    Worse than LeBron man to man, by far. Pretty good team defender. Not as versatile. He can't guard lighting quick PGs through PFs. Doesn't have the size or lateral quickness. Good effort, rotations, team defender though. Long money arms to contest shots.

    They need Birdman or some other decent rim protector.

    This is gonna show how valuable and how much impact Lebron has considering Deng is like a 2nd tier replacement. Miami vs Cleveland at ECF would be intriguing because a lot of storylines can be made. Cleveland will be there but not sure about Miami.

    LeBron isn't bad man to man, but he gets wore out given all his energy usage on the floor. Loses intensity for it, or focus. I've seen him stay in front of Tony Parker, Derrick Rose, and guard Pau Gasol before. Deng is a decent man defender, LeBron is a good man defender.

    I really think Deng can help with that. He's struggled the last few seasons because he's been called to initiate the offense more with Rose out, then last season he played on a back achilles pretty much all season.

    He used to shoot above 37% consistently.

    Great deal because he actually wanted more than that.

    Miami will be solid. Better than what most are expecting.

    This. If you look at DraftExpress's LeBron James Free Agency Scouting Video this is one of his weaknesses. He shoulders so much offensively sometimes he becomes disinterested in defense depending more on team help defense or just doesn't have the energy to stay in front of his man.

    Shit if Wade's knees were a few years younger, and Bosh has less sugar in the tank. That team could win a championship depending on Mapier's maturity levels. Which immediately are probably higher than Chalmers.

    To admit I was wrong about Deng. I thought he was going to get $12 to $13 million, considering he turned down $10 million for three years with the Bulls. It seems like with this two year deal he's hoping he has a couple good seasons then in 2016 and the cap increase he can cash in one last time.
