| He's taller than Elton Brand and the same height at Josh Smith, but he has been playing SF. He has played PF in the past. Only 23 years old, went for 17PPG last season with an efficiency rating of 17EFF. Just an example of another guy we might go for if Josh or Omeka doesn't pan out. Here again, he's a guy who can score going to the hoop or shooting away from the hoop. And we can sign him for less than Josh, leaving us some cash to sign another downtown shooter or round out our roster and have a deep bench. Does he have enought to be a PF? |

| No. I believe they dont play him at pf because he has no upper body strength. Unless we could move thorton to pf i say its the backseat to smith. |

The Bulls don't have Kobe Bryant today because they refused to include Luol Deng in the deal. I'm pretty sure if they would rather have Deng than Kobe, they would match any offer presented to him.
The big problem I see for the Clippers is that Atlanta, Charlotte and Chicago will likely match anything they offer. I mean, the Clips should still offer everyone a MAX deal to jack up the salaries for those teams. Why not. Their only hope is a trade. I've been hearing Mobley for Randolph as well as a potential Mobley and Thomas for Marion deal? |

| I can convince myself that SF Josh Smith can play the PF, but I can't do this with Deng. |

| ^^Yeah he's a SF for sure- I think even Thornton more of a PF than Deng. |
