Timberwolves add another ex-Bull in Luol Deng
The Wolves added another of coach Tom Thibodeau’s former Chicago Bulls, signing free-agent Luol Deng on Monday.
He will get a one-year, $2.4 million deal — the veteran’s minimum — from the Wolves.
Deng recently reached a contract settlement with the Los Angeles Lakers on the final two remaining years of a massive $72 million contract he signed in summer 2016. That made him an unrestricted free agent and he chose to reunite with his former coach from Chicago. The Wolves tried to sign him in 2016, but offered a two-year deal compared to the Lakers’ four.
