If DeRozan was a free agent this offseason, what kind of offers does he get?

Probably what he has right now, maybe with an extra year, maybe with small raises through his contract.
That'd be my bet.
Possible it goes up to 10.5M.
I'm just speaking out of my ass here, but that's the best I got."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Hope you're wrong.

I could see him commanding about 12M. You never know though with NBA GM's - after his all-star performance, it could be even higher.

I could easily see a desparate team throwing $14 mil at him.
Another interesting question: how high would Masai go to match and keep him?"Stop eating your sushi."

Tyreke Evans got 12M last year off a bad season. There is no way DeRozan gets less than that.

Eric Gordon got the max the previous year from Phoenix (matched by NOLA) without even sniffing an all-star game and never playing on a good team.

I acknowledged I have no idea. I read a LOT about basketball, and it seems to me most people think with the way DD's game improved this year, he's earned his contract extension.
Whether or not there's a team out there desperate enough to way overpay, I don't know.
Also, again, Gordon was a RFA"Bruno?

DD/Bledsoe would probably be neck and neck in terms of highly coveted free agents. DD is less injury prone and was both in the all-star game and the playoffs. So he should have a lot of suitors.
With the cap going up by about $5M I could see some generous offers. A ball-park guess would be about $13M/year. Essentially close to the max, without paying the max.

DD is apparently the 6th highest paid SG right now, behind:
Kobe Bryant
Joe Johnson
Dwyane Wade
Eric Gordon
James Harden
Demar Derozan
Marcus Thornton (wut?)
OJ Mayo
So there's a serious drop off in talent after DD.
But still, he's no Harden, who's earning 13.7M.
As far as PGs go:
DD is currently earning less than:
Chris Paul
Deron Williams
Derrick Rose
Westbrook
Parker
Rondo
Evans
Lawson
Curry
and more than:
Holiday
Conley
Ellis
Dragic
It doesn't look that unreasonable where he's pegged right now. DD isn't a two way player. Like I said, maybe he gets a small raise.
More accurately: I'd say DD is a just under max contract player, like a lower tier all star should be. Whether he lands closer to 10M or closer to 12M depends on the FA environment and the negotiations that take place between his agent and interested GMs"Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
