Couple of (related) things. First, the fact that the Bulls made a bad trade doesn’t mean that the Cavs have to do the same. Second, the Bulls and the Cavs are not in the same boat. Chicago was going nowhere; with Butler wanting out, they had no real choice but to trade him. Cleveland is the favorite in the East, and they know they’re probably losing LeBron next year. They have far more incentive to just tell Irving to suck it up and deal for one more year before tearing everything down next summer.
