    Love it!
    Thought it would have cost more to get him. Great fit and veteran leader.

    We still have money to spend. Let's get a back up PG. I know Jerret Jack doesn't like DAR but he would be a great addition.

    I like this move as long as year 4 is a team option.

    I can see what the Lakers FO is doing and I respect it. I still don't like the center signing though, but the Lakers definitely had an outlook on what they wanted to do and are accomplishing it.

    Best hope for next season - Portland revival: Lakers edition

    I caution everyone that Deng doesn't have the quickness he used to, and may not play much small forward. Miami used him primarily at the 4. Still, a GREAT signing! Great leader on and off the court. Offers us even more versatility in our frontcourt.

    Well, how about them apples now.

    1. center CHECK
    2. SF CHECK
    3. quality vets CHECK and CHECK

    Alright... backup PG and call it an off-season.

    To be fair he played the 4 because Bosh was out and Justice Winslow was progressing well enough to play big mins at the 3.

    PG: DAR (30) / Clarkson (15) / Williams (13)
    SG: Clarkson (20) / DAR(5) / Ingram (10) / Williams(13)
    SF: Deng (15) / Ingram(10) / Brown(10) / Nance(13)
    PF: Randle (30) / Deng (13) / Nance (5)
    C: Mozgov (25) / Randle (5) / Black (15) / Zubac (3)

    Or something of that matter....

    We needed this signing for our small ball lineups. Deng gives us that flexibility.

    Agreed, but he still doesn't have the bounce he used to have, and he's put on some added weight. Don't get me wrong, I'm still stoked we have him. Good guy for Ingram to emulate.

    Deng is the English Pau.

    Kobe's wish came through. 10 years later or what was it....

    Anyway....

    This shaping up to be a decent off-season, all things considered.
