Bulls finally trade Luol Deng. Seems a decade long rumor. It happened in true Chicago fashion. Low ball the guy on a free agent contract and say, "take it or leave it." Then trade him or kick him loose.I'd make a cheap shot comment about Cleveland Joakim Noah style but we got a couple of draft picks out of the deal.

Honestly I never was a big fan of Deng. For as high as he was drafted and as long and supposedly consistent his play was since he's been here he made the all star team just twice. Chicago fans get stuck on numbers like Deng being the fourth leading scorer in Bulls history as if he belongs in the same breath as Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Dengs life story is a great story which by all standards would be looked upon as a success. Nearly a decade in the league and his family taken care of if he was smart with his money. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Miami with Lebron because the need to win a ring will start to take precedence over money. In case he does stay in Cleveland Chicago once again has a constant nemesis in the division. And think of all the sentimentality every time he plays here. And another uncomfortable confrontation in another locker room with Joakim Noah visiting a friend. Bleeding hearts who hope he does well. Just not when he plays here.
