Report: Kevin Love, Luol Deng in talks with Besiktas

Turkish team Besiktas already has one NBA star, and they're looking to add more.

The club is in talks with Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love and Bulls small forward Luol Deng to join its roster, where they'd play with Nets All-Star point guard Deron Williams, according to Yahoo! Sports.

?I?ve been going back and forth with Deron on it,? Love told Yahoo! on Friday. ?I?ll be making my decision in the next couple of days.?

Love, 23, led the NBA in rebounding last season, averaging 15.2 per game. He also raised his scoring average by more than six points, to 20.2, played in his first NBA All-Star Game, won the Most Improved Player award and recorded a league-record 53 consecutive double-doubles.

As for Deng, he's been receiving European offers for some time and could make a decision as early as next week, agent Herb Rudoy told the Chicago Tribune.

Deng?s representatives, according to Yahoo!, have traded proposals with Besiktas, and they?re working on insurance proposals to protect the remaining $42 million on his contract with Chicago.

Deng, 26, averaged 17.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and a career-best 2.8 assists for Chicago
