Another thing for you to consider is that Mayo has been in the league going on four seasons and he hasn't improved. I'm not against him coming here but I'm against trading DeRozan for him. We're too quick to toss guys under the bus around here.
Demar and even Bargnani will both fade when the going gets tough and you're going to have to replace their spine to change that. I say trade both~
Also, Demar is a shooting guard who can't shoot.

DeRozan is never going to be a young Vince Carter-type player, so he should stop modelling his game after it.
As for not seeing the tenacity required, after watching Bargnani box out this year and play team defense:
Anything is possible indeed.

It never seems to fail to shock me how most fans around here toss a player under the bus at the first sign of adversity. There is hardly no loyalty what so ever in Raptorsland. It's always "what have you done for me lately?"
Blows my mind how we put so much faith in a SG that can't shoot... or dribble.
And since you're talking about loyalty... how many players do you think would take a pay cut to play in toronto if their demand is much higher elsewhere? Bargs? Wasn't he the one that said he'd rather like to play somewhere warm?
