The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired Chicago swing man Luol Deng from the Bulls in exchange for Andrew Bynum and three future draft picks.

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

The Cavs sport some pretty nice guards in Kyrie Irving, Dion Dion Waiters and Deng. Here’s how the whole trade, which includes a lot of shuffling, breaks down:
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 a 2013 draft night trade.
