clipper or Heat bound more than likely.

that's the inherent problem with teams "tanking." No one's looking to tank to get a pick somewhere in the top 7 (unless you're the Warriors ) You want #1.

If there's 8 squads tanking, the team that's slated to get Noah Vonleh is gonna wonder why they wasted their time.
