Ben Gordon and Luol Deng conducted their exit interviews with General Manager John Paxson and left believing that they'll remain with the Bulls through the summer, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Gordon and Deng both turned down five-year contract extensions worth $50 million last fall and will become restricted free agents on July 1st.

"I didn't get any indication from Pax that I wasn't in the plans," Gordon said. "The organization knows what I'm capable of, so if they feel that I'm a piece that they need, they'll make the necessary moves."

"I feel like I'm in their plans," Deng said. "But with this league, you never know."
