Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:11:21 GMT

served by picapp.com It appears Luol Deng has had it with the Bulls slow negotiating in getting him a max-deal. Luol Deng turned down a 5 year $57.5 million deal last fall and than only played in 63 games as he battled injuries. He still was second on the team in scoring at 17 ppg and pulled [...]
