Deng signing for actually slightly more per-year than Baze.

I like Deng but he will eventually wear out; especially guarding younger SFs and SGs. I think he is a good get for the Lakers, who else will sign with them but 2nd and 3rd tier FAs..... . Below is a quote on how well he played in the back half of last season.  Eight boards a game is huge, I dream of getting that out of our Small Forward!

 

"Deng, 31, averaged 15.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 28 games after the All-Star break, when he shot 48.4 percent from the field in 31.4 minutes. "

I agree 100%, I thought Deng would chase a ring, not a pay check after all these years making good money.
