Luol Deng ends up in Utah (Rumour)

I didn't look after the first page but does Dr. Jones have 70-80 of the replies on this thread?
 
Deng as a backup 5 would be fantastic! He could play the 3, and 4 too. :)

If we could I would love to sign him AND Solomon Hill. That's incredibly deep and flexible roster full of two players. Unfortunately, we would have to cut someone we like to make it work.
 
True.
But couldn't deng start at the three and Hayward at the two?

Can we stop mentioning Hayward playing the 2?

He's morphed into a 3. He's a fulltime SF now. Our defence is good enough, we don't need Deng to start. Rodney will start ahead of him, Deng provides leadership, injury insurance, and good backup minutes.
 
I would rather us not go after Deng. He's more of a PF these days, and I don't want to cut into Trey Lyles minutes.

Get that Deng is a wing out of your head.
He's had trouble his first year in Miami and his performance got better once he stepped in as the small big for the injured Bosh. He's too slow at this point to guard most wings or beat them. He's still long, strong and quick enough to compete with most bigs and his perimeter game makes it similarly hard for most of them to defend him in return. Think of him as a Draymond Green with a deteriorating body.
I hope offer isn't longer than 2 years. Means moving on from Booker.
