The Mavericks are among eight teams interested in signing Andrew Bynum once he clears waivers, according to ESPN's Marc Stein. The Mavs can only offer Bynum a minimum contract, however, and money will reportedly be a "prime factor" when he decides where to sign. Fantasy owners should know to avoid him after he averaged 8.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 20 minutes per game with Cleveland this season, while shooting a career-low 41.9 percent from the field.

Bulls waive C Andrew Bynum. Chicago made it official on Tuesday afternoon, hours before Bynum's contract would have become guaranteed for the season. The move gets them under the luxury-tax threshold. Bynum is sure to draw interest from contending teams looking to beef up their frontcourt, though no team is likely to pick up his contract off waivers.

Andrew Bynum and several draft picks were traded to the Bulls for Luol Deng early on Tuesday morning. Bynum is expected to quickly be waived so the Bulls won't have to pay his remaining $6.3 million 2013-14 salary and he'll become a free agent. His knees, attitude and passion for basketball (or reported lack thereof) leave his NBA future quite cloudy, but you can bet a contender will probably take a flier on him once the waivers process starts.

The Lakers and Cavaliers have not found "common ground" in talks about a Pau Gasol-for-Andrew Bynum trade, but the teams are expected to continue discussions until Monday. The clock is ticking for any deal since the Lakers would require both players to clear physicals in time for Bynum to be waived before his deal is guaranteed for the rest of the season on Tuesday. The Lakers want to acquire young talent and/or draft picks in any Gasol deal, but the Cavs aren't willing to part with more than a second-round pick since Gasol could leave as a free agent this summer. Cleveland reportedly has two other potential deals, including one sending Bynum to the Jazz for Richard Jefferson, and either way a resolution is bound to be reached on Monday.

The Cavs want to execute a trade for Andrew Bynum by Sunday. They'll want it to be processed before Tuesday's NBA deadline to save the Cavs six million dollars. The Cavs are also "making progress" on a deal that would involve Pau Gasol. This makes no sense for the Lakers from a business perspective and would hurt their brand a little bit for making a move that would suggest a rebuild is coming. Fantasy owners shouldn't be making any preemptive moves.

The Cavs and Lakers are still in talks for a trade involving Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Richard Jefferson's name has now also popped up for Bynum. Nothing appears to be imminent on either front and teams are not going to be offering the Cavs much because they have no leverage. The Jazz have been apprehensive in playing Enes Kanter because he slows down their tempo and can't defend inside, so the move doesn't make too much sense for them. Bynum might be cut on Jan. 7 and he can be left on the wire in almost all leagues.

Sources tell ESPN that trade talks between the Lakers and Cavs centered around Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum have stalled.

Andrew Bynum (suspended) has come up in multiple trade rumors involving the Lakers and Bulls. One rumor has Bynum headed back to Los Angeles for Pau Gasol before reportedly being waived and another rumor has him headed to the windy city for Luol Deng (and again waived). Both moves would reportedly save the Lakers or Bulls over $20 million in salaries and luxury taxes, though neither deal seems to have legs as of yet. We'll be monitoring this situation closely as it's very possible that Bynum is with neither of the three teams in the near future.

Updating previous reports, the Cavaliers are still "considering holding onto [Andrew Bynum]" if they are unable to trade him before his contract becomes guaranteed on Jan. 7. Bynum will earn another $6 million this season if the Cavs hang onto him, but the second year of his contract won't be guaranteed until June 30. The Cavs might therefore be able to trade his 'expiring' contract for assets later in the year, but that seems like a shaky bet for Cleveland. The Clippers and Heat reportedly both have interest in adding Bynum for frontcourt depth, but no matter what happens this week Bynum's fantasy upside is severely limited.

Andrew Bynum's team-imposed suspension has ended but he's been excused from all activities with the Cavaliers, who are expected to waive him before Jan. 7. Bynum was suspended for 'conduct detrimental to the team' and the Cavs are cutting their losses by waiving him before his contract becomes guaranteed for the season. The Clippers and Heat are rumored to have interest in Bynum once he clears waivers.
