While the Chicago Bulls continue to work with Luol Deng to keep the talented forward in red next season, it has been revealed that Greek team Olympiakos approached Deng through his agent Jason Levien to gauge the restricted free agent's interest in leaving the NBA, the Chicago Tribune is reporting.

It is believed the deal would have been much more lucrative than the one which former Hawks' forward Josh Childress signed earlier in the week.

Citing Deng's desire to remain in the NBA, Levien declined.  Deng has also said he wants to remain with the Bulls, with three, four, and six year deals being discussed.

Ben Gordon, the Bulls' other restricted free agent, could receive feelers from Olympiakos. The Bulls remain far apart in negotiations with Gordon's representative Raymond Brothers, but Gordon did reiterate his desire to remain in Chicago on the WGN-Ch. 9 Morning News on Friday.
