You don't think a DC/KD pairing wouldn't work on the wing?
Yer mad.
You know who isn't a SG? DeRozan. He can't fucking shoot! Lol
KD is much more SG than DD is. Better handle, better shooter, better defender.
And FWIW, literally nothing I know, basketball reference has him listed as a small forward AND shooting guard.
I think everyone knows KD can play SG, can also play SF and PF in some situations even. But he's a natural SF, and it seems like you labeled him a SG purely to get DeRozan out of the lineup.
And a shooting guard doesn't need to be a sharpshooter from 3.

I labelled him a SG because his skill set allows it.
A KD/DC pairing would be incredible.
You don't have to be a sharpshooter but hitting more than 30% of your 3s and 37% of your 16ft-3pt shots would be an incredible start.

in the Raptor lineup he replaces Demar not Demarre. teams if they have a 3-D wing SF they would use KD at the 2. he would also be the iso scorer on any team that doesnt have Westbrook either trying to score, shoot or pass. with Ross he would be the 3 but essentially doing the same thing.
IF KD wants to come here, he probably would at least be partially doing it because DeRozan's on the team. Yeah some people here think he sucks, but most NBA players view him as the best player on the team, and his presence would probably be a factor in them signing.
I don't see a guy signing with the Raps to play with Lowry, Carroll and JV just saying. There's no names there.
DD doesn't create spacing and doesn't defend outside of the first rotation in Casey's flawed system in Toronto.
Carroll is a threat to hit the 3 and can allow KD to take a breather on defense guarding opponents best.
KD/DC>>>>>>>>>>>>>KD/DD
Disagree, Durant creates spacing and opportunities by drawing so much defensive attention, a player like DD would have all his skills magnified by that. And saying DD doesn't defend shows you lack knowledge when it comes to basketball, which has been clear from the get go anyway, but I digress.
DD/KD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DC/KD assuming the supporting casts are equally good fits for the two pairings.
Who are you pitching to KD that he's going to play with if DD's not on the team....?
A 30 year old Lowry?
Carroll? A role player?
Valanciunas
Whether you think these guys are better than DD or not they have no reputation or cachet league-wide. DeRozan is considered the team's best player, has that Team USA connection and can at least somewhat play the role of ambassador for the team. No superstar is signing here to play with the above 3 guys.
For the record I think we have a 0% chance of signing KD but just thought I'd make that point clear.

KD isn't a moron.
If he gets doubled and kicks it out to DD? What happens?
Team will dare DD to shoot all game and get the ball outta KD'S hands
