Could have made a better team had they done that trade. Could have made one too had they just not fucked up the rest of the off-season, though.

There's so much to regret about this year's team, that's nowhere on the list.
DDR is not the problem. The problem is how the team is put together full of 2nd and 3rd string guards, and no one with a clue on how to play defense.

For the 7th seed and another sweep in the playoffs. Like I said, as far as ceiling goes there's not much difference. Plus it's hard to say whether Contract Danny would be playing this well in SA. He's fighting for his livelihood in Toronto, here he had grown comfortable and stale.Quote:

Even leaving playoff hiccups out of the picture, he's an incredibly flawed player. A wing in the modern NBA should be able to play defense or shoot the three ball and he does neither. If you're going to be a one-way player, you better be a damn good one like Harden.Quote:

This. DeRozan’s great. Virtually no one else is and that’s our problem.Quote:

Gasol should probably retire as well. Things do not make sense now as expected but they will start to with the right moves...either a trade, free agent pickup, or draft pick.
the only one i regret is the one with boston.
Weren't there also some very good picks included as well?Quote:

Why would the Raptors want Gasol? PATFO made their bed and have to lie in it. The Raptors pulled of a heist. They were able to do a salary dump of DDR's contract and get better. Also they had no use for Poetl. Now they're relying on Ibaka/JV for center minutes which has helped improve Ibaka's game.
I kept telling people Harris's ability to play off the ball and shoot the 3 was a big deal and no one listened to me. LOL.
DDR seems undersized and I think that is why he fades in the playoffs. God bless him he does the best he can but matchups are tough when going against taller players. I would still take him any day of the week over Kawhitter because Kawhitter is not dependable. DDR has the ideal Spurs work ethic and attitude it is just a shame we can’t put more support around him yet.
Yes, we would’ve been so much better. Covington >> Green And Saric is a future All-Star. PATFO should retire.Quote:

Did they offer us a pick too? I don't remember
Problem with Kemba is that his contract is expiring and he wants a max deal. DeRozan is locked up for 3 years
no, he would just be undersized playing like sf (actually he's one of the biggest sg in the league), fatigue, adjustments and his bad decisions are his problem in the playoffsQuote:
