Barolt wrote: View PostI have a question for the DeMar fans. I've come a long way in the last two months as far as accepting that we might be paying DeMar the max for the next five years, and as long as there's a coaching change I'm mostly okay with it. Still would rather have a shooting guard who can shoot, but when he's decisive he does enough other good things that it's usually a net positive.
My question is this, does DeMar actually make our other players better? Because I'm having a hard time statistically backing up the idea that the other players on our team are better off for DeMar being on our roster. Lowry's Drtg, Ortg, and net rating are worse in a 2 man unit with DeMar than his season averages.
I'm genuinely curious, and I'd love to see evidence that he does make guys better. I'm not trying to hate on him, I'd just like to know.

Barolt wrote: View PostI agree on Lowry, looking through stats it's easy to see the impact Lowry has on his teammates. It's much harder to find a similar impact for DeMar. I gotta ask, wouldn't a real offense have the same effect on making what Lowry does sustainable?
I'm not saying it's even necessarily the right way to go. But that's the argument for it.

Hoopshype has DeMar as the #5 free agent of 2016, and basically number 1 if you don't think Durant, Lebron, Dwight, or Drummond will change teams.
