Next problem, what salary will the Bulls be taking in return then?

Of course they would, but not at the expense of a first round pick, certainly not this year.
Well not the Raps in particular but just teams like the Cavs who have done enough tanking and are looking to get into the playoffs no matter what. We've heard reports of them wanting Deng and they know they can't just throw us some garbage and get a all star. Im not so sure they care all that much about their pick this year. You might say why give something when you could sign him in FA but if you get him now you have a higher chance of keeping him because he would be adjusted to playing with that team and you have time to entice him to stay.
I just don't want the Bulls getting cheated. We have the tools to make a rebuild look like a retool. If we could just get one more 1st round pick this year for deng and the Bobcats play well then we would have 3 picks in the 11- 20 range of a deep draft. With the Bulls knack for drafting talent we would be definitely be grabbing a future all star or starter out of those 3. With Nikola coming over and having a core group of veterans with Derrick ,Jimmy, and Noah we could find ourselves back in contention sooner than most.
That's the dream scenario, but I just don't see any GM trading their 2014 first round pick for Deng. Hope i'm wrong, hope the Bulls actually doing it (I think they would jump at the chance if given) but I just don't see it happening.

Its hard to believe anyone would give up a pick in this draft but it can happen. The bulls are not a organization that accepts being shortchanged by other teams. With that said Cavs have been taking for 3 consecutive years and have shown interest in trying to actually win now that they have their franchise player. They would be more than willing to give up a pick this year for the right price and I think Deng is worth that price to them.
The cavs aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer so I think we could take advantage of that and the fact that they have been wanting one our guys for years now.

relying on GM's to be dumb is not really a good philosophy.

It's unlikely that Deng would want to play in Cleveland. Very unlikely. Why would Cleveland give up a 1st for a rental that most likely will want to play in a better situation? Cleveland could just go after him in free agency.

Trading for him this early would give cleveland time to convince him to stay and show him that the team is on the verge of making the playoffs. We've seen this in the past with Iggy. Denver could have just waited for him but instead they traded for him so its not impossible to want to trade for an expiring. Plus what else does Cleveland have to offer us other than that pick.

They're 4-10, they're not on the verge of the playoffs.
Deng picks his destiny. Being one of the better players in free agency do you really in your right mind think Cleveland is an option?

I think Deng is going to take the highest offer he gets. Like 90% of free agents.

I also think many teams will trade for Deng after they put a lottery protection of Top 5 or 6.

That puts them a whopping 1.5 games out of the current 8th seed.
And yeah, I actually do think Cleveland is somewhere Deng should consider.
