I wonder if DeRozan will use social media to let everyone know what he's thinking when he becomes a free agent.. like Chris Bosh did.

Day One wrote: View PostI think the way it works is that when DD opps out then his $$ is taking off the cap so we can then sign KD to a max contract. Once KD is signed to the max contract we can then sign DD to the max contract bringing us well over the cap. thats where we come in and must reward ownership by buying all their gear lol
In order to be able to go over the cap to re-sign DD we have to keep his cap hold of $15M. With that on our books we have no cap space and thus cannot sign Durant (or anyone really - besides minimums and MLEs) unless it's a sign and trade.
If we let DD's cap hold go off the books (meaning we'd be unable to re-sign him) we'd have 15M cap space which still is not enough to sign KD.

If KD wanted to come here I think Masai would figure out a way to make it happen.

I think if Casey was replaced and an offense that featured Lowry and JV as the 1-2 punch with lots of on and off ball movement, then the team would be no worse off than it is has been the last 2 seasons.
I asked if you replaced DeMar with Ross and changed the coach, would the offense be top 10 still?
You said no, but the team would be no worse. If the offense is no longer top 10 and you aren't making an argument that the defense would improve (which I don't think you are), then how would the team "be no worse off than it has been the last 2 seasons"

Funny place this Republic is. I just looked over the poll numbers and the results and its significantly on the "no $20 million for Demar" side. I'm not sure if most of these votes were cast before his recent strong play. Odd though that I think 29 other teams in the league would give him that (if everyone had enough room). And these results include the bias of being drawn from fans interested enough in the team to sign up for this site. Weird but after hanging out here for so long, it kind of makes sense.
