I’m stuck in England with Deng’s overexposure when it comes to TV coverage, so a trade would be pretty welcome by me, I could actually watch someone other than the Bulls each week!

The only problem with this is that the Bulls didn’t figure this out themselves. He’s maxed out just like every other player on the Bulls (Gordon, Hinrich, Thomas) and at best he’s a #3 option. Bye.

I’m not sure how to feel. On the one hand, I still think he’s going to be a player, and I’d prefer to see him stay a Bull. On the other, I’d kind of like them to keep their options open and maybe be a player in ‘10. Assuming the entire American economy hasn’t failed by then.

how many players have the bulls let go/traded away in the last few years that have gone on to become top 5 in their respective positions? lets start counting.. and add deng and gordon to that list if you may.

cosign Squirrel. I’m tired of watchin the Bulls and seeing Andre Alleyne talking about how Luol is the next big thing. I agree he’s talented by right now I think he should have taken the offer last year as well as Ben Gordon, seeing as neither of them had a great year this year.

Sign and trade. Seems the Bulls are built to move some people… Use it to their advantage.

Maxed out? That just doesn’t make any sense. He does need to prove he is more durable, but if he’s injury free, in the right system he can definitely be a solid number 2 option. Should have taken the $57M though - that was a big mistake.

If Deng goes to Europe, I really wouldn’t care. The guy is a real greedy SOB.
