I was gonna post this :lmao I don't follow that putrid loser but I decided to check it.....kawhi is playing in the finals while this fucking idiot is dancing around his pool high as a kite with a $40 Ross track suit on

Dude is literally looking like he is about to dive off the side of a building... LMFAO!

[duncan2k5]

This guy is so mentally fragile... Probably had a complete meltdown when Lowry referred to him as "a guy he played with" before raving about Kawhi... Lolol... Funny how winning changes things... Now even Lowry is making up with their GM after both him and demar HATED him

[K...]

I think the DeRozan drama is overblown. This is his first Texas summer and he's portably going insane, but in a normal way. If he were real depressed he wouldn't be wearing matching clean clothes. He's never lacked motivation, he's lacked sophistication and mental fortitude.


Tim Duncan in the insta age would probably be this way too

[Genovaswitness]

hopefully he realizes the city will never embrace him and he moves the fuck wherever

Boy, I bet we’d have a FIELD DAY roasting you if we were able to access some of you guys’s social media profiles. I’m not saying this isn’t goofy as hell but come on, let the guy have some fun.

All this said, it would be stupid if this were some kind of mellow dramatic foreshadowing or passive aggression...

[Jonnyblue19]

Looks like he is Hawaii, maybe we get lucky and he gets mauled by a shark.:hat

[TimmyBuckets]

Eh DePression gonna depress. Just hope he can develop a respectable 3 over the summer. Laying an egg G7 should be enough motivation.

[Spurs fever]

I feel bad for him. It's really not his fault he's nowhere near Leonard's talent and it's not like he wanted to be on our team.

apparently he doesn't need a 3-point shot either. At least Rudy Gay is in the gym and has dropped weight already

We will be just fine, we have all our picks and we usually hit and no miss and we develop well. Its two more years people, be patient, be brave, we can do this, we are not alone like depression, we have each other.

It’s not healthy to be alone. Studies show you should contact with at least 8 people a week that you know to keep mental heath.

well I guess he knows it himself and that's why he's already working out for next season. I don't interpret a lot into IG posts though, maybe DeMar comes back with a 3-point shot. I at least hope he will

[KimmyGib]

Derozan is so depressed HaHaHa fuck him, he's a stupid luzer, LoLz. He posted on instagram and he's not even in the finals LOL what a piece of shit. I'm a Spurs fan, he sucks at life ROFL!!!!!

[Genovaswitness]

Why is your avatar still a picture of Drake taking it up the ass?


quote the post ill see it next time. I wonder how loser DePression feels about losing his friendship with drake.

[Slippy]

When ever im down i hit the basketball courts. Hopefully someone close to DeMar can pass on that the court is your freind. You dont have to be alone. Get out there and work on that 3point game. Its all about mindfullness . Basketball will get you there. Instagram won't.

Rudy Gay is a very big reason why we didn't advance.

THE REASON. Glad hes losing weight, that will help him in the post.... er...

How are the fucking idiots turning on DeRozan. The real responsibles are the ones who brought him here. We know the culpables of this attrocious decision.

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

We shit on him because he's not taking us nowhere beside first round exits. We need to take our frustrations out somehow and his loser instagram posts fit the bill.

[Barfunk]

Eh, we're having a great 2019-2020 season barring injuries, which Spur-hating Spur fans (wait... what?) on the forum will not like.

I think DeRozan might actually be underrated now. Many fans -- even general NBA fans -- think he's complete garbage. But, I mean, 20/6/6 guys don't exactly grow on trees.

Everyone likes to act like the Raptors are in the finals mostly because they got rid of DeRozan and got Nephew but the main reason they're in the Finals is because LeBron left the East. Sure, Nephew is ten times the player DeRozan is but even DeRozan hadn't lost to a non-LeBron team in like four years.

It didn't make him strong enough not to get his shit blocked the fuck out in our last possession of Game 7, tbh. That being said, depression is no joke and I hope he continues to get the help he needs.

Yoooo, I love to get a good chuckle from time to time myself, but to make fun an degrade someone you know has depression/mental issues just isn't funny. Idc if he's a Spurs player or not. He's a hurting man an it's not funny. But I'm sure I'll get roasted for saying this an it's cool, but idk why I expect more from a classy organizations fanbase.

If this was a classy organization that cared about his mental issues then they wouldn't let him embarrass himself on social media

[Big Empty]

Without DeRozan Spurs are a lottery team instead of a first round exit �� im not sure which is worst. He’s a good dude, a solid player im not gonna bash him either. Im curious to see what this team can do healthy. I expect White to continue to show even more flash, DD to continue his 26 ppg and for Murray & Walker to have solid seasons. If Durant leaves Goldenstate the league is up for grabs even if KD joins Kawhi somewhere. Itl be a more even playing field.

