Luol Deng Puts Home Up For Sale

Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng has put his Northbrook townhouse (near the Berto center) on the market. This is after all of the rumors settled down if he would be traded this off-season if the Bulls landed two or three of the big free agents. The Bulls lost out on getting any of them in Wade, James, and Bosh so now it looks like Deng is staying put. This is a big, expensive townhouse.

Per The Chicago Tribune

Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng has placed his three-bedroom town home in Northbrook on the market for $639,000.

A native of Sudan who left Duke University after one year to enter the NBA draft in 2004, Deng has been with the Bulls his entire career.

Built in 2000, the 2,511-square-foot town home has two full baths, two half baths, a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, a large master suite with custom closets and a lower level with a bathroom and lots of storage.
Deng paid $336,000 in 2004 for the town home, which is in a neighborhood popular with Bulls players.

Did you notice how much Deng paid for the townhouse and how much he is trying to sell it for? That is a big increase, maybe he doesn't realize this is a bad time to sell an house. Shouldn't Deng have put his house up for sale a few months ago if he thought he was getting traded? Unless he feels he is safe now and wants to get something bigger.
