He's smart. LeBron doesn't want to be part of the Cleveland curse for long if he can't cure it.

That is about the first contract that I guessed correctly.

Yeah, and that's a guy that a lot of people thought we should go after. So even Marvin Williams was out of our price range.

The question would be why. Marvin Williams sucks.

Unbelievable contracts being handed out this summer. Marvin, Parsons, Hayward and Frye are all getting PAID. And what's up with the rumors or Isaiah Thomas possibly going to Phoenix? How many point guards do they need?

When Mathews contract is up the Blazers might not even be able to afford him.

No its not. Opts out when new tv contract is up. Smart move + no taxes. Will end up making more overall when all is said and done

Deng was obviously looking for a payday. This was as consolation as consolation gets.

LeBron won't leave Cleveland again. The short contract helps Cleveland add more players and gives LeBron a chance to re-sign for more money.

I saw this coming.
Free agent Luol Deng has committed to signing with the Miami Heat, reaching agreement on a two-year, $20 million deal, league sources told RealGM.
Deng’s agreement with the Heat will include a player option for the second season, a source said.
After the departure of LeBron James, Pat Riley pushed hard over the weekend to sign Deng as his new starting small forward. One of the most versatile players on the free agency market, Deng brings the offensive and defensive credentials to help the Heat maintain a competitive threat in the Eastern Conference.
A two-time NBA All-Star, Deng played nine seasons for the Chicago Bulls and averaged 19 points and 6.9 rebounds in 23 games before his trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers in January. The 6-foot-9 forward ultimate had averages of 16 points and 5.7 rebounds with the Cavaliers.
Deng’s representatives worked on finalizing his contract during the weekend, but several teams – including the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns – had remained in conversations to sign him. The Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks and Hawks inquired on Deng once free agency started on July 1, and the Heat sustained genuine interest.
Nevertheless, Deng committed to the Heat’s offer on Sunday afternoon.
Deng, 29, has averaged 16 points and 6.3 rebounds in 10 NBA seasons. With the Bulls, Deng performed the best basketball of his career in a first-round upset over Miami in 2007, when he scored 26.3 points and grabbed nine rebounds in a sweep of Riley’s team. He had held a healthy rivalry against Miami, Riley and their roster.

Cole/wade/deng/bosh with napier and maybe Chalmers on the bench. Sure it's good enough for the playoffs in the easy, err East, but not that good. And little space, depending on wades deal

It was a poor attempt to do what I always do.

It is pretty much up to Wade.
If he can still be "Batman", he has a pair of very good "Robins" in Deng and Bosh. If Wade can't stay healthy - the Miami Heat become the Miami-Room-Temperature.

He sure seems used up to me. I would have traded Wade if I was Riley. Bosh is still pretty young, so they could put some younger guys around Bosh and Deng.
