HoopsHype: Spurs' DeMar DeRozan 'possibly could be on the trade block' for Lakers

[sasaint]

no team wants the Derozan contract, and especially the Derozan's game style.

I don't entirely agree. Not every team is playing like the Warriors and Rockets. After all, the Spurs were not dead last in 3-pointers last season.

If we could trade DeMar for a top pick I’m all for it but... you can’t deny a guy that averages 21, 6, and 6 is valuable

no contract is unmovable tbh.

the thing is, that the only non-3-point shooters on the team were DeRozan and Poeltl. Pop stated many times that they built this roster for Kawhi. So initially everybody in the rotation would've been a 3-pont shooter except for DJ if he stayed healthy. I don't think it was the plan to shoot such a low volume

Actually i see the Spurs trading DD back to the Raptors next year for a 1st round pick after Kawhi leaves them this summer. This, if the Spurs are another first round exit. Even without Kawhi they’l make the playoffs and have a 22-24 first round pick.

Damaged goods. He didn’t even finish the season.

Okay. But the point is: there are other teams that still play a more "traditional" (for lack of a better word) style. Dumbmar has value. Not great value, but value.

John Wall may make the counter argument here..
