TNT Report: DeMar DeRozan to Opt Out if the Spurs Don't Give Him an Extension

[DPG21920]

If DeRozan opts out, Spurs get nothing, right?

Is there a scenario in which the Spurs profit in any way?

Yes. Sign and Trade.

I think SnT he can get more money/years and still has say where he goes, that is why he would not just outright opt out.

[Dhbsr555]

I’d be surprised if derozen opt out

[DPG21920]

That is indeed the “holdup”. He and Spurs want a new direction and they are working on deals (nothing guaranteed as I’ve said).

He will either be traded or if they can’t work it out he will leave in free agency

[DPG21920]

I’d be surprised if derozen opt out

Don’t be.

[Dhbsr555]

Why would he opt out of one is gonna pay him 27 million

[Robz4000]

DeRozan leaving is addition by subtraction tbh, even if he simply walks. Still makes the Nephew trade look worse and worse by the day, however.

[talkspurs]

Why would he opt out of one is gonna pay him 27 million

He is going to be the best FA this year. Which means the most teams fighting over him. Even if he ends up in the 25 or so a year deal that could be better then what he gets next year. Next year he will be much lower on the FA list. Yes more teams will have money but that may get spent before it gets to him so he could end up with less.

[DPG21920]

Why would he opt out of one is gonna pay him 27 million

1) because he wants to play for a winner and knows Sa isn’t paying him
2) he would opt out and either a) be a top free agent and secure a lot more long term money (instead of 27m maybe he gets 88M/4 years) or b) gets sign and traded to a winning team that he wants that doesn’t have cap space to sign him outright

[Dhbsr555]

Anthony Davis holds to award also Ingram is also a fa

[talkspurs]

Anthony Davis holds to award also Ingram is also a fa

both are expected to be back with their own team and not even listen to other offers. FA in name only.

[paperboy77]

Why would he opt out of one is gonna pay him 27 million

As rich as he already is I just think he doesn’t like SA at all. Dude has options. SA is a HUGE little town.

Now days I guess not the worst charges ever. I thought Minnesota was stupid-tolerant of shit like that? BLM? Guess not.

LOL. Beasley was always a fucking moron, but this is a new level. A couple and their 13 year old kid were on the parade of homes, and pulled up to his house - and dumbshit came out and told them to get the fuck off his property. Which would have been okay if he hadn't pointed a damn AR at the driver's head. Some of his people tried to leave the house, the cops stopped them, and Beasley is out on the lawn screaming at the cops. That got the cops a warrant, and they went in and found his pound-and-a-half stash. The part that made me laugh was that there was a notebook with instructions on how to smoke it. "Inhale, Malik. You're not Bill Clinton... just fucking inhale!"

Minny better be thinking how to use that first round pick to replace him.

That's such bs.

[cd98]

DeRozan is a high quality player. He had awesome efficiency numbers last year for the Spurs and it is one of the reasons that so many contending teams would like to get him. Their issue is not his talent, it's finding the money when a contending team is already near the max and it's coming up with assets that the Spurs would want in a sign and trade without giving up too much. All the contenders would want him. He's a guy that can get his own shot at the end of a game if a play breaks down and the shot clock is expiring. He's also shown that he can be a high end playmaker.

[JuneJive]

Hopefully, he gets signed and traded for whatever dead weight comes with the much coveted picks.

'21 and' 22 drafts should be stacked.

[BackHome]

Yeah I think DEROZZ has made enough money where it will not be his first option I think he wants to go to a city him and his family want to be in and a team that is still competitive.

2 million fat people

2 million fat people

Beats starving Canadians because their food is too bland tbh. :hungry:

[Gibbz]

It's gay to not want to bang fat Mexican girls tbh--not that there's anything wrong with that.

Per league sources: teams, players and agents will be informed of adjusted deadlines for options, guarantees, qualifying offers and extensions this Friday. That is when teams will be informed of the new deadlines, not the date to exercise them.

I am surprised they put opt in opt out after the draft. Even if they did a day before the draft would make more sense. can they be traded on draft night and does it count as last year salaries (usually not allowed) or do you have to wait till day after for them to decide if they will opt in/out.

Players with option deadlines that are not 11/19: Nicolas Batum 11/16 (player option) Deonte Burton 11/17 (team option) Anthony Davis 11/16 (player option) Svi Mykhailiuk 11/17 (team option) All other player and team options deadlines are 11/19.

Monday deadline for player options

Anthony Davis: $28.8M
DeMar DeRozan: $27.7M
Mike Conley Jr. : $34.5M
Evan Fournier: $17.0M
Robin Lopez : $5.0M
Nic Batum: $27.1M
Tony Snell: $12.2M
Stanley Johnson: $3.8M
Wesley Matthews : $2.7M

My guess is we go 7/9 on opt-in

Players with same deadline are opting in / out today.

[gambit1990]

can someone bump that "demar is better than ginobili" thread? :lol

i would but i can't remember the title of that thread.

[RC_Drunkford]

DeRozan is opting in. Don't ask me where I heard it, but it's a quite reliable source

[Seventyniner]

Any idea why? It would make a trade possible, though it could just be that he thinks he will get more money overall by being a FA next year instead of this year.

probably that. All I heard is opt in. I think we should hear about it soon

Maybe the Lakers traded Danny because they got wind of the Spurs working on a better deal.

It was obvious once the league shut down for COVID. None of the guys on that list making over $10M, except AD, will get a contract at or above what they have now. It doesn’t matter that they’re smoothing the cap. Teams aren’t going to spend like usual.

[The Truth #6]

I’m ok with risking another year of DD for the chance of getting his bubble version. In a contract year, though, I’m probably deluding myself. Regardless, LMA is the one who needs to be gone first in my opinion.

It might be a case where he wants the money, but neither partner wants to go on with the arrangement, so something is worked out to move him to a non sucky team. The bubble may have been a showcase for teams. I wouldn’t expect a ton in return.
