Even if Walker looks like Donovan Mitc this season and can put up 20 points every game I'd keep DeRozan. All this team needs is a starting caliber 3-and-D SF to be a top team in the west
Markanen is untouchable.

Can you name the (at least) ten guys on this list that DeRozan is better than?
Kawhi Leonard
Steph Curry
Giannis Antekutoumpo
Anthony Davis
Paul George
Damian Lillard
James Harden
Russell Westbrook
Nikola Jokic
Klay Thompson
Kyrie Irving
Joel Embiid
Pascal Siakam
Jimmy Butler
Ben Simmons
Lamarcus Aldridge
Victor Oladipo
Bradley Beal
Kemba Walker
Luka Doncic
Blake Griffin
Mike Conley
CJ McCollum
Donovan Mitc
Not sure I get it. So why keep the no3-and-noD starting SF?
Bulter, Mitc , McCollum, Doncic, Oladipo,
That's about it.
all of them are better than DeRozan
depth that's why. Spurs have an advantage against any team in the West with a 2 guard pairing as their go-to guys. That includes Warriors, Blazers, Jazz, Rockets. White and Murray can lock any guard pairing down. Now the LA teams have forwards so Spurs would need another SF to throw at Kawhi, PG, LeGM.
But the main weakness of those LA teams is depth. If you ask me there's a good chance that Walker can be the same offensive threat that DeRozan is by the end of the season. But why trade one when you could have both? That would give every team with a bad bench of a problem. The Spurs should bet on depth and internal improvement. This could be a deep and very balanced team kind of like in 2014
No, it really wouldn't. Oubre and Morris were afterthoughts and got $15 Million. Jamaal Murray got $34 Million. $25 Million is just the price of doing business for good players coming off rookie deals.lol what?! You expect Murray to make 25 millions per year?
I hope that's the case, tbh. It would mean he became an all-star.
Flawed premise. You’re assuming some sort of steady state with both DeRozan, and the youngsters. The latter are much more developed and ready to step forward than they were last year.
It’s always been my thought that DD and LMA were just a bridge to the future, a way to stay a winning, playoff team while developing the new core.
I also think that any return from a potential trade of DD should be short term. We now have forwards in the pipeline, KJ and Luka, but they’ll need a year in Austin. OPJ would be perfect. He defends and shoots the three ball, and will almost certainly opt out next summer, so he won’t get in the way of your development pipeline.
didn't somebody here say Spurs inquired about Fournier? I could see something like DeRozan + Belinelli for Gordon + Fournier. Wouldn't want anything the Pistons got.
A trade with the Bulls would have to involve either Porter or LaVine (doubt that).
How about something like:
TOR: DeRozan, Noel, Spurs 2nd
OKC: Ibaka, Belinelli, Toronto 1st
SAS: Gallinari, OG Anunoby, Clippers 1st
OKC says no, but otherwise pretty solid for Spurs and Tor.
Raps give up another 1st and OG to take DDR back? OKC gives us a first for some reason. Don't think that trade makes sense.
Why not Ibaka and a 1st for DDR? That would be a simpler trade.
Straight to the Spurs? We miss the playoffs with that.
yes exactly this
Not nearly enough for DDR
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y4cyo385
Bulls get: DeRozan, Augustine
Magic get: Bulls 1st, Spurs 1st, Dunn, Mills, Marco
Spurs get: Otto, Gordon
starting 5:
White
Murray
Otto
Gordon
Aldridge
Incoming cryptic betrayal IG from DeMar....
OPJ. Perfect fit.
If you think that 2 out of 3 of Dejounte, White, or Lonnie has a chance at being above average to All-Star level, there are very few players in the league that are a worse fit next to them than Demar Derozan tbh.
Just.
Stop.
I don't why this is even being talked about. The Tweet stated that teams called the Spurs inquiring about DeRozan that doesn't mean he's getting traded in fact it means quite the opposite. I f the Spurs wanted to trade DeRozan they would have done it during free agency or during the draft not in middle of the summer. They only traded Kawhi in mid July because he wanted out and they had no choice. I'm not sure that if there wasn't rift between Kawhi and the Spurs that they would have traded as opposed to letting his contact expire.
Nah. Things are fun right now with speculation and false hope. Things will get really boring after the season starts and the spurs haven’t traded DeRozan. And everyone realizes the spurs will be a 7-9 seed. But that hasn’t happened yet so hope people propose a ton of trades and have fun
False...
