Really? Richardson is the better player on the better contract; pretty much the only thing Deng has in favor is his 'potential', which I'm counting on as a Phoenix fan in addition to the fact that PHX is going to need an SF soon since Hill is ancient and Barnes won't be here.
I really disagree that Richardson is the better player when both are healthy right now. Deng is the much better rebounder and defender. JR has reduced himself to pretty one dimensional guy.
I'm not hyping Deng here. The dude has serious injury issues. He has been healthy for about 15 games in the last two years. That being said, Richardson is a horrible contract too.