[Igetbuckets210]

Yo leave DEROZEN alone how would you feel if you got traded for player way better then u and leads your team to a championship and your team forgets about you

Nothing but truth in this post! You can tell the folks who actually know and have played the game as opposed to just playing NBA 2K

[duncan2k5]

I bet if Kawhi got thrashed in the first round, or by Philly, he'd be feeling GREAT!

[duncan2k5]

Yall keep looking at numbers and not impact... DDR is a career net negative player... There NO WAY he beat this bucks team... Giannis would be his new lebron... He couldn't even beat the nuggets

[BD24]

I really hope the lakers are dumb enough to take him off our hands

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'd like to know the juggernauts DDR went through before running into LeBron...can't wait to see that list of contenders

[Texas_Ranger]

If he kills himself, do the Spurs get rid of his contract?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

People are harsh on DDR. :lol



It's not his fault he got traded to the Spurs. We just traded one player with mental challenges for another. Unfortunately the one who got traded just was a better basketball player.


But, yeah, I'd rather see him posting pics of himself practicing three-point shots.

[Harry Callahan]

Don't worry about our Classy Organization. You have enough problems out in LA LA land. The Lakers are a bigger mess than we all thought and that's saying something. A dumpster fire.

DDR is a very good player who got jerked around by his prior organization when the raps were able to date "the prom queen" with a gimpy leg.

True :lol

Yall are confused... Yall say he is faking injury one second, then saying he is injury prone and will never be the same the next... Lmfao! MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!

[MaNu4Tres]

Really want the Spurs to strongly consider trading him asap.

I hope DeMar doesn't give in into a hometown discount extension if Spurs offer it.

DeMar to Charlotte makes a lot of sense if the guy Spurs love falls to 12.

No you're confused. You don't understand what people are saying. The anti-Kwitter argument:
He has a chronic problem in his quad, thus, he is injury prone. This was the Spurs diagnosis, which his team rejected. This is diagnosis is validated by the fact he took 22 games off for "Load Management" with TO this year. TD missed 38 games for rest in his entire career ( https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nba-teams-are-resting-players-earlier-and-earlier/ ). This diagnosis is also key to him faking an injury. In the season Kwitter sat 73 games, he was in fact capable of playing, just like he is for TO now. Just like he did for the 9 game come back. His team just held him out (quitting on the spurs), to force a trade.

He quit in 17/18, and his "load management" indicates he will be injury prone for the remainder of his career.

He quit in 17/18, and his "load management" indicates he will be injury prone for the remainder of his career.

don't argue with duncan2k5 he got Kawhi's balls so deep in his face, he won't hear you

Millionaires have a hard time making new friends. Why because most Ppl around them will want some of their dough. This is normal.


Of course fat poverty losers posting in an obscure internet forum would not relate :lol

[21209]

A grown ass man acting like this. WTF

Most NBA players act like this. Just in different ways.

[SAGirl]

I think the DeRozan drama is overblown. This is his first Texas summer and he's portably going insane, but in a normal way. If he were real depressed he wouldn't be wearing matching clean clothes. He's never lacked motivation, he's lacked sophistication and mental fortitude.


Tim Duncan in the insta age would probably be this way too
No he wouldn't!
:rollin

[Joseph Kony]

Yall are confused... Yall say he is faking injury one second, then saying he is injury prone and will never be the same the next... Lmfao! MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!
lol mad that your favorite player fakes injuries or is just a huge wuss :lmao

[TimmyBuckets]

Thank God you're not in charge of the franchise... Signing that guy to an extention would be a clear sign of dimentia... Shoot, not trading him this off season would reek of incompetence

Huh? When did I say that I wanted him to stay or I wanted an extension? I'm just predicting what Spurs are going to do. I'm not a DePression fan.

[tholdren]

When are you too old to watch nba? 15?18?

Can someone please sneak into his nursing home and smother him in his sleep.

[JeffDuncan]

Can someone please sneak into his nursing home and smother him in his sleep.

No, please, show some respect. Gramps' mind may not be what it once was, but he fought bravely against the Kaiser in the Great War.

[Dverde]

Really want the Spurs to strongly consider trading him asap.

I hope DeMar doesn't give in into a hometown discount extension if Spurs offer it.

DeMar to Charlotte makes a lot of sense if the guy Spurs love falls to 12.

DeMar would jump off the nearest bridge if we trade him to Charlotte.

[MoffettBuffet]

No he wouldn't!
:rollin

Exactly. Timmy probably wouldn't even have social media to begin with.

SAN ANTONIO — Prior to Game 2 of the 2019 NBA Finals between the Raptors and Warriors, a skit aired on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show featuring San Antonio Spurs' DeMar DeRozan.
And according to DeRozan's agent, he nor his client wanted it to air.
In a report from The Athletic's Sam Amik (https://theathletic.com/), DeRozan’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, was informed the skit was to air before Game 2 of the Finals. This did not sit well with DeRozan nor his agent, and they asked it not be shown (or a disclaimer be added as to the date of filming) seeing it would be "insensitive" considering DeRozan plays with the Spurs.
“We found out a few days ago, and we alerted them immediately that it’s not something that we wanted them to do nor did DeMar want it on,” Goodwin told The Athletic. “We felt it was extremely insensitive to the fact that DeMar’s (former) team is playing in the Finals. They made it clear to us that it was funny to them, although it wasn’t funny enough for them to use a year ago when they shot it. And apparently, that’s all that matters to them. We even asked them, ‘If you’re going to air this thing, put up a disclaimer that, for whatever reason, you’ve had this footage for over a year and you decided to use it now. And they refused to do that.”

