Luol Deng Team Quotations

I feel like we took another step ahead. We hustled. We don't get rewarded for it. But as a team we've got to know we played the world champs and took them to overtime. The only reason we did that is because of how hard we played.

We're not as determined as we were last season. We still play hard, but last season we played hard and smart. Whether it's because of a lack of confidence or whatever, we're not the same team right now.

The whole team realized he was feeling it. We wanted to give him the ball. We all told coach to put him back in the game. When anyone's feeling it ... We're all here to have fun, we wanna watch it.

Best team player? As good as Lebron James is, I have to go with Messi. What he's doing, he's on pace to becoming the best ever.

As much as I want to stay on the team -- I love Chicago, I love the Bulls -- at the same time, I know the business part of it. Sooner or later, all the rumors are going to come up.
