Really? The Spurs can trade for a player under contract since they would be under the cap. I said we never signed any major FA besides LA and that was probably because he wanted to be near his kid. Name another top tier FA that we were able to sign, not trade for or draft, but sign.
og anunoby is very promising too but his healthy stays under a question mark. Im not suprised that most of u thought that og is way way way better than siakam if there are people who thinks that derozan>tobias or murray making a huge numbers after acl this season. Og maybe seemed to be better option but only slightly. But it doesnt matter bc raptors are smart and didnt want to include any of these guys.
Can anyone post this article?
Seems derozan wants that extension
If the spurs and Demar can’t come to an agreement, they gotta trade him for whatever I think
Can't see him getting the extension.
No you don't trade him for whatever you let him play out his contact and the if leaves you think him for his services.
So all the ing about letting tobias harris walk for nothing was a bad idea are ok with derozan doing the same?
I never made that claim I'm all for using a asset and then discarding it when it is no longer useful as oppose to trading it in for trash. Now if the Spurs can get a good player on a good contract For Derozan sign me up. However I'm not for trading him for Nic Batum or Robert Covington.
No i didnt mean you sorry just in general.i hope spurs know what they want and either trade derozan this season or prepare for him to use that player option as leverage
Letting him walk for nothing would be suicide for the spurs organization. Next years FA class isn’t very good but even if it was the spurs couldn’t get them to sign with SA. You either sign him to an extension or you trade him for players that you think improve the team
Exactly they have options that they can use if they choose. However I will not be a fan of trading DeRozan for packages around Batum/ Covington.
No doubt batum is trash
we cannot let him go away for nothing!
there are rumors about knicks magic and bulls. But what do u say about trading him to the nets? derozan/metu/keldon and a pick/s for spencer/levert/harris/j allen? i think thats a win win trade. Nets gets big 3 and when durant be back from injury i can see them in east finals easily. Spurs get young very promising guys and an excellent 3pt shooter.

Nets could only take the salaries of Derozan and Metu and draft picks to make the trade work and not to mention the number of contracts the Spurs would have. Other teams would be needed to take players off our current roster. I do admit I like the value of the players you are seeking for San Antonio though.
No to the Nets deal for obvious reasons. If The Bulls are really interested then Porter and a protected pick for DeRozan and Belinelli would work.
It certainly wouldn't be suicide for the Spurs to let him walk, it'll be fine if he did. Re-signing him to trade him involves finding an agreeable number and then there is the issue of finding a team that would value him on a long term deal despite being over 30. Trading him now or letting him walk are the best options.
I am not sure what the love affair for Porter is. He is a serviceable but vastly overpaid SF. He has never been the best or second best player in the team. The Wizard looked awful even when he had a bigger role last year. The Bulls did not improve. DD lead the Raptors to 60 wins.
oh ok, did not know about those salaries bc in trade machine it worked. Sure to make this happen spurs need to get rid of some players to make a room for another contracts but its possible. It would be not an easy trade but definetely worth it.And i do admit that i appreciate that u like my ideas.
agree, porter too expensive. From the bulls id consider only lavine but there is no way that bulls would trade him for dd

I would go after B.Beal as i'm only interested in him even though i know how difficult that would be.
beal isnt bad idea but has some cons. For example 1) to make this happen we have to probably include lots of our picks and some young guys (bc wiz needs to rebuild), 2) we wouldnt get any valuable players , only beal and 3) his at ude...
The attraction to Porter is that both he and DD will likely opt out next summer, but Porter does the things we need: playing D and shooting the 3 ball. If you’re looking for a one year player to roll off next summer, he’s a much better fit than DD. You just need a stopgap for a year while KJ and Luka play in Austin.
We cant afford to a one year player. DD must be traded for someone younger who would help us to build a future. Next year FAs sucks and i dont think whoever want to come to SA so cap space would be useless. Our young guys are pretty good but not good enough to be a contender in future.
The team's future doesn't depend on trading DeRozan. What kind of lunacy is that? At best, they'll get a pick in the 20s or a decent young player. They'll get nothing better than what they could sign or draft themselves.
yes, to some extent it is bc hes the best asset we have and probably the best we will have until our young guys improve.decent young player is better than nothing and its always a small step forward
