DeRozan would be a lot more tolerable if he wasn't on the floor with midget non-defending 2 guards.
I wouldn't be so quick to say this. If the Spurs run their offense consistently like they did against the Pistons the DeRozan/Aldridge combo might work. DeRozan is not clutch and not a good defender, but if you use him as a playmaker he can be pretty efficient. Let him score in the paint and dish out when he sucks in the defense

If you have PG and SF that are excellent defenders and 3pt shooters they could mask some of DDR’s deficiencies but you shouldn’t have to do that for your highest paid player
I'm not saying max him out, but if this offense works and the team starts to get over 0.500 they should try to upgrade at SG and PF to improve the defense and see how this season pans out
Just saying if you go with this philosophy then DDR at SG and a 3D SF who guards and is bigger would be even better.
See ya Forbes.
True, but even a taller SG like Bogdanovic would already improve the defense considering Forbes' height
I still say derozan opts in and plays out his curent deal.Spurs will run this back next season when lma and ddr will finally expire
Thats the most likely outcome tbh. It would be better than re-signing him.
hopefully they dont max him and trade his ass
chucking to get his stats to ruin the offense is not good...
i think walker is already better then this scrub
Why would OKC give up their future star for that platter of trashfirst spurs-okc proposal of mine from august. people thought this would be bad for the spurs
i was willing to give up three draft picks for SGA... would've been worth it.

Orlando is losing to ATL in ORL without Trae - let’s see if that holds with 3:30 left. But might be something that spurs them on to make a move...
they've been in free fall lately and were one of the teams actually with interest in him. they may be our best trading partner, too bad most of their roster is pretty underwhelming
True but you can see a scenario where SA walks away happy (Gordon, Mo Bamba, picks, 3-team deal). Nothing that will make you say “wow” but some packages that give you a shot at something decent/younger.
Wish spurs could of pryed away fournier with gordon before he blew up
Pay him more than lma. Lma is a bum
Isn’t he already making more than LMA?
"Shouldn't have to" is sort of beside the point. I agree with you, but here we are.
It would be nice to have a 1 and a 2 that were both also excellent defenders. But I think you could hide DeRozan well enough with some mid-range defenders. By well enough, I mean that his offensive firepower could more than compensate for his defensive shortcomings. When he's out there with Bryn, it's just a fire drill for opposing offenses.
that was before his stock was high as it is now. i've known the spurs can't acquire SGA for a while now.Why would OKC give up their future star for that platter of trash
Bum = future HOF, LMAO.
that's not even the main issue though. Spurs would not only need a good defensive wing, but he would also have to be a dead-eye high-volume 3-point shooter. That's why Forbes is starting. Somebody like Bogdanovic would already improve things, although he's a mediocre defender, but he's taller than Bryn. I'd love to get Joe Harris in free agency, but the Spurs won't have the money for him unless DeRozan opts out. Don't know if there is anybody else on the market who fits that profile
Maybe wolves would trade Covington for Beli and Forbes so that they can retool next summer, once they decided that they cannot make the PO.
They can certainly get a better package than that. 2020 free agency class is weak, so I doubt they would look for cap space. They probably want a pick back, Covington is on a very team friendly deal. I think for the Spurs to get a starting caliber player back, they will have to attach their first round pick
Which probably is OK as the upcoming draft is seen as weak and Spurs had too many young players competing for places.
yeah I'm thinking if they would be willing to trade that pick. I don't know much about the upcoming draft class, but since this is a rebuild on the fly I assume they would rather keep the pick. They certainly need to upgrade one of the spots in the starting line up either at SG or at one of the forward spots
Jesus. Extending him is a real possibility.
