Report: Deng

Jul 21, 2008 - 10:43 PM LAS VEGAS (Ticker) -- Luol Deng and the Chicago Bulls are on course for divorce, according to a report from Yahoo! Sports.

The restricted free agent forward has given the Bulls two weeks to come to a contract agreement or else he will leave the team as a free agent after the upcoming season, the report says.

The 6-9 Deng is scheduled to join the Great Britain national team, hence the deadline. If the Bulls fail to sign Deng, 23, to a longterm deal he will take a one-year qualifying offer for $4.5 million and test free agency after the season, according to Yahoo!

In 63 games last season, Deng averaged 17 points and 6.3 rebounds.
