You could even play the the 3 young guards with a Blake/LMA frontcourt. It'd be nice tbh, not a lot of teams in the West could match up with that.
Yeah, just letting DeRozan walk and trying to entice a FA to sign with SA with the cap space won't end well. Spurs would have to overpay someone to get them to SA.
I'd be good with a mills+derozan for griffin deal. Only worry is injuries but he played 75 games last year. Maybe his injuries are behind him.
They're not trading Griffin. If they're trading for Derozan it's to play with Griffin/Drummond not to replace him with a lesser talent. His contract isn't great but he's still a very good player and Detroit needs someone to sell tickets
Awesome, so we've traded DDR, Bellinelli, Metu ... who else???!!!

Yeah, Detroit was really bringing in the masses as they finished 24th in attendance last year tbh.
I don't love Griffin but he's undeniably a better fit on the roster than Derozan is. He's a good fit alongside LA plus the young guards. He's a much better and more willing 3pt shooter and can play off the PnR unlike Demar.
Sure, he can't defend the wings in the West but neither can Derozan and Blake is a tougher cover for the Nephews, Paul Georges, etc....
You can argue on why the Pistons would do that trade but maybe with Casey there and Derozan potentially only on the books for one more season, there's a case to be made they pull the trigger...
not a big blake fan but would easily trade ddr for him.
la would get jealous though tbh... this roster with blake instead of demar would yield one all star... la would would be jealous of blake making it over him.
it's really who shouldn't the spurs trade for demar TBH.
if nothing else:
alexander's is value is way higher than gallo's. yeah, cp3 would be overpaid but put cp3 + alexander's salary together and then divide by two. he's listed as a PG but is 6'6" and can be a point forward.
cp3 / white
murray / walker
alexander / carroll
alexander will be an all star before any spurs guard.
i watched around half of the warriors-clips series, the dude is solid.
i'll throw in a draft pick.
Don’t Spurs already have 3 guards at 6’6”ish? Then we add Alexander and CP3 to run circles around LeBron? Hmmif nothing else:

cp3 & alexander for $40 million > demar & patty for $40 millionDon’t Spurs already have 3 guards at 6’6”ish? Then we add Alexander and CP3 to run circles around LeBron? Hmm
OKC is also aware of that.
likely. but okc could buy patty out (and bell if they really wanted) to save more money / ultimately turn westbrook into the rockets’ picks + demar (who might opt out a year early) + a spurs’ pick.
I don't know, superstars don't but I could see the Spurs having a chance to land Jaylen Brown in 2020. He doesn't seem too happy in Boston. Celtics would most likely match the offer, but depending on how much it is I think Spurs might have a chance to land him
griffin is the same caliber player as derozan but hes more injury prone and way more expensive so imo derozan>griffin
u guys didnt want to have westbrook but cp3 is ok? taking cp3 with this ty contract would be the worst move in a history of spurs organization. Yeah alexander is a great young player but do we need another guard? i dont think so.
It's always funny to me how u guys can insult, but never put anything on the line... If u so firmly believe you know Murray will grab at least seven rebounds a game over the course of the season, put something on the line or STFU
Griffin a much better fit than DDR and raises our ceiling higher because the spacing would be much better, and Blake is harder to guard for opponents than DDR
A starting lineup of Murray, White (or Carroll), Gay (or Carroll), Griffin and (sigh) LMA would be formidable (IF LMA doesn't start pouting when Blake starts beasting)
maybe but hes not worth that money imho
If Pistons are trading Blake, they are rebuilding.
They would only want DeMar if they keep Blake and Drummond.
Bottom line, Murray/White/Carroll/Blake/Aldridge can compete with anyone. I can’t say the same with Derozan in the lineup.
I think they'd move Drummond and keep Griffin and DDR.
In the summers of 2020 and 2021 we will have to re-sign Murray and White and possibly Poeltl and maybe Forbes.
How much flexibility will we have to do those things+fill out the roster with other role players+go after a starting SF with an almost 40mil$ contract in the books till 2022.
That's my concern actually.I know we can't get Giannis for example in 2021 Free Agency,but how much of a burden will that contract be when dealing with the other needed pieces to sign.
And of course,Griffin is a better fit than DeRozan with our current guard talent and rotation,that's a given.
thats what i was talking about, hes too expensive
