What I'm finding interesting is that despite his good month, opinions of DeMar around league fanbases aren't actually that high. Check Brooklyn and Laker fansites, fans of those teams don't list DeMar as one of their most desired free agent targets. You could interpret this as they don't see enough of him, or it could be that we're all in the Canadian sports media bubble where DeMar's game is overvalued. I'm honestly not sure which.
I'd love to keep DeMar at $20 million, still at best lukewarm on the max.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Is the media (Toronto) in particular trying to stir up some shit? The Tim and Sid one where they went off on Casey, Demar and Lowry - even calling Demar the new Rudy Gay. When I thought the player Casey was calling out regarding touches was JV.

Obviously click-bait, but it's 100% accurate and relevant, so I'm not sure what makes it a 'sham', aside from your own preconceived notions about what you think they're inferring.

Defensive FG%-wise, Klay is better than DeMar. Defending three pointers, which is the most 'on-an-island' perimeter defenders get, is where DeMar struggles most, giving up +7% over guys' season averages. At this same distance, Klay gives up -7% against season average. There's a 14% difference between what guys shoot on 3s guarded by Klay vs. DeMar.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

... and Jimmy Butler's differential is +3.4, making the difference between him and Klay T 10. Does that mean Klay T is a much better defender than Butler?
... and JJ's differential is + 5.7. Does that mean he's much worse than Klay, and close to DeMar defensively, and even worse than Harden?
...

One thing I have noticed, is that the Raps seem comfortable packing the paint, and are susceptible to that cross court pass for a 3. You have no idea how many times I've sworn on Demar for "cheating" in the paint, while he was guarding a 3pt shooter on the weakside. Even if he closed out well, one or two more passes usually resulted in a clean look. I'm not sure if this is a Demar thing, or a Raps thing, but it bugs me. I just don't see the value of weakside defenders cheating towards the paint. Does it really deter penetration?
