Deng announced his retirement in October after 15 years in the NBA. His journey started with the Bulls — a team where he spent nine and a half seasons with.
During his stint in Chicago, Deng was one of the focal points of the team. He was essential in the team's playoff campaign in the mid-late 2000s as well as the 2010s. From an individual standpoint, Deng had his best years in the Windy City. He was selected into the All-Star team twice, was part of the NBA All-Defensive Second Team, and was part of the NBA All-Rookie Team.
When he left Chicago, Luol Deng seemingly fell out of the radar. He jumped from team to team, suffered several injuries, and when he did get a chance to play, he saw very limited action. Some fans even thought that he had retired.
So it's definitely a class act by the Bulls to sign him for just one day. History hasn't been nice to some players and the Chicago organization wants everyone to remember that once upon a time, Luol Deng was the face of the franchise and is now an important part of the organization's rich history.
