Looks we are going to hold onto Deng for this season. Pretty sure most teams want at least Hart for Deng trade. We are not going for the ring yet, so I get it. Still...would love to get that contract out of way this year.

The asking price to take Deng was either 2 of the following players: Ingram, Ball, Hart or Kuzma AND 2 future first round picks starting 4 years from now. That's a high price to pay just to unload Deng right now especially when the Lakers don't actually need to. Teams aren't stupid. They know what unloading Deng would get the Lakers so the price will be high. I say put Deng in the rotation off the bench and show what he can do. If he can average a decent number he might get some interest from teams in the offseason as an expiring contract. If not then stretch him.
