A fun reminder: if the Spurs did a Sign and Trade for DDR, it means that it’s a 3-year contract. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?
DDR isn't awful in a vacuum, but on this Spurs team doesn't feel like progress and I think the Spurs fans have bought into the rebuild, not the rewind.

demar definitely wants security so f dat
DO NOT WANT! Not anything against Dmar personally and I have always like watching him play but having him is just a reminder of when things started going south, plus I think he is a terrible fit with Wemby. Although it would be a bit more considerable if we already had a plethora of shooters on this team and we are far from that.
Wemby would function best on a moving offense so hopefully we stay a way from ISO ball.
He has always shown that he is capable of making when he takes them (even when he was here) but for some odd reason he never likes shooting them. Don't know if it's always a mental thing with him or what but it's just strange.
Honestly Wenbanyama would love playing with all these vets but Spurs have young players to think about so it’s a delicate situation. I still want to give Blake Wesley a shot at some point gaurd minutes. Hoping he eventually surpasses Tre.
He can't shoot. We have people to do the other stuff he does. He has never won anything.
No.
the problem with DeRozan is that your team is probably better with a 3-and-D wing who averages 12 PPG than DeRozan, cause you'll get better spacing and he'll give up 8-10 less points which gets you to DeMar's scoring average.
Bene come on bro... what's with the bad news?![]()
If they're going for DeRozan, they're probably going for leadership and learning rather than finishing off a team of players they don't feel are quite ready. That's what Paul does, helps the kid learn, with fit taking a bit of a backseat.
DDR/CP3 + Wemby pick and roll would be deadly
Sign him, you guys are acting as if this team has any talent. Any time you can get talent that fits your culture, you do it then figure it out. The footwork alone that he could teach the young players is more than worth it.
no get that traffic cone away from our team
For the love of God no.
How many players is Wemby gonna have to save of defense?? You wanna know the sure fire way to piss him off long term? It’s that.
Yet people are desperate to get Lauri Markkanen. Not just for one year, but longterm.
CP3/Vassell/Castle/Lauri/Wemby lineup would be perfectly fine defensively…that’s not some crazy burden on Victor at all in terms of making up for bad defenders.
DeMar could be a great defender and I’d still have no interest in him at all. We need shooting.
People here are ridiculous. With Wemby on the floor we are a top 5 defense regardless of who else is there. That said, Vassel is a pretty good defender and Castle will likely be a stud. We need shooting and playmaking. DDR is not a top option, but if he’s your third or 4th option, that’s pretty awesome. Not many players could follow Kawhi. It was ridiculous to expect that of him. But I always thought he was fun to watch on the Spurs and yes, we weren’t that great a team but he was our best player while here.
Lauri Markkanen is a very poor defender, there's no two ways about it. Certainly Castle and Sochan can do a lot, and having Wembanyama behind him is a massive plus, but there's no mistaking the fact that he's terrible and this will be an issue.
Yeah I just disagree with you there. He’s a slightly below average defender…obviously it’s not a strength of his, but he’s not some terrible defender who is going to hold back your entire team defense. I have no questions that we could form a very strong defense even with him being part of the lineup.
Regardless, don’t want to derail the DeRozan thread with more Markannen talkI mainly just want to emphasize that DDR’s lack of fit here has far more to do with his offensive game than it does his mediocre defense IMO.
Do we have room for CP3, Mark, and Demar??
Sochan would start over Castle so Castle gould run point on 2nd team lineup or sub for CP3 on the first team given Paul is ancient
You dont have to convince me man . . .
Yes he is very offensively talented but he is a huge ball stopper
Wrong. Due to his off ball limitations, he has to be the number one option, which yields a low ceiling.
That's the problem with him, is his lack of secondary skills (3 and D) to slot into a more ideal role on a good team.
It's why every DeRozan team is basically a variation of the same thing.
yes cause Markkanen makes less than Keldon Johnson. We can waive or trade Graham, sign DeRozan, trade Keldon for Markkanen and sign CP3 with the MLE or whatever. Definitely possible. And we'd still have Zach Collins and Tre Jones on the books for another 27 million.
