Everything Derozan

[NoPropsneeded]

I was never a DD believer but I did admire his loyalty and committment to the Raptors. He is a difficult player to rank. With the right pieces around him he can put together a season that easily surpasses an 82 ranking or whatever it was. If the NBA didn't shift like it did I think he would be higher than this.

I disagree. Regardless of whoever he is surrounded by, Derozan as an individual player is very easily top 50. There is no way in hell anyone can debate that with a straight face. ESPN just makes outlandish rankings to generate clicks. No one should take that atrocious news outlet seriously. I call them the TMZ of sports.

82 does seem low, but without bothering to look at the full list of players ahead of him, hard to say where he really belongs. Perhaps the most polarizing player of the last 10 years in a purely on-court sense?

YOLOOO

[NeedTristanThompson]

WOW no one's posted on here since I last did. Well if anyone saw spurs hawks tonight, they'd be reminded that Demar is not Kawhiiiiii :'(

I was wondering who won this trade, us or the spurs?! They still have Demar, he's (I think?) still improving

We have no Kawhi, no Danny, no Demar, no Jak but a championship

I guess we obviously still won but it's interesting

How many good years would Demar have to have with the Spurs before they'd won the trade?!

Anyhow Demar tying Michael Jordan records again - according to the Spurs broadcast I think he's now tied with MJ and some others for 12 games with 20+ points and better than 50 percent shooting - at least he's getting closer to Kawhi like stats!

DEMARRRRR

[NeedTristanThompson]

Do you think we need Tristan Thompson as well?

I suuuuuure do! How’d ya guess?

Though if you’re suggesting those are two similarly ridiculous opinions that is nooooooot what I mean!

I was mostly joking about the DeMar thing, though it’s kinda cool to imagine him somehow playing defense and being on a good Raps teaaaam

For mr Tristan he actually seems like a perfect fit right now, doesn’t he?!?!????

Is a little younger than Serge, better rebounder, maybe not quite as good a shooter but otherwiseeee

And can even score 35 from time to time! It’s a tough call between him and Serge but it doesn’t seem the craaaaZziest to me! Especially if you like TTTTTTTTTT as a guy going forward! (free agent this summmeerrrr)

But why not just get him on a buy out or something for the playoffs and get Nick Nurse to CALL HIM OUT and send him to the g league until he plays defense and he can show Stanley Johnson how to shoot (but not threes I hope!!) and they can both learn to shoot threes together and we’ll have a GOLDEN STATE DYNASTY for years to come after resigning both for many many years to come

Maybe Rondae could call him out too? Huh I wonder if having DeMar around would be good or bad for Kyle in terms of leading the teammmmmmm

And the suggestion that Toronto give up a big for him is even more preposterous. We have enough wings already (that play defense). We don't need to give up 1 of 2 of our extremely valuable bigs for this guy. Somebody needs to put this s*** to rest. Send him to Portland or something.

He's still a good player just really flawed. Could be great off the bench like Lou is for the Clippers. But he makes too much and has too big of an ego. He'd be good with a small market team under the right coach and team expectations. Spurs have a legacy and so huge eyeballs on them (made the playoffs over 20 years in a row).

A team like Detroit, Orlando, Minny, Sacramento, Washington, etc would all be good fits IMO.

The fact that he can't shoot threes will likely limit his FA market to smaller teams. Charlotte has a lot of free dollars this summer but little sense, right?

[nubreed000]

I don't see a need for what he brings to the dance. Too soft.

I wouldn't trade anybody on this team for DD. He doesn't bring anything that's needed.
