Luol Deng

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

Welcome!

Always loved his game, hope he becomes the "leader" and "defensive anchor" this team needs.




By leader I meant by example on defense and in practice as I know he is not a real vocal dude..
Mike Brown has a boner just thinking about it...

Welcome to the Cavs. And welcome to my 2k Association I'll be starting over later today. I'm interested to see how much Deng commands in the virtual offseason.

Same here.

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

I feel like Dellavedova is going to welcome him with full court defensive pressure as soon as he walks off the plane.

with brown screaming behind delly "BODY HIM UP!! BODY HIM UP!"

edit- you can follow Mr. Deng on twitter @LuolDeng9

Its gonna be fun watching people complain about you Deng. enjoy the honeymoon.

After watching the shit show we have ran out at the 3 this year, I don't want to hear one complaint about Deng :chuckles:

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

Imagine the defensive tenacity of a lineup featuring Andy/TT/Deng/Waiters/Delledova. Would give other teams FITS.

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

Does anyone have any more info on his Achilles issue? I have not followed the bulls much this season, only watched maybe 5 of their games.

I scrolled through the box scores and it looks like his minutes have been down over the last 4 games and he sat out 5 games ago.

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

no reason for him to play tonight, even it was an option. he obviously would benefit from a few extra days off. unless its something that wont ever be 100%, i'd consider giving him a week or two to get fully healthy. Then it will be a sprint to the finish, the final 40 games or so after the west coast trip.

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

My biggest concern is that Brown is gonna run this guy into the ground. Book it. You heard it here first, with the way that Mike plays veterans...... getting him this horse was good, but Luol should be terrified. Eat your wheaties Lu.

I also like that it allows Alonzo to go back to his natural fit on the team and that's situational backup defender. Gee is great to throw on a CP3 for a few minutes to give them some strange looks and make them uncomfortable.

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

Other thing I'm interested is how we play Miami now. If you play Gee on Wade and Deng on James, put Thompson on Bosh......

We have some players to defend their attack now.

I think Deng becomes best buds with Varejao, they're both similar hustle/grit players.

Both Andy and Deng have James thoroughly scouted over the years, it's gonna be great to see them D up LeBron.

Nothing he isn't used to. Been happening to him in Chicago for awhile.

Also his name is spelled Luol.

Re: Welcome Loul Deng.

The dude is averaging 37 minutes a game under Thibs... That is ridiculous

It's a command.

Austin Carr on the fan:

• We gave up nothing for Deng, a pick means nothing unless you actually get a player with that pick.
• We're going to have to change the way we run the offense to get Deng involved, you can't dump the ball to him and let him ISO
• With the Cavs being a young team, they are better if they make the playoffs. They need to understand what the playoff means, how the game is played, what it's about.
• Isn't sure what he's going to use for a nickname for Deng, will just let it happen.
