i'm pretty sure deke does not mind. at this stage of his career, he probably takes more pride in seeing landry excel [whom he took under his wings] than him producing and probably stunting development of the young ones. it just goes to prove, deke is a class act. hats off to him.
This is his last year y'know. Kinda like wishing that you could see Hakeem play a few games in his final year as a Rocket instead of as a Raptor. Or Alonzo Mourning in the game.
Deke is being saved for the playoffs whem the officiating will REEEEAAAALY allow Yao to be pounded on. I hope that after the AS game, Adleman will start to give him a few minutes to get his rythem going.
