Deng or Gordon next to go overseas?

[Pugz]

While the Chicago Bulls continue to work with Luol Deng to keep the talented forward in red next season, it has been revealed that Greek team Olympiacos approached Deng through his agent, Jason Levien, to gauge the restricted free agent's interest in leaving the NBA, the Chicago Tribune is reporting.

It is believed the deal would have been much more lucrative than the one which former Hawks' forward Josh Childress signed earlier in the week.

Citing Deng's desire to remain in the NBA, Levien declined. Deng has also said he wants to remain with the Bulls, with three, four, and six year deals being discussed.

Ben Gordon, the Bulls' other restricted free agent, could receive feelers from Olympiacos. The Bulls remain far apart in negotiations with Gordon's representative, Raymond Brothers, but Gordon did reiterate his desire to remain in Chicago on the WGN-Ch. 9 Morning News on Friday.

Now that would be something..

Any more young talent want to leave, say I.

 

[The Young One]

Damn does this team have any big men?

Their going after like every free agent guard in the league

Deng's not going he expressed his desires playing in the NBA. Gordon on the other hand is searching for the type of money he doesn't deserve. I'll look for him to get monta ellis' type contrct maybe a little less. Nothing more than 11 per.
