I know it's unlikely, but it makes a lot of sense since they've been shopping Deng, they've needed a SG essentially since Jordan retired, and we have a large, gaping hole at SF. With the Tony Snell pick and the Dunleavy signing, Deng is expendable if need be. Or so one would think
they have Butler, too, though and Thibodeau would probably rather keep playing him 48 minutes a game than deal with Thornton and his defense.
