    Not all DeRozan haters but it’s mainly Kawhi riders.

    I've been calling for this forever
    I like our young core and I think we can do some damage in a couple of years if we keep them together.

    He didn't the bed to the point where he had to be benched... But to say he was "pretty good" is a stretch... He was ok... But shat the bed on cue in game 7 against a young, inexperienced nuggets team... For goodness sakes my guy, ur supposed to be a star level vet!

    Here’s the thing derozen is decent . And if this was the 90’s he’d be a legit star. However the game has changed and he’s out of place.. i mean if he atleast played good d I don’t believe we would complain to much.. but he’s a liability on that end as well. Hoping they trade him for picks

    Spurs fans are perpetual malcontents who found ways to about Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, two of the great players in franchise history. They would about a blowjob from Queen Victoria riding a clone of a T. Rex and take a on a million dollars because they are foul, ed up people with no business talking about basketball much less living much longer than they already have.

    When something goes wrong or as unintended, our deep need to explain what caused the problem to occur is triggered.
    A way of finding cause is to blame someone. This is a surprisingly common approach in organizations where a 'blame culture' assumes someone is at fault for every problem and issue. As a result, people are quick to judge others and equally quick to place responsibility. Even thinking that if we could just change that variable everything would be okay.
    What is easily missed is that most problems are caused by the context or system and not by people.

    SA made the playoffs with no Kawhi and no DeRozan the season before. I think the ceiling is lower without DeRozan but the floor was no different.
    Everything was different. Key injuries and a much weaker bench this season, which would have ing sucked without DeRozan, who played through injuries for the second half of the season.

    I believe DD has had bad coaching most of his career. You don't let a player with his talent be the same year in and year out.
    The Spurs change players so this is a good situation for him. DeMar is NOT on the downside of his career as he is only 29, you can be in your prime between 28 and 32, right?
    At 29, he is probably smart enough to see his flaws and the Spurs don't baby their players so they will let him know how to get better. Remember, he didn't have a summer to work with the Spurs coaching staff and it's hard to make major changes during season.
    It's up to DD to change but being 29 is a great age to change. You can't teach the things he is good at which is awesome but you can teach the things he lacks in which is why I like the guy. He isn't perfect but he is a legit player. Now, if he comes back next season and wants to shoot long 2s all day then he can kiss my booty.

    Honestly? It's because we Spurs fans have been spoiled by having an all-time great playing at a high level on the roster the previous 30+ years.

    DeRozan has flaws and isn't an all-time great but he's better than the ST consensus, tbh.

    Demar Derozan is a borderline all star. With the way these basement dwellers talk you’d think he was Romain Sato.

    Tbh derozen has a higher career scoring average than Duncan , Ginobili , and porker ... why don’t we like him? We don’t have to give a damn reason we just don’t like him.

    derozan is a legit all star level player who is a solid teammate and has bought into the spurs system. his defense is very much improved but inconsistent. also he legit carried this team for a good stretch last year, got hurt then played through it like a soldier despite the negative impacts on his own stats. then led the spurs in almost all basic statistical offensive categories in the playoffs.

    all of this despite learning the spurs system in his first year and mostly playing out of his natural SG position

    derozan isnt kawhi or duncan but he should get more love
    This pretty much, AND he is durable.

    if we were paying him 18 mill I wouldn’t complain it’s his fat paycheck and him refusing to work on his game

    I agree with TIMVP...but one point is that he created an image of himself as a weak personality kind...and that's been supported not only by stats (that could be well not so indicative, like TIMVP said, because of the context) but also by making some obvious mistake about choices like taking unnecessary risks or looking overconfident in his skills...one big example that come to my mind (and will be difficult to delate) is when he lost the game with raptors putting himself in a situation to be raped by n°2...in few words, imho, that's been an excess of pride if you want to call it in a good way, an excess of stubborness and stupidity if you want to call it in an even way, a sign he will always be a loser 'because he will always be unprepared or make the wrong choice in crucial time if you want to call it in a bad way...
    I'm positive on the guy after just one season also if I always disliked his game bacause not only, like TIMVP said, he carried a big part of the load for our team, but also because he looks like a good person and teammate but also someone that could be able to learn from his mistakes...and in this sense one Year in our environment could do wonders for him.
    we will see...
    I like the guy but the jury is still out on him...just have to hope for the best (in this sense he's lucky to be in the best environment for improving).

    He's a regular season player... much like LMA... when the stakes are high and going gets rough, you need to be both mentally tough and sometimes play outside of your comfort zone. Unfortunately, with these guys, the bottom falls out.

    It's disheartening, and it makes it difficult to dream big when your leaders and stars are that kind of guys. They're both very talented, and clearly great players, but they have an obvious ceiling.

    While it's true that Spursfan is spoiled, it's also true that once you tasted the sweet nectar of a championship, the bar is somewhere else. It's tough to be happy with just a first round exit.

    Case in point, watching a lot of fans from other teams here over the years. You can tell they're hopeful to win soon, they feel they have a nice core that can take them there, but Spursfans that have seen championship teams, we can see the flaws they don't see.

    They spin around in this 1st/2nd round exit mode for a few seasons, then eventually fold, tank and go back to the drawing board.

    He's a chucker, and personally I still cannot quite get over his ing about being traded here from Toronto. He is a turd on defense as well. Overrated trash.

    Like so many players, he has plenty of physical tools, except heart and brains

    OP probably thinks Patty Mills is worth 50 million because he's the team barista.

    Basically what El Nono said though. Only kitchen dwellers like TPark celebrate mediocrity.

    If the alternative is the one and only Russell Westbrook aka Russell Westbrook's contract I'm very pleased with DeRozen

    Mr Empty Stats at 21/6/6 while barely posting a net positive. But yeah, he deserves those $27 mil. Most of you dumb s PATFO slurpers will come around once he doesn’t get extended.
