"I think Luol is one of the most underrated players in the league," Thibodeau said. "He had a very good season last season. The big thing is his durability. If we can get him to be strong and healthy, he'll perform well. A lot of things he does go unnoticed to most people but not to his coaches and teammates. He's an all-around player with a great midrange game.

"I know when we played against the Bulls we were always concerned with what he was doing away from the ball. We need him to be in constant motion and cutting and slashing with high energy. We just want him to play to his strengths. Defensively, he has length and can challenge shots and he's a very solid rebounder. Those are the things we want him to get back to."

He actually sounds like a real NBA coach, quite refreshing.

Hopefully they keep Deng healthy enough so they can trade that fucker by the trade deadline.
