    i have no problem with mozgov. guy was given a huge contract and took it like any other backup caliber C would have. and he's a pretty decent backup to have on your team so hopefully zubac makes some strides this offseason

    deng was just awful. looked exactly like the old and out of shape vet he is. hit the weight room or something too. seems like every shot he took hit the front rim

    Why does Moz get a pass because anyone would take that money but dung doesnt? Not his fault either, at very least we knew WAS offered him Moz type money but mitch/jim offered him $10mill more. I never heard any story of any other dumb team offering Moz big time $

    Because Mozgov met expectations and Deng severely under-performed.

    5reb a gm from your starting C with poor defensive metrics isnt meeting expectations from me...i know you guys want to use his #s to his career avg and say thats meeting expectation, but those are low expectations

    losing the pick has nothing to do with him, hell his presence probably helped start the tank...you guys can mock my hatred of Moz all you like but doesnt change the fact that no good team would willingly start a player like Moz if they didnt have too and we're not beating alot of teams with a C that can barely avg 5reb in addition to being a poor defender

    Skipping your exit interview is kinda pathetic. You sucked. You played like you didn't visit the gym once this season and you ate pizza and beer immediately before every tip off. Get up there, answer questions and own up to it.

    Mitch: I signed Deng to a multi year contract with insane amount of money to show our young players how to act professionally.

    And that's why Mitch isn't here anymore. Dude probably demands to pay full price when shopping for clearance items.
