ccording to ESPN Insider Bobby Marks (http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23973940/kawhi-leonard-trades-lakers-do-now-lebron-james), the Raptors could shock the world by trading star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan for Kawhi Leonard.
I just think we’ve come to the realization that Leonard’s expiring contract has sliced his value in half.”

stats are pretty meh, decent but nothing crazy. gets to the line at a decent rate but my god his 3pt% is actually worse than i thought...
still, hes a polished scorer and has been a lot longer than kawhi. defense is obviously a concern. but he did average 5 assists a game last season which is impressive and actually chucked a bit less. 17 FGA per game last year. all in all he would be a decent player to have as your third option if you're an elite defensive team with space. but unless LMA is going to really start shooting more from deep i just dont see them meshing well, especially with Murray. but yeah his eFG% leaves a lot to be desired and his DRPM is negative :lol

Hard pass on Lowry. He's set to make $64M over the next two seasons (!)... and he's a huge playoff choker. We'd be doing TOR a huge favor taking him off their hands.
FireMicoHalili

Made a quick trip to Raptors Reddit. They’re willing to let go of DeRozan, Lowry, Ibaka, and Powell, the first two because of that poo-poo platter of a playoffs they had last year and the next two because of their albatross contracts. As much as I prefer DeRozan the Spurs might likely get Lowry, Anunoby, and either of Ibaka or Valanciunas simply because Powell doesn’t make sense anymore in a roster stacked with combos and DeRozan is the kid they’ve invested on. Trade will probably look like Lowry/DeRozan, Valanciunas/Ibaka, and Anunoby for Leonard, Gasol, Mills/Green, and Brandon Paul. Toronto might throw in a pick for helping them get rid of DeRozan’s albatross. Masai is no chump and RC seems to be confused more than efficient right now.
Or maybe it’s just both teams trying to create leverage for each other, with the Raps signaling they’re willing to move their backcourt and the Spurs feigning interest from other teams and encouraging them to part with the assets they’v been adamant on giving up. I don’t know how to feel about DeRozan because he seems like a player the Spurs will never touch until he’s on the last few years of his career. Not sure what to feel about Lowry either since Murray, Mills, and White are pretty much set and Lowry complicates things.

Shit I think Rozen would be an ok pickup. He’d have to play the 3though. Spurs are screwed in that KL won’t commit to anyone (allegedly) but LA and everyone knows it.
big issue with Rozen is that his 3’s suck and is somewhat more of a 2nd option. Could bloom with SA though. Lowery on the other hand is a true playoff choker... no thanks. Only if it’s both then ok.... maybe trade bait.
might the best we can do given the circumstances. Still a 50 to 57 win team I think.
FIt... do it RC!

Thrilled for this guy, despite his limitations. Clips and Lakers both courted him (hometown boy) and he said no to stay in a city where all past stars didn’t stay. Character is clearly there and I’m excited for what Pop plans to do with him.

I really want to see the Spurs help him develop a strong back to the basket post game like they did the autist. He doesn't have the autist's freakish body but he does have the length and athleticism to have a fadeaway that's just as unstoppable. Put him in the same spots and run the same plays that they did for autist in the post.

The good thing about derozan is that he's improved every year in the league, so he clearly as the work ethic and isn't complacent. Last year he vastly improved as a playmaker. If he improves to a middling 3 point shooter and an average defender, he may actually be worth his contract

And why do we act like it's out of the realms of possibility, right?
LMA was considered a soft defender in POR and he has been damn good here. Dick Jefferson and Autist himself become 40% 3PT shooters in SA.

The price tag for getting rid of kawhi stings, but the more I look at what Toronto sends the Spurs the more interesting this upcoming season gets. You can hide some of the defensive liabilities of derozen with how the spurs utilize team defense positioning.
Spurs got younger in areas people constantly gripe about. Yet they still complain. Reminds me of this old bastard at work that is never happy with the situation at work, everything can be running smoothly, no extra work, nice an relaxing, going to leave work early...YET finds something bitch about because they don't know how to do anything else but bitch.

Right so in order for this trade to work out, you have to bank on the Spurs' ability to teach and Derozan's willingness to work. Is Pop/Chip so much of a better teacher than Dwayne Casey/Nick Nurse that he can get Derozan to significantly improve when he's pushing 30? It's not a completely unreasonable bet to make although ideally Derozan is a little bit younger so he can improve more.

Toronto Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri started off his first post-Kawhi Leonard trade with an apology to the star he just traded, DeMar DeRozan: "I want to not only apologize to DeMar DeRozan for maybe a gap of miscommunication, but also to acknowledge him and what he's done here with the Raptors, for this city, for this country. There's no measure to what this kid has done and we appreciate him and I promise we're going to celebrate him in the best possible way that we can as long as I'm here." Not long after that, DeRozan - who used an Instagram story to apparently express his feelings about the trade earlier this week - posted this on Instagram: Think that's his response to the apology? ...

