The Official "Thibs, Cut Dengs minutes, Jimmy is an acceptable backup" Thread

when Deng comes back thibs should play him for about 33-35 a game

its no sense playing deng 43 minutes when you have a guy like Jimmy as a backup

Also. There it's no sense keeping a guy who has reached his peak like Deng in your team when you have a younger, cheaper and with better potential, version of him in your team. You can trade him.

Kevin Love you are welcome! :D

Thibs is trying to kill Luol Deng. Don't you guys know this by now?

I've been a fan of cutting Deng's minutes since Thibs first started playing him like 42 minutes a game.

Bearsmod1 doesn't like Deng, most of his posts on the Bulls forum have been Deng hate.

If you release him, you still have to pay his contract. Unless a buyout is made. So, you either trade him for expiring contracts/a younger player or you keep him. Since I doubt a team will take on his contract especially when he still have more than 1-year on his contract.

There are players in free agency that are pretty good. So, trading him for expiring contracts isn't the worse idea.
