Luol Deng’s phone reportedly was pretty busy Friday morning.
The free agent forward already received calls from four teams, including the Boston Celtics, according to ABC 5 Minneapolis’ Darren Wolfson. The other three teams reportedly were the Miami Heat (Deng’s team the past two seasons), Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards, but Wolfson reported the Utah Jazz are expected to show interest, too.
The Celtics’ interest in Deng is interesting, especially considering they already have small forwards Jae Crowder and Jaylen Brown on their roster. Could Danny Ainge be cooking up something big?
Deng, who’s 31 and a 12-year NBA veteran, averaged 12.3 points and six rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game for the Heat last season.
