Luol Deng could be Josh Childress

The Chicago Bulls forward, Luol Deng, have had contacts with the Greek Olympiacos to play in Europe.

Luol Deng is waiting to see what happens with his career in the NBA. It is a restricted free agent last year and rejected a renewal of the Chicago Bulls of 57.5 million for 5 seasons. Now the Bulls do not approach these terms and Deng have to choose what to do. Also, if you tempt any NBA team, the Bulls could match the offer and stay with him. In principle, as says the player, Luol Deng wants to stay at the Bulls and have been negotiating contracts with 3, 4 and 6 years.

But the most curious of all is that the Greek Olympiacos is interested in the Sudanese with UK passport to join their ranks before contacting Josh Childress. Not formalized any offer, but is thought to have been more lucrative than the hitherto Atlanta Hawks player, who charged $ 20 million for 3 seasons.

If the contract extension with the Bulls' Luol Deng was not carried out, could sign for another year at a cost of $ 4.5 million and become an unrestricted free agent next year. The Chicago Bulls could also make a sign-and-trade with Deng (ie, sign a contract and then pierce), although the GM John Paxson has reiterated that Luol Deng is a priority for the team.