According to a tweet from Kimmel, the skit featured DeRozan displaying a fake training product called the "Invisiball."

Not sure if its been mentioned yet but, “Being alone makes you strong. I don’t need a friend.”, are song lyrics. . .from a Kevin Gates song, “I Got That Dope”.

[venitian navigator]

I don't know what our FO will decide to do with DDR but I frankly think that he really needs an environment like ours to improve as a player and, probably, considering how reliable our staff is, also in his psicological matter...I never liked his game, never inspired in me confidence 'cause I have always considered it a losing way to play, but the fact that he has talent is undeniable...consecutive all star games don't came for free, also in a weak eastern conference. What is also undeniable is that the past one has been one of his best seasons...after just one training camp with us. We all know that the more you play our system the better you become...simply because is based on knowledge of a lot of movements and takes some time to learn (even if last season Pop said to have limited our playbook).
His transition to small forward is another point in his favor...considering he's already 29 and he's naturally gonna fit better with defensive assignments of bigger but slower players. Only thing he has to practice is the spot up threes...expecially from the corners. Not an impossible task...
That said, I'm not opposed to trading him, but lets not behave like he has no nba value...that's absurd, and also more absurd considering the kind of season, and stats, he just had.

[RC_Drunkford]

damn they did DeMar dirty with this one. This makes it seem like he's out of the league doing local TV commercials that air at 2 AM while the Raptors are in the finals

People should pump the breaks on DeRozan finding motivation in the Raptors success. They did him dirty last year and he still came back the same inefficient chucker he always was

I thought he was motivated/pissed until about December and then old behaviors returned, which is to be expected. It would be the same for most of us.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

On a tangent, I think a smart team should employ/consult actual therapists/psychologists because the league is basically composed of young men who are still dealing with their complicated personal pasts. Not everyone, but many. Maybe they already do.

Team bonding dinners over coq au vin is cool, but not likely meeting people where they are at. Courting worldly players probably makes the locker room more engaging, but actually relating to the African American experience of the players is a good idea, too. Maybe that already occurs, but I’m not certain about it.

This is actually a great idea. I think there's one eSports team in CSGO who does this to help the players' mentally, think it's Atralis.

Why I addressed that depression or mental condition is a serious matter in general, I can't help or being annoyed at DeMar's mental state. He's being paid and it's not a good example of behavior to show his mental condition while he's still with the NBA. I understand there's a different level or effect of depression to a certain people but he needs to be mentally tough and fight about it or atleast, seek some professional.

[Marcus Bryant]

Hopefully he stops cutting himself before camp.

[NickiRasgo]

The problem with DeMar's approach in providing awareness of depression is in negative vibes instead on how you'll fight it. He should be atleast shows a positive vibes despite on what he's going through right now - that would be better or atleast do some diversion like helping the community or something.

[John B]

I’m still rooting for this guy to turn a leaf this season. It’s contract year as far as getting him extended or traded. He needs to show he can play modern basketball. I feel he’s working hard with his outside shooting and defense. I mean the guy has all the physical tools to be great, and with Spurs trainers and system he could very well be so. Tbh, if he maximized his potential, Spurs is a complete team who can win it all next year

I think it’s a great idea if you are a coach who is tired of being employed and wants to lose the locker room. So if you really like being out of work as a coach yeah I go this way no problem.

Demar isn't depressed... Depression is something you have to be diagnosed from a licensed professional... All he did was say depression on social media and everyone thinks the dude is on the verge of suicide

No, my assumption is that any goofball has the right to post whatever silly brainstorm crosses his mind. No problem.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

Thanks for sharing your insights. Sounds great.

[RC_Drunkford]

let's just hope he develops his 3-point shot (I know it's highly unlikely, but we've seen flashes of it in Toronto). That would actually make him a great player to have on the team

[Kurgan]

He looked considerably less explosive on the Spurs than he did in his last season on the Raptors so it's obvious the physical decline has already begun. If he doesn't add any type of shooting to his game, he could see himself Carmelo'd out of the league. Unfortunately, I don't think he has any interest in improving. He's a Compton kid that grew up idolizing the rapist. That won't ever change. He has far too many bad Kobe-isms in his game to ever be a plus impact player. He'll keep chucking those mid-rangers till the end of his current contract and then sign elsewhere, thankfully. He has the same disinterested body language that Aldridge has, except LMA has a reason to stay in Texas(his kids) while Demar has none.
