Luol Deng admits he might be open to returning to the Chicago Bulls this summer once he officially becomes a free agent.
"I can't say," Deng told the Chicago Sun-Times Wednesday night after the Bulls knocked off his new Cleveland Cavs team 98-87. "There's no bad blood or anything. For me to sit here and say I'm taking Chicago out of the equation, that's stupid. I was there for 10 years."
Since arriving in Cleveland, Deng and the Cavs have been up-and-down, with his scoring down to just 15 points a game and the team stuck in neutral at 4-4.
'I don't know. Maybe they'll offer me three years, $30 million," Deng sarcastically told The Sun-Times, referencing the last deal the Bulls reportedly offered Deng before shipping him to their Eastern Conference rival for troubled center Andrew Bynum. "That might be an option to take.''
The L.A. Lakers are also rumored to be interested in the veteran forward, who has averaged 16 points, six rebounds and three assists in ten NBA seasons.The 29-year-old former Duke star is also regarded as one of the league's best defenders at his position.
