Sources: Luol Deng Receiving Interest From Cavaliers, Mavericks, Lakers, Raptors, Spurs, Grizzlies, Nets

Dec 27, 2013 2:53 PM

Luol Deng is already receiving interest from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies and Brooklyn Nets among others, according to sources.

The Bulls have reportedly decided they will try to re-sign Deng in free agency.

“I’ve moved around a lot, but this is the longest I’ve been in one place my whole life and I came here at 19," Deng said. "I’m 28 now. I pretty much grew up here. So for me to think about being somewhere else, it’s a weird feeling. But at the same time, I don’t know what it’s like to be somewhere else. I’ve been here my whole career. Maybe it’s better, maybe it’s not. I don’t know that. The best thing I can do is play, be the best I can be and hope it works out. I don’t know if it will be here, if it will be somewhere else. I don’t know that.

"But right now, I can’t hang on to that. I can’t control that. I think when the season’s over and everything is done, then you sit down and you go through that stuff. But for me to think about it now, it’s just a waste of energy because I don’t even know — what am I supposed to think about? I don’t know what city. So it’s just a waste of time.”

Deron Williams: Nets' Season 'Like A Nightmare'

Dec 25, 2013 5:37 PM

The Brooklyn Nets fell to 9-19 this season and have lost seven of their past eight games.

Deron Williams compared the season to a "nightmare" after a blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.

“It’s like a nightmare,” Williams said. “The way the injuries have been and the things we talk about every day: the lack of energy, the lack of effort. I didn’t see that being a problem when we put this team together."

Jason Kidd benched his starters late in Wednesday's loss.

“The bottom line is effort,” Kidd said. “We’re not doing that right now. The big thing is when we don’t score the ball, we tend to hang our heads… We don’t get back. If you’re not giving energy or effort, I’ve got to take you out."
