I don't know why they would have done that. Noah's got 2 years as well....only he's getting a little more $$. He's as useless as Deng was, so it would just be us shelling out an additional couple mil next season.
As well....Deng agreed to waive 7+ mil from his contract to be able to go off and play elsewhere. So it makes no financial sense to take Noah.
I wanna give Deng some props for agreeing to that cut in pay. He said he wanted to play, and I was very vocal that he needed to put his money where his mouth was, and agree to be bought out. <------- he did it. It puts us in a great position to sign a max player next year without having to trade one of our young guys.....so good on him.
Deng appears to be a pretty class guy, and truly wanted to play. Im sorry it worked out the way it did as a Laker.
