Luol Deng needed two weeks to find out all he needs to know about the Cleveland Cavaliers as an organization.
There have been several reports of Deng been horrified by the teams practice and game habits. Marc Stein of ESPN is reporting that Dengs has seen all he needs to see in Cleveland, and there’s little to no chance he re-signs with the team in the summer.
And the general toxicity in the air around this team — where rumblings of player discontent with Mike Brown are getting louder by the day — makes you wonder if they have any hope of re-signing newly acquired (and shell-shocked) Luol Deng in free agency.
That’s right: What was supposed to be a season exciting enough to make LeBron Jamesthink seriously about leaving Miami to come back to the Cavs has descended into such farce that sources close to the situation are already saying that there’s little-to-no chance Deng will agree to stay once he hits free agency.
That three years and $30 million from the Bulls looks good right now.
