You pretty much got 2 worthless picks bro
They got two picks in the 50s.
And pick swap in 2015. Better than losing Deng for nothing. TANK IS ON!
2 2nd round picks and a 1st that will never materialize.Bulls fans want the tank! Jabariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Tank? They can probably still make the playoffs. They just gotta stay above .400
Assets dude was dead set on the Cavs not getting Deng lmao
lol.
Makes a lot of sense for the cavs.
Bulls seemed to be getting short end of this though.

Starting to wonder why the Cavs think struggling for a beat down at the hands of the Heat/Pacers/Raptors is better than another shot at the tank with a competent front office this time. Deng is a great player, but this was a -6 team before the trade.

so basically the Kings have to make the playoffs sometime in the next 3 years for that pick to be cashed in? LOL
Masai got more for Bargs.

They're fools basically run by a panicking clown.
They're desperate to make sure kyrie doesn't leave ala LBJ, and create a stigma about the franchise.
That said, this instantly improves them. Playoffs bound they are.

What are the chances Deng even resigns? Can't this be a half a year rental at this point?
Why resign him they have #1 pick Anthony bennett

It's a bit of a treadmill move all around except for Reinsdorf saving cash. Adding Deng to The Cavs may or may not get them to the playoffs, it's the east and everything but they're as far as away from the worst record int the league as they are from the 8th seed in the playoffs.

Agreed. They should have cut Bynum and let the cards fall as they may with this year's draft. They were/are in good position for a solid pick. Now they spent a few million for a chance at the playoffs and may miss out on talent that could substantially help them going forward.

Those picks suck and we'll never see the Kings pick. This was clearly a tank/cut payroll move. Boozer is a lame duck and he'll be amnestied after the year.
I'm guessing there's a greater than 50% chance Thibs is gone after the season as well now. I hope Paxson and Forman have a plan but I'm really worried they don't.
If Mrotic doesn't come next year and we can't get a big name to play with moody ass Rose, this team is back to basketball hell. I hope that love has told them off the record that he wants to play with Noah and Rose. :/

Wonder if the Bulls trade Noah this season or keep him around. He's a great piece to have.

Reinsdorf still has to fill the seats. That sellout streak ends if Noah gets unloaded. He's young and on a team friendly deal anyways so it wouldn't make sense.
Tanking for another season is definitely the "smart" thing to do if you are the Cavs but honestly I don't think I could take another season of phantom injuries and record losing streaks
At some point you have to build a winning culture around your team and even if it ends with a 0-4 sweep to the Pacers/Heat, at least it gives the players and the fans some hope.

Bulls could have gotten more than two trash picks for Deng. I'm surprised they didn't grab Waiters or something else worthwhile. Just a cheap ass move really, serves the tank and not much else which is fine when you're trading away scrubs but not an allstar wing player. Fuck maybe they'll luck out and draft a top player and they'll be in good shape when Rose comes back(doubt it).
It'd be great if they fuck around and still make the playoffs though in spite of their cheap owner.
Cavs get a player that pushes them over the top....of the lottery teams, they'll grab a playoff spot and get murked in the first round, which is the best they can hope for this season lol. I pray that they get matched up with Miami and LeBron goes in balls deep on them,
I figure that Cousins has to turn into 2001 Shaq for that to happen. Between the Pelicans/Suns/Jazz/other fringe playoff teams a playoff spot will be hard to come by in the west.

Kings will just have to be out of the bottom 10 in '15, '16, or '17. Seems doable to me, they've got good young talent.

Noah isn't going anywhere.

They don't need a playoff spot, they just need to be out of the bottom 10. At this point of the season, they're only 3 games back of 11th worst team in the league. It's doable in the next 3 years.

Whatever happened to that guy?

Luol Deng rejected a 3 year, $30 million extension with Bulls last week, league source tells Yahoo. Turned out to be prelude to trade.
$10m a year for Deng seems really cheap

Lakers lose again. Stuck with Pau, a botched tank, and a fat luxury tax bill :lol
Alright stupid Cavs, time to trade #assets for Asik.
You have to forgive the Lakers. They've never done this tanking thing.

With his injury history, he wants to get paid.
