Re: what about loul deng?
I think Deng is really awesome. I believe his contract to be out of Whack of course, but man that is some crazy athleticism. He would learn so much from Lebron. His baseline Jumpshot is so money very pure, and he can hit the 3 too. You guys might think it is funny that he would play the 4, but he is more suited to it than Rashard Lewis or the other stretch 4's we have talked about because he is very very strong and quick. If you watch, he is one of the guys that can guard Lebron for stretches. His defense boarders on excellence often and he has long arms. He is a natural defender, and he would really wreak havoc in our system.
If he could learn to use his strength aggressively, he would be a real force and I think he would be great on this team-at the 4. I went to a Bulls game early in the season and they said his efficiency was better as the 4 than as the 3. He and Noah have really been the backbones of Chicago defense and it has looked really good at times. I think if I had to choose a stretch 4 from all those other guys and Deng, I would go with Deng. We might be able to land him just for Z since Chicago is in the 2010 hunt.
