The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to trade Andrew Bynum and a draft pick to the Chicago Bulls for forward Luol Deng, sources told ESPN.com.
The deal is expected to be completed on Tuesday morning when the teams have a conference call with the league office.
Bynum is expected to be released by 5 p.m. on Tuesday before the second half of his $12.3 million contract becomes guaranteed.
The deal will save the Bulls more than $15 million in salary and luxury taxes, taking them below the salary-cap threshold. In addition, the Cavs will send the Bulls a first-round pick owed to them by the Sacramento Kings that is top-10 protected in the next two drafts.

I see no humor. We now have 3 picks in the first round in the most loaded draft since 2003 and all we had to do was drop the dead fucking weight that shoulda been gone for 2 years now.
Go on Blogabull. Like it was just said, smart fans know this is a smart move. Genius move when you also factor in how much it supports the tank this year.
Plus Melo said he wants out of the Knicks to play for us. This frees up cap space for that to even be a slight possibility now, rather than a nonexistent one.
