You could probably say the same thing about KD. He missed 9 games his sophomore season. Other than that, he's been just as durable as LeBron.

HuskyCaucasian Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Crackpot idea... Should the Bulls trade for Andrew Bynum knowing his contract expires after next season.

The same Andrew Bynum that was suspended indefinitely by the Cavs for conduct detrimental to his team? The same guy that f***ed over the 76ers last season? The same guy with knees like a geriatric and motivation that matches? Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 28, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) He is signed through 2014-2015. It would make no sense to trade Boozer for him as Boozer can be Amnestied this offseason. The Bulls could potentially come up with some savings long-term by moving Noah for him or a combination of Gibson + Dunleavy, but that only would make sense if the Bulls got something additional back like a draft pick to make it worth doing so as the Bulls would be sending along a much better player.

What about Deng? And can they waive him and still amnesty boozer? I dunno how that stuff works... Please trade Deng :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno how that stuff works... Please trade Deng :/ I didn't even consider Deng because Deng expires this year and Bynum doesn't. That's just foolish. You'd need a top 5 pick in return along with Bynum to make that worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would still eat every cent of cap space the Bulls could have next offseason and possibly make it impossible to bring Mirotic over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an article on espn that says he's only owed 6 million if he's waived before January something so the Bulls could potentially save a bunch but unfortunately they lack the astuteness or foresight to trade Deng.

ZoomSlowik Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Bynum's contract is only partially guaranteed, so he can be waived at several different points over the next two years without using the amnesty clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was extended after the new CBA went into place, hence the "Derrick Rose Rule". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The Cavs also have had separate discussions with the Chicago Bulls about a Bynum trade for Luol Deng, according to sources. The Bulls are in a similar position as the Lakers, about $8 million into the luxury tax and dealing with an injury-marred season. Deng, like Gasol, is a free agent-to-be, and such a trade-and-waive deal with Bynum also could save the Bulls in excess of $20 million in salary and taxes this season. However, the Bulls have maintained that they do not want to trade Deng and believe they will be able to re-sign him after the season. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10220178...rew-bynum-trade Sigh.

I wasnt in favor of the trade when I thought they had to hold on to the cancer that is Bynum, but if they can shed Deng, AND waive Bynum to save 12.5 million, I am all for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
