    The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired Chicago Bulls restricted free-agent forward Lauri Markkanen on a four-year, $67 million contract as part of a three-team, sign-and-trade agreement, sources told ESPN on Friday.

    The Cavaliers are sending forward Larry Nance Jr. to the Portland Trail Blazers and a 2023 second-round draft pick via the Denver Nuggets to Chicago in the trade, sources said.

    Portland trades forward Derrick Jones Jr. and a lottery-protected 2022 first-round pick to Chicago, sources said.

    Yet another good trade by AKME!!!

    Derrick Jones Jr is on an expiring cotract for 20 mill which is almost what the Bulls would had to pay from the player option they picked.

    We get a first round pick next summer, gives us 2 that summer and added a second round pick

    I think injuries and Boylen messed his mind up!
