"In exchange for Deng, the Cavs send Chicago Bynum, Cleveland’s right to the Sacramento King’s first round draft pick conveyed in a June 30, 2011 deal, the right for Chicago to swap its own 2015 first round draft pick with the Cavs own 2015 first round draft pick (only in the case that the Cleveland 2015 first round draft pick is between 15 and 30) and the Portland Trail Blazer’s 2015 and 2016 second round draft picks acquired from the Trail Blazers via 2013 draft night trade."

I don't like it. Not at all.

Edit: The picks we gave up make the deal pretty good, but I really wanted a lottery pick in the 2014 draft. Can't help but feel like that's a pipe dream at this point.

!!!!!!! Hope we didnt give up many assets.

 

[Nightperson]

Inb4 we find out we got trade raped.

 

[JDeezy]

Good trade.

 

[melecoaze]

We gave up two seconds, Sac's first rounder and right to swap 1st round from 2015 (lottery protected)

 

[Triplethreat]

UN F****ING REAL!!!!!!

 

[supermario21]

Great trade. That SAC pick was going to amount to nothing but hot garbage the way that team is now, and 2nd rounders are disposable.

Damn...

Also, go fuck yourselves, Los Angeles.

 

[melecoaze]

bad news is earl clark is still on the team

Bulls are at home, any chance we can play Deng tomorrow?

 

[KI4MVP]

bad news is earl clark is still on the team

he'll be fine in backup minutes against backup players and not on the court with the game on the line.

 

[Pioneer10]

Can we keep him and sign Lebron in the off-season?

A starting lineup of AV, Deng, Lebron, Waiters, and Irving would be pretty damn tough

 

[Cavatt]

Only thing I don't like is the swap. Hopefully we will be good and it wont be important by then.
