The answer is a RESOUNDING no. No justification for signing him to a longer term. Unless it’s specifically a sign and trade the option is trade him if he exercises his player option or let him walk/sign-and-trade if he does not.

Best case scenario was to sign him to a cheap 3 year deal during the season or before the season started, then trade him for the best deal possible, but rumors say demar and his agent don't want anything less than the max. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Since that seems to be out of the question now, then no.
The best option now is a sign an trade in the off season
sign and trade him.
who is giving him max money?
Not many teams with max money available this summer
He can't shoot 3s and is a bottom 20 defensive player. NO but Pop and RC/brian Wrong will look at his 20 and 5 assist and think he deserves a max contract
naw.
Not exciting. But still something to look at.
4 of those 5 could definitely see throwing money at Derozan
I dont see teams throwing max money but well see. I also dont see spurs getting much back in a sign and trade either
Maybe a trade exception they take on to accept a player down the road? But nothing exciting.... Could see NY or Charlotte potentially giving him an offer. Maybe detroit.
This isn't a yes-on-no thing. DeRozan extending makes sense if the price is right. It doesn't if it's not. People keep trying to make excuses for the young players and indirectly for PATFO's ability to scout and develop prospects. Until they fix that aspect, letting DeRozan go only sets the team up to be horrible for a long time. There's a chance they draft a legit generational player that brings the team back despite a lackluster organization. But way more likely is that they'll just be an overhyped cog in a dysfunctional machine like KAT or Booker. Murray can't dribble because he can't dribble, not because DeRozan is sucking out the dude's handles like an alien in Space Jam. Walker's BBIQ and finishing ability are bad because his film-study and techniques are lacking, not because there are other players on the team who can score. White lacks confidence because that's just who he is. The coaching staff isn't helping for sure, but he worked just fine with DMDR and LMA last year. It's not them hurting him.
If Samanic plays with the big club and shows his same weaknesses next season, are folks going to blame LMA and DeRozan? Probably, because that's just how it is with some fans. I'm not saying that the young guys are hopeless. Far from it. I'm saying they're being brought along poorly, on the court, yes, but more importantly in the gym. At best, they're going to be decent young players on an awful team if you get rid of the only actually good players on the roster. Yeah, getting one or a couple of high picks and nailing them sounds great. But usually teams that win the lottery don't turn it around even to the point where the Spurs were last year. There are much worse things -- much less watchable things -- than being a lower-bracket playoff compe or.
FFF NO! we KNOW he can't win a ring... He couldn't do it in the weak east on a singificantly better team while in his prime! Dude was benched in a game 7 IN HIS PRIME!!! why keep him if we KNOW it's gonna end up in failure? I rather roll the dice on one 9f the young kids... Jokic was a 2nd rounder... Giannis wasn't even top 10... Give the young guys a chance... One may break out... As opposed to going all in with a pair of old guys who don't wanna be here and who we KNOW won't bring us wins... We won't even make the playoffs with these two for Christ sakes
They're already set-up to be horrible for a long time either way, no need to delay the degree to which by catering to a pseudo star/career net negative, who will begin to decline during his next contract and has no chance of sparing them from that plight.
Being scared of the lottery because of (supposedly) inferior organizations failures, is as ridiculous as thinking the answer is staying in the middle and hoping to get historically lucky like the Raptors have in recent years.
I've said it ad nauseam, but this is an emphatic no at all costs.
Out of curiosity, which do you think would not?
Nobody will give him max money, but somebody will overpay him, and pay him much more than I would like to see the Spurs pay.
ATL. Not going to bring in a guy like Derozan there imo.
But all others have a great case
The saying goes when you're in a hole, stop digging. Nowhere is that more apt than the consideration of hitching your wagon to a player who's got a big role on a healthy, 20-29 ball-club.
the hornets are always begging to be fleeced.
demar and the spurs 2020 2nd round pick for batum and the hornets 2020 1st round pick i guess...
spurs dont deserve him tbh
Yeah, but the ceiling with DeRozan is pretty low as we all know.
So, why even bother carrying on with what you know won't get you to a contender status.
If you believe the narrative, MIA wants to keep flexibility for Giannis the next summer so they seem unlikely. Some think that was one of the reasons they were OK moving Winslow now for Iggys shorter deal.
Of the remaining, only one that makes sense is DET. They need to put butts in seats and there is the connection to the coach.
More likely, Spurs work with agent to find a trade partner that gives spurs some value.
CHA DET and NY make a ton of sense. They are not the Spurs. They need even mediocrity now. Getting Derozan on teams like that are huge wins for them.
