where did you hear that?
Windhorst (who is tied to lebron as a reporter) just asked if the Lakers would be willing to trade the #4 for DDR because the spurs may not want to extend DDR.
where did you hear that?
He was ESPN about 10 minutes ago
hmmm interesting, I highly doubt we consider trading him but none the less if he wants an extension and spurs see him just playing out his current deal there could be some problems brewing
I pretty much agree with that. I also figure that beal would be a target in front of DDR but, they don't have a GM right now so the timing could be interesting. Personally, if I could turn DDR into #4 (hunter) I'm all over it.
LA might be the only place I can see Pop trading DeMar to, since it's home for him and he'd be happy about it instead of getting depressed. He'd probably have a mental breakdown it if he was traded to any other place and I don't think Pop has it in him to do that to such a fragile guy.
I'd do it for the #4 pick, tbh.
There hasn't been a single night since last week where I didn't pray for Pelinka & Co. to be dumb enough to trade #4 for Demar.
I think DeMar would a very good third option. By the last year of LeBron's contract, he could be paired with DeMar and AD, and still keep the best of thee Laker's kids. Wonder if the Spurs would want to contribute to that? It depends on who is there at 4.
I think who is there at 4 is pretty much locked in stone -- anyone other than Zion, Ja and RJ.
Interesting that the Lakers might want DDR -- they always talk about surrounding LeBron with shooters. Could it be they're just desperate to add a "name" to their roster regardless of fit?
I like derozan but I'd pull the trigger for the 4th pick
For a hometown product and probably looking to make some kind of splash to take the bad taste out of their mouths, they might be stupid enough to do it.
No way lakers want derozan
They are the Lakers. The worst FO in the league right now. They earn $500M a year in cable rights for their games. They need to get star power quick and win some games. DDR does that. It's the bigger financial picture they're looking at. They don't want that fountain of money to be turned down or turned off.
If there is anything to that Windhorst blurb, any chance we can get one of the young players thrown in as well?
I doubt it. I would think they'll try and find a way to package them for another player.
Yeah, I don't think PATFO would turn that down if offered. Spurs could still be a playoff team and also have 3 picks to build for the post Pop era.
I’d take anything inside the top 7-8 for Demar, as it likely means clearing out the books in the summer of 2020. Tons of flexibility.
Lakers could trade down and recoup a future pick and get Demar.
I think this might happen I think DEROZZ would like to go back home and would be great
PR for the Flakers and even for the Spurs helping out a good guy get back to La La land. Oh and it would be another jab at KY shipping his ass of to Toronto lol
How would the salaries match with the dream DDR trade?
DeMar is not getting traded after Pop has explicitly told him they traded for him because they wanted him, not because they wanted to get rid of Kawhi. That would look really bad
Not really. I'm sure DeMar would give this particular trade his blessing. Any other trade that wouldn't send him to LA, I'd agree with you.
The Lakers been wanting DeRozan for years. Before he extended his contract with the Raptors there were rumors of the Lakers going after him. I'd love to trade him for the 4th. That would give us plenty of cap space to go after solid free agents. I'm not sure if Pop would ever deal with the Lakers though
Yea wake me up when we get that #4 for demar

He would never deal with them for a game changer like Kawhi but for a loser like DeMar? He better pick up that phone.
