Solid career. Even better person.

While that 2010-2014ish team didn't win anything, it was clear that everyone on that team were brothers and they were playing for each other.

Thanks for the memories Lu!

A little surprised he'd want to since this team literally almost killed him

Yep. They were a joy to watch and it was fun to truly watch Bulls basketball and feel like they could win a championship for a couple years. They built that team the right way and all of the pieces were in place. It's just a damn shame that they could never seal the deal with the big name.

When you look back at it, Wade really did fuck the Bulls that 2010 FA. Joe Johnson wanted to sign with the Bulls and at a discount but he didn't want to wait. The 5 of Rose-Johnson-Deng-Boozer-Noah would have been nasty.

Anyways, back to Deng. Was never a great player but he was steady from beginning to end. So well rounded. Congrats to him on the career. Expect that short stint in Miami.

Sad to hear about him being retired but happy it happened in a Bulls jersey!

2nd best SF in Bulls history if you allow me to add.

RC, LTNS!

Chet Walker would like to chat with you. And Bob Love was technically a SF that played PF similar to Carmelo Anthony at a later point in his career. Luol should get his props, he deserves it, but lets not overly romanticize his career.
