NBA trade rumor: Lakers and Bulls lining up to trade for cap relief trade with Cavs

By Jeff Clark  @celticsblog on Dec 31 2013, 6:08a +

USA TODAY Sports

Everyone wants to trade for Andrew Bynum ...just to waive him.


The Cavs have been fielding calls about Andrew Bynum from several teams. Notably the Lakers and Bulls. Not because either team is actually interested in the 7 footer's services on the court. They want to trade for him so they can waive him.

Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers talk Pau Gasol-Andrew Bynum trade - ESPN


By trading Gasol in a package for Bynum and then waiving him, the injury-ravaged Lakers could save more than $20 million in salaries and luxury taxes, which could help them maintain financial flexibility heading into the next few summers. A Gasol-Bynum trade would have to include at least one other player and perhaps other assets from Cleveland.

The Cavs also have had separate discussions with the Chicago Bulls on 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.

What we have been missing this year is a strong man and when we look up to paul gasol he play rubbish. Seriously we need a strong man that wants to look for the ball like baynum and someone who will dominate. I really do say go for baynum or even kevin love. i mean why not?

Bynum with his Knees made of egg shells and glass is a perfect addition. Maybe we can get a Laker Warball team for 2014.

Video: Sixers’ Evan Turner apologizes to Lakers after unnecessary last-second dunk
BEN GOLLIVER, EVAN TURNER, LOS ANGELES LAKERS, PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
BY BEN GOLLIVER

Sixers guard Evan Turner had to apologize to the Lakers after throwing down a spinning windmill dunk during the closing seconds of Philadelphia’s 111-104 road victory on Sunday.

Turner’s exclamation point slam was a sight to behold, but it was also a clear late-game etiquette violation, and the fourth-year guard went out of his way to make amends to multiple Lakers who seemed miffed by the unnecessary dunk.

With just five seconds remaining and the Sixers leading 109-104, Philadelphia cleared a defensive rebound and it was time to run out the clock. Turner had a different plan, though, sprinting out into the open court as the Lakers prepared to walk off the court. Approaching the paint with no defenders around him, Turner launched into a 360 windmill dunk that went home with just 0.8 seconds remaining. The slam gave Philadelphia a seven-point lead.

That was a nice gesture.
