A: First, I don't think that's necessarily Luol's locker-room personality. Plus, even when LeBron James was the center of attention, Erik Spoelstra kept Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem as the two co-captains, and I certainly don't expect that to change. What I do expect to change is Chris Bosh's voice. As the highest-paid player on the team (a distinction he previously shared with James) and holding the longest contract on the team, his voice has to resonate more than it has during the past four seasons. I still expect Haslem to be the emotional leader, and I still expect Wade to offer championship perspective. But I think it's Bosh who has to set more of a tone. As for Deng, it's difficult to establish a leadership role while holding a two-year contract that allows you, because of an option clause, to become a free agent as soon as next summer. While Deng was brought in for several reasons, I'm not sure emerging as a leader was one of them. But, as you note, the last few weeks just might have changed that equation.