I'm not sure how to Spurs looks like moving forward, we just lose a Top 5 Player (pre-injury) and we don't know if the current roster will even works out.

Pop might be an arrogant arse at times, but he didn't RUN Kawhi out of town. Kawhi and his group didn't communicate well whatsoever with the Spurs brass. The intentional move to LA was planned before last season. Uncle Dennis needed to revive his business venture by having Kawhi in a big market. Kawhi and his group used the "misdiagnosis" of his quad injury as an excuse to roll out of town. Say what you will about Pop, but he has always been great to the players. If Kawhi had to endure 1 1/0th of what Tony had to endure he would have melted in his first year. Kawhi not having the _______ (fill in your own word) to say a word to the fan base that worshiped him on his way out shows you what he is. No matter what issues he had with the organization, he should have addresed the fans through the media, but instead, he remained quiet and cowered behind Uncle Dennis.
If Kawhi would have just came out and said he wanted to go play back in his home state, I think people could have respected him...not liked by any means, but respected. He took the cowards way out and hid behind the smokescreen that he willingly created.
Bruce Bowen was 100% correct with his assessment of the situation.
I can assure you that as things move forward, you will hear more on Kawhi and his group. It will trickle out slowly, because the Spurs will not run a smear campaign, like Kawhi's group and the media is intent on doing. This whole the Spurs felt holier than thou mess being spewed by portions the media is all part of the veil of that Leonard continues to hide behind.

Kawhi wanted first of all just to get out of San Antonio, he lost trust in pop and FO, he feel they not at all can lead winning organization anymore now Duncan is gone and they exposed, he wasn't happy with pop and team direction, he looking back and seeing a lot of underachievers and miss opportunities as a team just because of pop naiveness, stupidity, being full of himself and not caring enough about winning... he just didn't want to caught up too long in this bad, KG Minnesota type situation, which that's what he believes the worth of Pop and his FO now while don't have Timmy to save them...

Pop might be an arrogant arse at times, but he didn't RUN Kawhi out of town. Kawhi and his group didn't communicate well whatsoever with the Spurs brass. The intentional move to LA was planned before last season. Uncle Dennis needed to revive his business venture by having Kawhi in a big market. Kawhi and his group used the misdiagnosis of his quad injury as an excuse to roll out of town. Say what you will about Pop, but he has always been great to the players. If Kawhi had to endure 1 1/0th of what Tony had to endure he would have melted in his first year. Kawhi not having the _______ (fill in your own word) to say a word to the fan base that worshiped him on his way out shows you what he is. No matter what issues he had with the organization, he should have addresed the fans through the media, but instead, he remained quiet and cowered behind Uncle Dennis.
If Kawhi would have just came out and said he wanted to go play back in his home state, I think people could have respected him...not liked by any means, but respected. He took the cowards way out and his behind the smokescreen that he willingly created.
Bruce Bowen was 100% correct with his assessment of the situation.
I can assure you that as things move forward, you will hear more on Kawhi and his group. It will trickle out slowly, because the Spurs will not run a smear campaign, like Kawhi's group and the media is intent on doing. This whole the Spurs felt holier than thou mess being spewed by portions the media is all part of the veil of that Leonard continues to hide behind.
Agree. Thanks.

After watching this, and thinking about Houston series, I somehow think Pops onto something. Pop’s exposing Curry’s atrocious defense. Keep attacking him and make him play both sides of the court. I know it’s a long shot, but if anyone can... in Pops we trust :flag:

Sounds great if this was 2016 and Durant wasn't there to bail him out (and vice versa).

Durant was there when Harden almost beat them, unfortunately CP3 went down. Also Durant was there on both Raptors game an DeRozan kept scoring making it close games. Add to Murray hounding Curry every time. I’m just saying.

Pops was genuinely excited getting DeRozan from that interview because he knows he is getting a player who can score on Curry.

Yes, this is obvious. If he just hated the organization and wanted out, he would ask for a trade. If he didn’t think the Spurs were good he’d ask for a trade to a contender. Saying he wanted a trade only to an LA team shows he and his group had an agenda.

Yeah I agree. Guess it's just sad how hard it would be even if Spurs can effectively expose Curry.

I considered the Warriors still very capable of just winning the last 2, CP3 or not.. but yeah it would've been good to find out.

Someone tell DeMar it's a business, we don't need this shit lingering. Hopefully he decides to show Toronto what they're missing and has his best year yet.
Might actually indicate he'll work here with the Spurs culture. This organization always has rewarded loyalty and sacrifice for the good of the team. If we can get DD feeling about SA the way he seems to feel about the Toronto organization, i could see him being a really good fit here even after his current deal.

:tu Becomes all the more important to have shooters in the front court (3, and 4 or 5 depending on how you classify Aldridge) with Murray, DeRozan and Aldridge on the court.

Small ball makes the most sense, Bertans will likely see his minutes go up next season ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . The Spurs will need legit shooting threats beyond the arc and on the strong side, otherwise teams are just going to wall off the paint.
