The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired veteran forward Mike Dunleavy from the Chicago Bulls, sources told ESPN.com.
The trade was made to help facilitate the Bulls' impending signing of Dwyane Wade. The Cavs will use a trade exception to acquire Dunleavy and also are likely to send a second-round pick or the rights to a player overseas, sources said.
Dunleavy, who the Cavs chased in free agency last summer, was excited about the deal, sources said. He averaged 7.2 points and shot 39 percent on 3-pointers for the Bulls last season, in which he was limited to 31 games after back surgery.
