[Guide] According to the news from American reporter Simmons, if the Cavaliers cannot trade Bynum in the next few hours, they will transfer to Bynum under the contract.
He will also be cut before entering the guarantee, because it can save 6 million salary space.
This also means that Gasol’s situation is basically safe for the time being.
Barnum leaving Cavaliers is a fact
On January 6th, , as the deal between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers ran aground again, barnum’s journey to the Cavaliers could only end here, except that other teams miraculously proposed a buzzer trade.
Bynum was suspended indefinitely due to “behavior that hurt the team”. His annual salary this season is 12.25 million US dollars.
Guarantee, so under the premise that he cannot be traded, the Cavaliers will definitely lay off him before the deadline, so that Cleveland will save $6 million in salary space.
Originally, the Cavaliers hoped to trade him before January 6 in exchange for some valuable bargaining chips to strengthen the team lineup, but they have not been able to find a suitable trading partner.
Regarding the Lakers’ trading plan, the Cavaliers believe that the unilateral loss is relatively large, so they have not reached an agreement.
According to the conversion of American time, there will be less than 6 hours before the end of January 5, which means that the waiting of the Cavaliers has become a bubble.
Unless the Lakers come up with a trade in the next few hours, which they obviously won’t, since Gasol is already in the starting lineup against the Nuggets.
So no matter what, it has become an indisputable fact that Barnum left the Cavaliers. After being waived, Barnum will become a free agent.
He expressed interest.
For Gasol, another protagonist of the trade, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief after the game against the Nuggets is over, because he can finally end the nightmare of trade rumors.
The Cavaliers deal with the Lakers fell through, which means he can return to safety and will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
