Years after being crucified for being soft, Deng's toughness is now a negative?

I love how Deng's durability and willingness to play thru injury is now perceived as a negative and a reason to undervalue him. Can have it both ways.

My guess is the refusal to get surgery on his wrist this past season. Fanbase was convinced at the start of the season that the whole season didn't matter anyway so might as well tank by having Deng get surgery in the offseason (or at any point really) and resting Joakim way more often than he would ever agree to.
