" B...but trading for DeRozan was better than trading for Covington, Saric (and probably a draft pick) "
White, Green, Covington, Saric, Aldridge wouldn't be a sub-500 team right now. In fact, they are probably fighting for the first spots the way the West is looking this year. I mean, if the Clippers are up there.
And if they didn't, it doesn't matter. Covington and Saric are better pieces to build with in the future than DeRozan.
