Boylan made it very apparent that when guys get back they are not going to play right away.

Looks like Paxson told him to start playing the youngsters and see what they have got.

This of course will further limit Gordon and Deng's time to play. Deng I think will still get $9 Million per, assuming he is healthy, but Gordon cost himself $12-15+ million by not signing that deal.

Now neither will have that much of a chance to 'showcase' for other teams

I think the pressure of the race for the 8th seed will overcome the desire to see the yuts play :roll:

Post subject:  Deng
I believe Deng will get the same offer this year as the one he turned down. If you look at his statistics for this year, his points per minute and rebounds per minute are actually up from last year. His shooting percentage is down (mostly due to a slow start), but still above the average for his position. Obviously his games lost to injury is a negative, but if he plays the majority of games for the remainder of the season that is less of an issue.

That being said, I am disappointed that he didn't take his game to all star level as was widely expected. However, I think the general opinion of Deng is more negative because everyone had such high hopes for this season and the Bulls have been so God-awful. :(
