Bulls Explore Trade Of Luol Deng To Wizards For No. 3 Pick

"The most likely trade construction, if talks were to progress to the serious stage, would send Deng to the Wizards for the No. 3 pick and center Emeka Okafor, who would have to formally opt into his contract for next season ($14.5 million) this week for the trade to go through."

The Bulls have been flirting with the idea of trading Luol Deng and could be using this, along with speculation of talks with the Cavaliers, to gauge the trade value of this All-Star swingman.
