Because we are out of our minds.
Scores more efficiently than DeRozan from two & three, spaces the floor better, lower usage rate, fewer turnovers... in every way, a better fit.

I wouldn't want to pay DeRozan money for him, that's why I said 'package' - Bojan + someone (& maybe a pick) if the Pacers don't want to lose him for nothing (& want DeRozan). I have no idea whether they would, just asking.
The dude just turned 30. He'd have to get a really, really big contract to think he can't still be okay on it at age 33. If the options are $60M/4 or $54M/3, I'm perfectly fine with the former. Yeah, something like $80M/4 wouldn't be fun at all. But I don't think anyone goes four-years unless they do so to limit his APY. He's good and will have suitors, but I don't really think he's going to draw a true bidding war with cap-space teams.
Oldadipo is set to miss half the season. Maybe DD can fill their SG/SF needs....
Until Oladipo comes back full strength. Demar can decline his option and then the Pacers are free...
Thaddeus Young is old enough to be Spur

Bertans Belinelli works and you don’t give up DeRozan. Bertans is small ball 4 spaces the floor for Turner and Oladipo. Belinelli veteran white guy off the bench. Indiana might give it pause if they don’t want to lose Bogdanovic for nothing.
“”I’ve heard Bojan linked with the Spurs a month ago” IMo that means Bojan wants to come as welll.
If we somehow get Bojan, We Stacked!!
Especially without giving up demar
-1.7 career BPM. '18-'19 was first season he wasn't negative (0.0).
Yeah, no chance for locker room friction there. 🌋
I think he’s good but I’m not gaga over him. He’s never really stood out as a difference maker to me. Don’t know how to feel about it honestly.
If it’s a S&T for Bertans + Beli ok, but if DeRozan is gone? I don’t know if 4 years of him with the young core is ideal.
You thought DeMar was suicidal moving to SA. Wait until they send his ass to Indy. PATFO might be held accountable for his death.
I'm all for adding this guy for the right price but as a swap or trade he's not as much of an upgrade over DeMar that everyone thinks he is. This guy's put together basically 1 good season and he's what... 30. Not against it, just not in love with it.
I know we all on the Pau and patty mills contracts as we should lol but maybe more players in the NBA know that if you come to the spurs they’ll take care of you even after you’re past your prime lol like maybe we sign Bojan 3 years/27 million (MLE) then after that contract give him a 2 year deal where he makes up the money he would have got??
3/54 imo minimum for him. Maybe 4/65+
He would be a good Marco replacement
If they lose Bogdanovic for nothing, they just gonna say: "well it could have been worse, we could have end up with Bertans and Bellinelli"
54/3 unguaranted 3rd year?
What about 40/2? It'll allow White, Murray, Walker, Forbes, Samanic, Johnson, and Weatherspoon to develop their game with a legit 3 point threat. Vs a turnover prone, no 3, minimal defense net negative. Front load it and when Bog is 32 he'll probably still command 10MM a year.
Something in that ballpark, ya.
The Spurs can't trade Bertans + Belli for one player, because they made 36% of the Spurs' 3-pointers combined. They made about 145 3-pointers each, and Bojan made 164 (the most of his career). The Spurs just can't afford to lose that much firepower at the 3P line.
I'm just saying - the Spurs cannot use Belli + Bertans in a 2-for-1 swap, unless they have a plan for picking up another substantial 3-point shooter. And they would have to have that player locked up first, because they can't take a chance on being that weak from outside.
I would do DeRozan for Bogdanovic in half a heartbeat, tbh.
Murray, White, Bogdanovic, 3 and D guy, Aldridge.
That's a much better fit than a DeRozan lineup. Pretty much every wing that can playmake a little and shoot the 3ball is a better fit than DeRozan, tbh.
When you factor in that Bryn + White + Lonnie will make more 3s + play better defense? I think you can.
But one note - the path to clear cap space is really EASY for SA if a S&T doesn’t work. They just have to be willing to let Rudy walk.
If they do that all it takes is salary dumping Beli + Bertans (which they could likely get a little asset for both in form of 2nd rounder) and Sa can get to 18M~ in cap space very easily
