    Yeah after Magic joked about it, the way he and Rob quickly stepped in to clarify the position I think was important. Deng has been at least professional about his situation and yes it's a bummer and yes it's difficult, but at least everyone is on the same page here and trying to do what's best for each other. Luol doesn't have a place here in the future, but we're trying to find a way to get him the money he was promised while also not hurting the new regime.

    I'm really, truly hoping we can get him to Chicago in the off-season attached to a few picks.

    ...we're short bodies at the 4 spot. Throw his old *** out there at least for tonight's game. Sweat some for that cash he's making.

    Deng has been a total professional about his situation and I do appreciate that. What this article fails to mention is his play had fallen off a cliff before he was deactivated. The Lakers gave him the contract, so it’s not his fault but he’s got to be able to see he is not worth anywhere near that amount. If he really wants to play again, leave some money on the table and except a buyout for less. Otherwise I feel no sympathy for this guy.
