Deng is healed. He's still got two full months to work on his game. So management says "Deng's 100%, (We won't miss BG at all). Come buy season tickets." But they tell Deng there is no way in hell he's playing for GB, after all, he is there money guy at this point. And no matter what they say, management never wants its guys playing internationally, so Deng comes out and says he isn't 100% yet to save face in England. I don't see anything unusual or new here.
Spouting the team line? This is the same team that rode Cartwright until he played Marcus Fizer on a half-rehabbed knee and destroyed the guy's career.
I wonder what Rose is thinking if there's insufficient LT space to pay him what he wants down the road... Show me a guy who'll put us over the top and we'll go into the LT. Yeah. Right.
I think he'll look at all the stiffs getting the big bucks on the roster and take the QO and move on to Detroit (greener pastures).
I think the new information would be the in-depth discussion of Deng's actual prognosis. We already know the Bulls management are a bunch of slippery fucks.
