Bynum, who

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The risk the Cavaliers took on Andrew Bynum paid off after all. Albert Pujols Cardinals Jersey . Luol Deng is coming to Cleveland. The Cavs acquired Deng, a two-time All-Star small forward, from the Chicago Bulls early Tuesday for Bynum, the enigmatic centre who was signed during the summer and recently dismissed from the team for detrimental conduct. The Bulls are expected to release Bynum, who has chronically bad knees and has played just 24 games the past two seasons. Bynum is due another $6 million on the unique two-year, $24 million contract he signed with Cleveland in July, but the Bulls wont have to pay him if hes released by Tuesday afternoon. With their season uprooted by Derrick Roses injury, the Bulls can save salary-cap space by cutting Bynum. Cleveland also gave Chicago a first-round pick from Sacramento, two second-round selections and gave Chicago the right to swap first-round choices in 2015 if the Cavs are not in the lottery. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert vowed the team would never be in the lottery again after it picked first last year. But at just 11-23, the Cavs are on their way to missing the post-season again. Deng, though, could prevent that. The 10-year veteran brings scoring, defence and leadership to a young Cavs team that never adjusted to Bynum and has been beset by other personality issues in their locker room. General manager Chris Grant was reportedly close to sending Bynum to the Los Angeles Lakers, who need to cut cap space to avoid paying the luxury tax. Unable to strike a deal with the Lakers, Grant turned to the Bulls and wound up with Deng, who is averaging 19 points and 6.9 rebounds. Deng did not receive a contract extension during the off-season and is an unrestricted free agent after this season. But the Cavs hold his Bird Rights and can offer him more money than anyone else. Bynums exit ends a strange sage in Cleveland for the former All-Star, who played seven seasons with the Lakers before he was traded to Philadelphia in 2020. He never played one second for the Sixers and the Cavs were the only team willing to take him on as a free agent. Bynum worked himself back into shape and was on the floor opening night, months earlier than most expected. He showed flashes of being a dominant post player again, but Bynum, who earlier this season said he had lost the joy to play, became increasingly difficult and the Cavs banned him from all team activities on Dec. 28. Although he was not around the team, Bynums peculiar situation hovered over the Cavs, who didnt need any more distractions as they try to re-establish themselves as a relevant team under Mike Brown. The deal for Deng can help them get back on track. Matt Williams Giants Jersey .C. United to a 4-1 victory over short-handed FC Dallas on Saturday night. Wade Boggs Red Sox Jersey .J. -- The New York Giants are not only back in the playoff hunt with a four-game winning streak, theyre calling the plays that get them those wins. SAN DIEGO -- Arizonas Wade Miley was cruising along when one pitch changed his entire outing. Jesus Guzman hit a two-run pinch-hit homer off Miley in the eighth that ignited a six-run inning that gave the San Diego Padres a 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Friday night. Miley (6-2) had dominated the Padres through the first seven innings, allowing just three hits in a 1-1 game. He had yet to walk a batter before the game changed in a hurry. "Mileys pretty good," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "You could tell by the way he was throwing the ball, he was going to be a tough test." The rookie left-hander was in control before Alexi Amarista reached on a one-out bunt single. Guzmans shot on a hanging changeup started the offensive onslaught as San Diego sent 11 batters to the plate in the eighth against three pitchers. Guzmans homer into the left-field stands helped the Padres snap a six-game losing streak ""I thought a changeup was a good pitch," Miley said. "I left it up a little bit and he capitalized. Hes a good hitter." Said Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson: "He just made one mistake. Give him (Miley) credit. The bunt to get on base. Now, you have a situation. He hung a (changeup). "After that it was disappointing." Chris Denorfia singled after Guzmans homer and David Hernandez replaced Miley. Denorfia scored on Cameron Maybins triple. After a walk to Yonder Alonso, Carlos Quentin singled in a run. The Padres loaded the bases and scored two runs on Nick Hundleys sacrifice fly and an error. Miley allowed four runs and six hits in 7 1-3 innings with four strikeouts and no walks as his three-game winning streak was stopped. "I thought I located well," Miley said. "Just that one pitch that got away." Andrew Casshner (3-3) pitched the eighth for San Diego, which was coming off a 1-9 road trip. Billy Butler Royals Jersey. The Padres have worst record in the majors at 18-35. The Diamondbacks went just 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Arizona got on the board in the third inning on Miguel Monteros RBI single that scored Aaron Hill. San Diego evened the score at 1-all in the bottom of the inning after Amarista lined a one-out triple into the left-field corner and scored on pitcher Clayton Richards ground out. Richard allowed one run and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. The lefty struck out three and walked one. The benches and bullpens emptied briefly in the eighth inning after Chris Young drew a two-out walk off Cashner. Young apparently looked toward Cashner after he reached first base. The two started walking toward each other and the benches and bullpens emptied for about 30 seconds before the umpires directed both teams off the field. "(Cashner) asked me what I was looking at," Young said. "I was trying to pick up signs from Matty (third base coach Matt Williams)." Young attempted to steal second base and was thrown out by Hundley. Notes: Diamondbacks 1B Paul Goldschmidt extended his career-best hitting streak to 10 games. ...
