The fact that his employer - to whom you wish him to be staunchly loyal - is able to trade him away for no reason at all if they so choose, is a reason to cap any man's loyalty to them.
Which would you rather do; be the face and the saviour of all of basketball in the finest nation in the world, the one which gave you and your family political asylum, which gave you the health and relative wealth of you and yours, and which your family resides and finds employment (including your basketball playing siblings).......or turn all that down to be "loyal" to a team whose fans want you gone.
I'm choosing the former, and I'd support any player's decision to do the same, even if I didn't share their nationality like I do with Luol right hurr.
This is a business Sham and you know that, in fact Deng used his intentions to play with GB in his contract negotiations.
There is a level of loyalty to your country and I respect that more than most. But don't use it as an ultimatum to get more money, that's the point some people are making.
I personally can careless if Deng plays for the British, but the Bulls have every right to look at this from a business perspective and trade him if they want to protect themselves.
