He's a lockdown defender who can guard at least 4 positions. He got traded to an awful situation, but was having huge scoring games for the Bulls when Rose went down. 19/6.9/3.7 is hard to come by. I think his flaws are poor handles for a wing player, and not effective as a 3pt shooter.
I wasn't demeaning his game. I think he's a good player and he'll do well. However, 13 mil for him as a bench player is a little too much I think.
He's not going to be a bench player anywhere he'd go. If he's got no choice but to take much less than the ~$13M, he may as well sign with the Heat.
You asked who the best defensive wing is, and I told you my opinion. In the old days when LMA rebounded like a SG, pairing him with Deng (who rebounds like a PF) made sense. Not so much anymore. They both take a lot of long range 2pt shots. I don't know if I'd S&T for him for the Blazers.
I actually asked You mentioned Deng and Stephenson. Deng is wanting 13+ mil and Stephenson is wanting a truck load of $$$.
My bad. If money and CBA were no object, those are two really good options. It may come down to Deng signing a Mo like deal at MLE price. 2 years with player option after the first.
