Unsubstantiated Rumor: DeRozan opts in

[illusioNtEk]

a"Friend" close to the DeRozan situation says he will Opt IN!

Fuck you if you don't believe me

[Seventyniner]

I believe you. I don't necessarily believe your friend.

It wouldn't be surprising at all, though.

[rudwick]

Obvious choice, moneywise.

[Genovaswitness]

glad to see this fucking POS for another year :toast

[r0drig0lac]

ok

[lmbebo]

Heard similar

[Dex]

Would be more surprising if he didn't. He ain't gettin that money back in free agency.

[Russ]

In times of turmoil, make the safe play.

Actually, this increases the Spurs' leverage.

[cd98]

Funny because the "friend" could just be giving an opinion if this really happened.

[BackHome]

I think most people would be shocked if he didn’t Opt in its kinda a foregone conclusion but yet stranger things have happened.

[alpha_HaZE]

Mods, can you update the title so it is not so misleading.

Him opting in and him and his agent working out a trade with the Spurs is possible, possibly to the Knicks.

Yalls inside sources couldnt give you juicier info than this?

:lol

[DJR210]

Never forget Spurstalks sexiest clubber

[hater]

Unless your friend is Wojtek I dont buy it OP

[DAF86]

For as much as I hate his game, I really like the dude. He's been the ultimate professional, and, for his style of play, he has been as good as possible with us. Here's to a last season of good basketball, working as a mentor and making the playoffs. :toast

Let’s be honest though man, he’s a not even a player you want your young players to look up to. Mentally he melts down at the slightest of bad calls, will throw a ball at the refs, gets technicals at the absolute worst time of the game. I don’t want keldon and Lonnie seeing that shit. It sets a bad example.

[spurspl]

can we trade him now? xd

[GAustex]

Somehow get rid of DDR and get 2 players for his value-ideally 6’ 7-8” who can defend rebound and shoot half decent or 1 like that and a bigger dude with muscles who can defend the rim and mix it up

[tim_duncan_fan]

I don't mind him sticking around if he plays like Bubblemar Bubblerozen.

[John B]

I think it would be different next season playing with the athletic guards. Playing Bryn/Patty/Bel together really hurt us.

[Uriel]

I have a friend who told me the Belorussian election was fixed.
:lol

[offset formation]

I don't mind him sticking around if he plays like Bubblemar Bubblerozen.

Yeah, would generally agree, but even in the 7 games he played in there, he couldn't help himself from shoving a player, getting a tech, pouting, and not hustling back.

He's good for one of those every 7-8 games.

And given how Pop always said the thing he most appreciated about Timmy is that he let him coach him like everyone else, yet he permits that shit to keep occurring with the regularity of Old Faithful. I. DO. NOT. GET. IT.

[talkspurs]

So I hear people keep saying it would be smart for him to wait til next year because the cap will be flat this year and he has good money and few teams with max money. However I am guessing next summer the cap will either stay the same or drop. Now they want to keep it flat but how long will owners hold out and not mind not getting as much money. next year with so many teams having cap space could be a good year for it to drop and not effect many teams. Also with the maybe no Fans next year and possibly have a shorter season this will be even more lost revenue. So I could see where the cap would go down next year and not this year.
Teams with cap space. Yes there may only be a few teams with cap space but if he is the best this offseason then he could get the highest amount even if not the max he could get a long term deal and a good salary. Next year there will be more teams with cap space but also players that are better then him. He will go from being a top FA to a second tear FA. Teams wont be busting down the door to get him as there are other players they will be chasing. He could be forced to take less because other teams sign other good FA meaning after they sign they still would not have as much cap room. So even though more teams have caproom after the big FAs are signed there could be less teams with caproom after top players are signed.
his PLay- He is coming off of a good 8 game stretch for him. How many here were hoping he would leave before the bubble to now are glad he may stay and some are even saying to extend him. He had good stats all year but was on a bad team in the bubble we were a decent team with him on it. If he has a bad season next year or shows back how he was at the beginning on this season he would no longer be a team player. If they try to make him a PF it could run him down even more. He will also be a year older and another year to risk injury.
The only bad thing I could see is he has the option to take 27 mil this year. who knows what he could get on the market but he may be able to get close and a long term contract.
Negatives Cap probably wont go up but I could see where it will go down next off season. More teams have cap space but also more quality players are FA. He is coming off a good stretch but who know what his game will look like and he will be a year older and can get injured.
Only positive is he would have 27 mil and who knows what he would get in a new contract.

[spurs10]

I have a friend who told me that it is going to be hot in Texas tomorrow. No!


I have a friend who told me the Belorussian election was fixed. Nooooo!!

Not sure where the fuck I read that, but I only pull from official looking sources normally

Maybe Bobby Marks updated his info after July 21, 2020 but:

If this is still true, we will know something by August 20th.

However, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29256760/2020-nba-restart-key-dates-playoffs-draft-free-agency-schedule), some of the players who have to make option decisions for 2020/21 have slightly earlier deadlines. For instance, if the Spurs don’t make the postseason, DeMar DeRozan (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-) will be required to make his decision within seven days of the team’s last game, per Marks.



October 13

DeMar DeRozan, Spurs ($27,739,975)

Note: This deadline would be moved to seven days after the Spurs’ last game if they don’t make the playoffs.

you got a lot to learn as a 12-year old. Get your sources right

Before you accuse me of grabbing from "random stuff" and start acting like an asshole, make sure you're right. Look at ace3g's post.

Simmer down, fellas.

It probably got changed after the whole global pandemic and 4-month NBA shutdown thing.

There are guys with player options still playing in the playoffs right now (like Gordon Hayward and Evan Fournier)

[exstatic]

:lol. RC, with the self own.

[XDT76]

If DDR opts in anyway we can trade him for Christian woods?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Nice prediction!

[TheCerebral1]

DeRozan is the perfect example of why this great team is falling. Being tempted to trade for this no talent, ball hog, chucking clown. This no defense, soft as a wet paper bag, get out of my Spurs roster scrub. Leave, opt out, I personally haven't ever been a fan, take your ass back to Toronto, you're not wanted in Texas! You are the iteration of why this team is falling to the bottom.

[phxspurfan]

That would be the smart thing to do. Take the guaranteed money

[RC_Drunkford]

No. Today.

so did he opt in or out? :lmao

[buttsR4rebounding]

so did he opt in or out? :lmao

He’s still dribbling...

The main point was you accused me for pulling from random sources. I didnt. It was from the same guy you pulled from. ESPN and Bobby Marks.

LMAO. At least the OP of this thread called it an "unsubstantiated rumor". You made a thread on the same thing and said "CONFIRMED!" :lol

At first the "Unsubstantiated Rumor" part wasn't in the title, it was just "DeRozan opts in". I don't know if it was the OP or a mod who added "Unsubstantiated Rumor" in later.

[talkspurs]

So does anyone know if he has an opt in or opt out clause. not much of a difference as I doubt the time would pass without him making a decision.

I believe it was an opt out.

[illusioNtEk]

Hi

[K...]

So many people celebrating a coin flip bet. The truth is that DeRozan probably did not decide until the draft was scheduled and the cap number published. This happened recently!
