[...] Last season, Deng had the lowest field goal percentage of his career (41.2), and his splits show how his percentages dropped after he suffered the injury in January. And he shot 31 percent during the Olympics. [...]

Who is the f-ing idiot that wrote this? Are you seriously comparing Deng’s Olympic numbers to his NBA stats? The GB team that he is on is terrible and probably wouldn’t make it to the final four in march madness. He is by far the best player on GB aqnd was getting swormed in every game. Deng is going to be fine and he is our starter at least until his contract runs out after next season; probably even after for a reduced contract. deal with it and stop comparing him to other players when you don’t know schmitt about basketball

What kind of real value can you get for Deng with a bum wrist? I like the idea of selling Lu high, but I can’t see another team giving us the type of player you are expecting. His contract is close to Andre Iguodala, Danny Granger, and LaMarcus Aldridge level players. I know I wouldn’t give up any of those names for Deng. I guess a player like Bogut would be close salary-wise, but would Bulls management really want him?

I have respect for Deng, but I’m looking at this objectively. After Rose tore his ACL, that should’ve been the sign for CHI to get some much needed offensive weapons. Is Deng really an offensive weapon? He doesn’t have a deadly jump-shot, 3-point shot or inside game. He does all of it solidly, but he’s not the type of player you game-plan for on the offensive end.

CHI needs to get value out of Deng while it’s high, or else Rose will have to shoulder the load alllll over again. God forbid he suffers another major injury.

This guy can’t get any respect! When he was hurt, he gets ripped for being soft. Then everyone wants him traded after Del Negro’s ‘stand in the corner and wait for a kick out’ offense. He had a couple of really good seasons, and finally gets some recognition (and an Allstar selection)… Only to be ridiculed for NOT missing some of the season. I think Deng will an important piece for next season. Mainly his leadership more than playmaking.

Blah. Just get the surgery and get healthy, so we can get some value out of him and trade him away.

Deng is a solid player, but this team needs play-makers and he’s not one.
