HoopsHype: Spurs' DeMar DeRozan 'possibly could be on the trade block' for Lakers

[BillMc]

Death knell?

Death Nail sounds like a metal band.

Think Windy was speculating, for sure. But it's been reported that they are pessimistic about NO trading AD to them. If that doesn't happen then moving the number 4 and filler to land DeRozan makes some sense.

They'd wait on Kawhi, KD, Kyrie and Butler before anything would happen.

It’s really Kyrie or Butler, no? Does former really come back to play with LBJ, and how does latter fit with him?

To be honest the Lakers’ best move would be to target Beal. Hard to tell what Wiz want, and they need to put butts in stadium seats now, but maybe they can sell the fan base on one of Lakers young guys + 4 + 9 (their pick). Talk about a dumpster fire franchise.

This kind of happens every year where the spurs might be rumored to move up and it never happens, windy just talking out of his ass

[cutewizard]

lebron is the best to play the game but does not have an eye for players. same with jordan but jordan is worse.

Many players would say "HI" to this:

Jordan
Jabbar
Russell
Erving
Magic
Durant
Curry
Olajuwon
Fernandez, Ramon
Samboy Lim

and of course

WILT CHAMBERLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cutewizard]

Chamberlain is beyond Lebron................

Don't want anything on the Lakers other than the #4 pick, and LA won't move that at the draft since DeRozan is a deep backup plan for them if no one wants to join that sinking ship.

#4 (Hunter) for DeMar would be excellent

Derozan sounds like he is here for the long haul folks. During his interview with my sexy black boo thang Cari Champion last week it sounds like him and Pop have a really close relationship. Pop isn’t going to trade someone he is falling in love with if he hasn’t already.

Lebron is apparently pitching Kawhi, though Kawhi may want the Clippers. Kyrie may want to after him and Lebron made up. Butler may get maxed by Phily and traded later. Really hoping DDR is a target but Beal makes more sense. Some combo of #4, Lonzo, and Ingram + Filler for a second star in Beal.

Please Jesus.

God I hope so. Hate this guy in a Spurs jersey as much as I do Nephew pulling his quitting act on us.

If they are down to #4, lonzo, Ingram and filler for beal vs just #4 for DDR and they can still move lonzo and Ingram for someone else then we have a legit shot at seeing DDR traded.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Lebron’s love for Murray might mean Dejonte is the target in a package deal.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

That said, I’d be shocked if the Lakers deal with the Spurs after all Pop has done to keep Kawhi from there and convince NO not to deal Davis to them.

why? It’s not like DeMar breathes the same air as those two.

Definitely bad blood, I assume. But DeMar is from L.A. is a "Big Name Star" and could be the most obtainable if AD is off the table, Washington isn't willing to move Beal (They'd be crazy not to take the #4 pick, Ingram and Ball), Butler re-signs, Kyrie goes to the Knicks or stays, and Kawhi stays or goes to LAC.

I think an equally bigger obstacle would be whether PATFO would trade DeRozan and risk not making the playoffs. He's good but I think the Spurs would still be a playoff team with out him and with Hunter slotted in at the 3.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Nothing to do with DeMar. There’s no way LA will give Pop and the Spurs a chance to draft 4 and make them look even dumber.

I think the Spurs would be fine. Cool if that actually happened.

[buttsR4rebounding]

If that happened the Spurs would have a ton of cap space to play with as well. Even if you resign Gay they would probably have enough to sign both MKG and TYoung.

[therealtruth]

Ya mans George hill says hi

I don't think Pop would have traded him if Coach Bud didn't insist on Leonard.

[J_Paco]

It's possible but that's very rarely how it works with regard to trading draft picks.

I can't even think of a lottery pick being traded after the draft but before the season started. Hmmm....

Does Andrew Wiggins ring a bell?

[cd021]

If that happened the Spurs would have a ton of cap space to play with as well. Even if you resign Gay they would probably have enough to sign both MKG and TYoung.

Why would they want MKG? Hunter seems like he would be the pick, he's already a better player than him. Young is fine but unnecessary.

Murray, Forbes, Hunter, Gay, Aldridge
Mills, White, Belinelli, Bertans, Poeltl


That's probably still a playoff team. If they were to be rid of DDR, then they could really remake the team next off-season.

[buttsR4rebounding]

MKG and Young are 2 players that have been mentioned on this board as Spurs FA targets. The point I am making is that it would make the Spurs significant players in FA.
