He actually took the most money and the place to be 'the man' in Toronto.
Houston and Miami were pursuing him but he'd be 3rd option or less and they were offering less money.

He is a stop gap on a very cheap contract who fits a need as a 5th option on offense, allowing the floor to be spread.
Scola is best suited destroying opposing bench bigs.
Bennett has a long way to go and a lot to prove beyond showing up the team who cut him just a few weeks ago.

Primer wrote: View PostIn 4 preseason games, averaging 23.3 minutes per game, here is some enlightening DD stats.
TS% 44.4% (this is super fucking terrible)
0-5 3pts (he still can't hit 3's to save his life)
2.75 ast/gm (pretty much on par with his last 2 seasons)
4 reb/gm (this is slightly better than the last 2 seasons)
My eye test tells me his defense hasn't gotten any better either. Looks like we're gonna get more of the same from DD this year, or perhaps even worse if his shooting remains this awful. This is exactly how you play your way out of a big contract. With these numbers no one is going to offer him anything close to the max. Personally, I think SG will be our weakest position this year, because Ross is not any better.

psrs1 wrote: View PostYou know that some posters took a lot of heat suggesting to trade for Markief Morris. I originally did not have any interest due to character issues but maybe we need an upgrade at the 4 as PP does not seem to be the guy many of us thought he would be. Yes it's early but PP as starting 4 looking to be an ongoing issue.
He is in a slump....but he isn't the answer long term anyways.
He is a reserve player.
Morris is also a reserve.
I don't believe either fit long term.
PP is the new Ross.

All I know for the last two month and half of the last year DD looked like a max player. His shown his capable of it. 13-14 and last year after fully recovering from his injury. People acting like were wishing for something that never happened but it has. Would of happen last year but, he missed 25 games.@Chr1st1anL

And his play post-injury was similar or almost statistically identical to what it was pre-injury so that narrative just doesn't work out either.
Here's what that period actually shows: whether or not he gets his numbers, it doesn't impact whether the team wins, loses or even plays well. I will admit that I do think he could potentially get max offer as it does appear that his reputation far exceeds his actual production (like one of the articles I linked brought up when one of the analysts was surprised when looking closer at DeRozan). His basic stat-line looks great if you just look at PPG, APG and RPG (in combination with each other). It's when you look closer at literally everything else, where it paints the picture of them being empty stats.Last edited by Just Is; Fri Oct 16, 2015, 01:48 PM."My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr
