5. Luol Deng – Chicago Bulls
Unrestricted Free Agent.
2014-15 Destination: Atlanta Hawks
With Derrick Rose ruled out for the remainder of the season, speculation has suggested that Deng’s departure from Chicago may be accelerated in order for the franchise to rebuild.
The 28-year-old is experienced, offers threat on the offensive end as well as a tireless work ethic in defense, and will not be short of possible suitors moving forward.
Having failed to agree on a new deal with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, it is widely accepted that Deng will leave the Windy City this summer.
With the Atlanta Hawks in 25th place in terms of highest salary cap within the NBA, they also have a first-round pick to offer in return which may well appeal to the Bulls as they build for the future.
