If he can't even lead us to the playoffs, what's the point in keeping him? In hopes that the team gets better by time he is 35? He couldn't even do good in the playoffs in a trash ass east
Wow... Ppl are seriously considering signing a 32 year old DeMar to another contract? The guy who can't even lead us to the playoffs in a weakened west for 2 str8 years? The guy who has shown his ENTIRE career that he can't be depended on? The guy who has a game where he doesn't actually make ppl around him better because he is only effective WITH the ball in his hand, so he essentially turns everyone he plays with into spot up shooters? He sucks the development time from young players with that style because no one else can grow their game at a significant pace while playing with him...we really gonna do this again? Throughout NBA history there have been many teams without a star that became good to great teams...there have also been teams that got better by giving away their "star" only to find out that a player once looked over as a roleplayer had star potential once they have the opportunity...get him the outta here

Dude played 15 minutes or less in 7 outta his first 10 games. But oh well technically that is getting "consistent" minutes. Maybe he never recovered from getting that Covid? Who knows. But he has played like dog regardless
He had that and as soon as he was traded, they won a le.
How about Phoenix. They built that team with a few tank seasons.
A good example - 10 years of missing the playoffs, tanking, bad draft picks and terrible to watch.
Let's see how they fare against Lakers before calling them a contender. A cute regular season team though, sure.
Good riddance, Demar. Close this thread.
They didn't tank for ten years. They were a treadmill team half that time just like the DePression Spurs.
DDR is devoid of that champions gene/killer instinct.
Big off season.....hopefully we right the damn ship!
DeRozen needed to have a really good offensive game for the spurs to win. He got some points but mostly empty points, typical playoff game for him. He'll be somewhere else next year. Anyone for trading or drafting a shooting guard? Rudy had a decent last game though, at least you know he really tried.
Derozan and the Spurs are like a bad marriage. The longer it goes, the more toxic the relationship. The Spurs' really problem is their FO decision making. If we don't get new people in place with an actual winning strategy in today's NBA, we're going to become the Clippers of the 90s. I don't consider 32-39 and 33-40 staying 'compe ive'.
So agree with you on this! In the 44 year history of the Spurs in the NBA, prior to these past 2 seasons, the Spurs made the playoffs 40 times!!!. 3 of the years they missed, 2 were when they drafted David Robinson and Sean Elliott, and waited on David to complete his service time, and 1996-7 season before drafting TD. That's compe ive!!! This garbage that has been trucked out for 2 seasons disgraces what those other teams accomplished in truly being compe ive and earning a playoff spot!!
Hopefully that put a nail in the DDR era. This thread should age well
