Cleveland Trades Andrew Bynum to Chicago Bulls

The Cleveland Cavaliers have managed to unload disgruntled center Andrew Bynum before having to guarantee his contract.

The Cavs have shipped Bynum and three future draft picks to the Chicago Bulls for All-Star forward Luol Deng (LOO'-ul dehng). The trade comes just days after Bynum was suspended by the Cavaliers.

Deng is a two-time All-Star who is averaging 19 points, seven rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this season.

Bynum has averaged 8.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 20 minutes per game after missing all of last season with a knee injury. He was suspended by the team on Dec. 28 for conduct detrimental to the team.
