Will be great with our young guys.
Already came to LA and sat courtside for a Sparks game.

| I have wanted him on the team ever since his jumpshot knocked Miami out of the playoffs in '07. |

I hope he still has gas left in the tank.
Unlike Wade in Chicago now, will need two jerseys one for him and one for his walker. |

Deng brings high character and leadership to the team.

A perfect player for Ingram to learn from and will help right away.

Hope we rescind that QO to Huertas. Not only because I don't want him on the team but also because he wears Deng's #9. I know he wore #2 in college but he's worn #9 ever since he's been in the league.
Have they announced when the presser to introduce these guys will occur?

Good move by the FO, adding Deng was something I had hoped we would see.

Hopefully he doesn't need to play heavy minutes after mid way through next season, you hope our young guys like Randle, Nance, Ingram, heck even Anthony Brown show so much improvement that it'll be OK to let Deng plays less than 20 minutes for the remainder of his contract. If he ends up playing 30+ minutes come next season and beyond then we are in trouble.

Love everything he said.
Luke already influencing free agents. His culture is something people will take notice of.
This is the beginning. Were going to be just fine. |

What a likable dude. The polar opposite of Nick Young. Regardless of what he does on the court he'll be worth every penny.
