As mentioned in the title, this is only hypothetical and will never actually happen, but a "what if" situation...
Imagine the current roster...but instead of Derozan, the Raptors had Paul George. With everything staying the same, I believe this slight "hypothetical" change would have the Raptors winning the Eastern Conference Finals.
George is a great defender and can shoot the 3 pointer, both weaknesses of Derozan's. As the old saying goes, can't win without a superstar, George is a superstar that never had a chance to play on a great team. Furthermore, George is a player that other teams actually respect, compared to the current Raptors roster which does not strike fear in any team.
Both Derozan and George will be making max money, so contract wise they are replaceable.
Again, this is only a what if situation...but would you agree George on the current roster instead of Derozan is capable of defeating the King and the Cavs?
