Rumor: Okur for Deng?

[anonymous832]

I would do this trade ONLY if we are unable to land a guy like Elton Brand or Rip Hamilton first.

You want Elton Brand and that contract for the Jazz? Are you retarded?

Or was that tongue-in-cheek? In which case I apologize.

Pretty sure your sarcasm meter is turned off.

In all seriousness this rumor has been propagated by some guy named John on the Bulls board who claims he has connects. The twitter about Bulls looking for a serviceable center for Deng stands as supporting evidence for the original rumr.

Oh ok, thanks. I did see that serviceable center for Deng part, but that does not make me think of Okur at all. Not to mention he is injured at the moment and the Jazz do not even know yet when he will be back, so I do not think there is any truth to this.

Intriguing. I don't know a ton about Deng, but... intriguing.

Memo on a team that already has it's interior D built strongly and isn't a featured player would be awesome. Like Horry without the D. Or the 7 rings.

Any time you can lock up a rich mans Ronnie Brewer for 4 yrs/$51 Million, you gotta do it.

I'm not a big Deng guy. No thank you. He is another "star" player that really wouldn't bring any more value to the team than CJ, Wesley, or Gordon.

Deng`s contract is horrible.

are you really trying to say that CJ, wesley and gordon are as good as deng? that's homerism at its absolute finest.

They are when combined their salaries arent half of Dengs.

No, I am not...but running iso's for Deng on the wing isn't exactly my favorite offense. Other than being a better 1 on 1 player than our guys what does he do better than any of them. He's probably a better rebounder, but that's not worth $51 million.

Nice. Deng is overrated. He had one good season like 3 years ago and has been a bad contract ever since.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Is Deng going to help lead us to a ring? No and his contract sucks ***.

Move along.
