The same was said about Grant Hill and numerous other whom came to the Valley.


Deng is no Grant Hill, he is a good player but he doesnt make us a contender in the West so why use the cap space I would rather Warren gets those minutes and develops his game.



NOBODY makes us a contender in the West! So we do what, nothing? Or you sign some guys short term, while your young guys grow to decent contracts and try to make a splash.

Dragic and Bledsoe was great together. I think people fail to realize that, being so stuck on James, Melo, and Love!

Would you rather have Deng for 10-12/yr or Stephenson for 10-12/yr?

I'll take the crazy one I guess

I'd rather have 12 mil in cap space for future deals.

How can you develop your young guys if they are sitting on the Bench! thats my point you sign Deng he takes minutes away from the young guys.



They can get 10-15 minutes a game. Do you want them starting? Not unless you are trading Goran and Bledsoe, then why sign anyone.

Nevermind your right lets hope we get that 8th seed and tie up our cap space with Deng, its a solid move.

Dont see why we would still go after Deng after signing Tucker and drafting Warren.

Yea, lets not sign a guy to a short term contract and TRY to compete. That is real competitive of you.....Maybe I should learn how to not try or quit, then maybe I can relate to your point of view.

No point in deng suns 3 deep at that position.

Upgrade at 4 or 5.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Because he is better than Tucker? Because rookies hardly play? because Warren may spend time in the D League. Because Goran and Bledsoe are good and may want to try to get better. Because a healthy Deng can play defense?

Because we may make a trade. :-? If we are interested, it is for a reason. I'm sure MC'D can see what we need and will do better than us.

It's possible the Suns plan to play Deng at the 4. He's a better rebounder than Frye.

Would be epic if the Rockets traded Lin and Asik to make room for Bosh, and then Bosh silently decides to play for the Suns, and then they have to match Parsons ridiculous contract. :lol:

A. Why would Deng agree to a short term contract unless we way over pay, someone is going to pay him?

B. Do you want to eventually compete for championships or are you happy trying to make the playoffs, cause thats what signing guys like Deng will do for us help us compete for a playoff spot nothing more.
