I'm getting tired of agreeing w/ you Stag92, but you hit the nail right on the head. Nothing wrong with exploring the idea of transferring, but how about keeping your mouth shut and finish out the season. Someone has to of been whispering sweet nothings in his ear. How good can the TOT and Amaker relationship be if Tommy pulled Gai away from FF? As for being a foreign student in an unfamiliar setting, WTF does that have to do with anything? FF doesn't need this kind of BS a few days after such a pathetic performance against Manhattan (which Deng Gai was almost invisible). If his intentions are serious, I say don't let the door hit you in the ass. He wants to leave for completely selfish reasons, considering most transfers occur due to lack of playing time or a conflict w/ the coaching staff. Be careful what you wish for Deng.

Gai has reach a level of success where NBA Scouts and other people are feeding him information. I am sure much of that info is trying to convince Gai to move somewhere else, and are painting that situation with rose colored glasses.

IMO, Gai is hearing a lot of different things. I would not take my anger out on Gai, he is just listening to people, responding to questions, and probably being quite honest about his feelings. The people that we should be concerned about are those that are feeding him false hope.

Gai should listen to people that have cared for him. He is not selfish because he trying to do the best thing for his career. I would rather have a player like Gai that wants to have goals of someday playing in the NBA.
