Let’s hope this works out better for the Cavs than it did for the 76ers. Andrew Bynum has agreed to a 2-year deal with Cleveland Cavaliers. Details after the jump….

The deal is worth up to $24 million, sources said, and the Cavs hold a team option for the second year. Only $6 million of the contract is guaranteed, according to sources.
Bynum, who missed the entire 2012-13 season with the Philadelphia 76ers because of a knee injury, will have to reach a variety of health- and games-related benchmarks to collect the full $12 million in the first year of the deal, sources said.
