If Lakers stand pat, could Deng find himself a rotation spot on this squad? I wonder if his experience would be valued as a back up 4 when looking at profile of recent recruits?

Deng may have to have a role. It appears that Lebron will start at the 4 leaving Kuz as the only back up 4. We went from having too many bigs last year to not enough this year. If either Lebron or Kuz go down Deng may have to play some minutes.

Less size depth for sure, but Deng also is a similar profile (former star level, experienced, played for winners, solid defender) to Rondo and Stephenson. What a great potential story if Deng could dust off his career and be a contributer with the Lakers making a run.

To quote Tommy Chong from That 70s Musical:
“Whatever you took man, I’ll take 2.”
