The Vertical is reporting that Luol Deng has signed with the Lakers for 4 years and $72 million. Interesting fit, not sure I like it but I do think he's got a couple more very good years in him

Wish Deng ended up in a better situation.  Happy he's getting paid though.

You know who is or isn't interested in winning a championship every FA season. Looks like Deng just wants that money so he can bounce with something in his pockets.

It's still their job. 9 out of 10 of these mid tier players are gonna go where the most money is.

Glad that he's out of Miami so Justise can play more.

Deng is going to be coming off the bench, right? I like Luol but this doesn't look great

Its pretty weird, Deng is still starter material but they shouldn't start him over Ingram or Randle.

Why bring Ingram off the bench?
