Deng rumors already start to take flight

ESPN.com, citing sources, reported the Cavaliers are shopping second-year shooting guard Dion Waiters and have had preliminary discussions with at least three teams, including the Bulls.

Their target? Luol Deng.

Now that Derrick Rose is out for the season after surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his right knee, this is the Bulls' new reality. Even with Wednesday's 99-79 victory over the Pistons, there will be less talk of championship chances and more chatter regarding roster rumors.
