Kinda of hoping for a deal with the Magic: DeRozan and Belinelli for Gordon, Augustine, and a lottery protected pick (currently the 17th pick)

He could threaten to opt out if he doesn't like the team he'd be traded too. Its hard to see him opting out given that most of the teams with cap in the off-season are rebuilding.The Spurs have been exploring the market for DeMar DeRozan, but a source with knowledge of his situation is quick to point out that the free-agent-to-be has a significant influence on the situation here too.

What a useless article. It says this below that:
Meanwhile, there remains the possibility that he could sign an extension to remain in San Antonio (I reported in October that the sides were far apart, but those talks aren’t dead). With the Spurs somehow still in position to set a new NBA record by securing their 23rd consecutive playoff berth, DeRozan is leading the team in scoring (21.7 points per game) and assists (4.9 per).
We need to see Walker 30 plus minutes per game before trading DDR.
Problem is our front office always wants too much to make trades happen.
With Derozan's one year player option that possibility has to be on the table should he decide to opt in. Instead if we can sign him to a team friendly longer contract mext year's trade value for DeRozan might go up.
Sorry DeMar, your new deal will get in the way of Brent's new deal. He's too wonderful to part with.
I seriously fear this if DD is moved or walks in FA.
DDR has been legit good this season, and the Spurs are basically tied for 8th in the West. I'd be shocked if PATFO traded DeRozan but its worth taking a look around.
I think PATFO and a sizable chunk of the local fanbase have demonstrated that they are more than satisfied with low playoff seeds and a 1st round exit.![]()
Close to 0% chance the FO is smart enough to make a move tbh.
Spurs Marketing has plans for a press release for a big announcement on Wed. Will update with more details as my sources find out.
This sucks. This stretch was good enough to keep Sa with a losing record but still in the 8th spot. But PATFO knows they can’t invest in this team to try and improve and won’t make a trade to go the other way.
So neutral it is.
It's the good Amick making the report... Interesting. I still don't think a trade is likely but the fact that he's being shopped is a good sign. Getting rid of DeMar would ensure a better draft pick, and if LMA keeps improving that 3-ball game he's also a valuable asset on a not-so-large contract. Will the FO pull the trigger?
Like i said derozan holds all the power with that player option. Unless its a team he wants to go to not much will probably be offered for a percieved rental.The time to move him was last season
What do you mean by "rental?" Any team that has him could offer him a contract.
Or do you mean the Spurs would only trade him to a team he doesn't like? What makes you think so?
Well unless that team is willing to give him the max ( like the Tobias Harris deal from last year ), then he might as well be a rental because he can sign for any team he wants in the summer. He's not picking up that option and he will get paid, especially in such a bad FA summer. All of this decreases his trade value.
A player not under contract can sign for any team. So what?
Yeah, players get paid to play. And?He's not picking up that option and he will get paid, especially in such a bad FA summer. All of this decreases his trade value.
Your theory is that it decreases a player's trade value when he wants to be paid for playing. Lol
(Hint: they all expect to be paid. In fact, it's a legal requirement.)
The question I asked stands. Why do you imagine the Spurs would only trade DDR to a team he doesn't want to play for?
This is looking more and more like the Spurs should have taken the Lakers deal instead of Raptors for Kawhi. Ingram, Ball around is better than getting peanuts for DeMar.
They would’ve been in the G league getting over themselves and paying their dues.

To be fair, Ingram was a really bad NBA during his first 2 seasons, it was hard to see him not being a bust.
truth nuke. team is ing garbage with him anyway
I still say Detroit is a possibility as well as the Bulls tbh. I can see them convincing themselves that a Lavine DeRozan pair would be a good pitch to AD
People need to stop repeating this . Even Magic came out and said that was never the offer. The offer was Kuz, Hart, and a pick.
If Detroit weren't shopping Drummond, then I would be higher on them. They are also 4.5 games back of eighth and the Spurs will likely demand a 1st back for DeRozan and I don't think Detroit would give up a lottery pick to get him.
Otto Porter and a 1st would make sense but Porter has been injured for most of this season and Chicago is as a far back as Detroit is. Spurs probably aren't getting a lottery pick back for DDR.
Orlando remains as the best trade partner. Gordon, Augustine and their 1st rounder (currently 17th) for DeRozan and Belinelli works
