Demar won't be the 6th man.
Demar won't be the 6th man.
Demar is taking 3 3pointers a game and he’s 25/5/5 and he can play sg, sf and pf so he has incredible positional versatility. Plus he’s another vet to help out the younglins; for 15Mil wtf is not to like!? Let’s just get him to double his three point attempts and try hard on d?
If the FO goes on thinking next year is a (maybe the last) stealth tanking/improvement year, having two veterans like Paul and DDR makes sense...also because does not compromise our possible packages for a 2025 free agent possible trade (and on the contrary both players could also possibly be traded for more draft capital).
I like Markkanen but not at the point to sacrifice the farm (like Ainge is probably going to ask actually), expecially considering he's just a one year rental (at least at the moment)...in 2025 we have players, cap space and draft capital to trade for whoever we prefer (obviously if available...but a lot of teams are more than probably going to change their plans at the end of next season and some star is more than probably gonna be more than available for the right price).
Its almost totally clear the 2025 summer is the summer of definitive "building the contender" season, where we should have at least 2 lottery picks (our and Atlanta; its clearer and clearer that che Charlotte and Chicago's ones are not conveying and that they are probably never conveiyng, destined as they are to transform themeselves in time in second round choices).
Frankly i'm still a little disappointed we didn't completely exploit the past draft. I understand the wiew for the future but i'm still convinced that would have been a very good idea drafting Edey (number 8 pick) and Buzelis (switching Chicago 2025 draft pick with the 2024, number 11). Imho Edey and Buzelis were both picks worth the risk and were covering holes on the roster (back up big man- possibly starting center whenever Wemby prefers to play forward- and long forward).Plus they would have come with sufficient experience (Edey if a 4 year college guy, Buzelis was playing with mature people in the g league ignite) not to be considered the classical rookie that needs a teacher every 5 seconds.
We'll see, but DDR is not a bad guy, knows the environment and could also decide with Paul to became a long time mentor for a possible outstanting team for some years...
I think any vets the Spurs might add should have to be at least somewhat of a roster fit. Chris Paul is, DDR isn't - not a shooter, not a plus defender, needs the ball in his hands a lot. Apart from him maybe being a mentor type guy, what benefits would there be for the Spurs in signing him?
I assumed this was a possibilityLuckily DeRozan hates it here and wants to go to Miami. Miami doesn't have the cap space though, so we could offer him the most money and it would probably be a one year deal. Makes zero sense spacing wise, but IF we trade for Markkanen (word in the NBA is Spurs made an offer), then it wouldn't be bad because adding Lauri and DeRozan would make us a contender.
Otherwise I hate the idea for all the reasons people mentioned here. Brian Wright is probably thinking he's slick and can do another DeRozan sign and trade next offseason to somehow snag some picks from the Heat.
Even if you believe the Chicago pick doesn’t convey in ‘25, which is definitely not a given since Detroit, Charlotte, Washington, Brooklyn, Portland are all in better position to tank for the next few seasons, that places Chicago with Atlanta, Toronto, San Antonio and Utah as far as being in the 6-10 lottery positions. As the Chicago pick becomes top 8 protected in ‘26 and ‘27 you can’t say this pick is destined never to convey.
De-more I hear it, de-less I like it.
Paul/Vassell/DeRozan/Lauri/Wemby
they could beat anybody, but Tre/Castle/Champagnie/Sochan/Collins would be a hilarious bench line up throwing up bricks left and right
Love watching Demar's offensive post game. Beautiful
Sadly doesn't seem like the best team fit rn
That is some rando ass reporter.
What about signing Derozen and using him as trade bait - for - Rob Dillingham?
wtf are we doing?
Surprised many of the anti-tankers are against this move, but most are right. Definitely makes us a playin team, but would definitely stall castle’s development and lowers our chances at getting a better pick next year. Unless we move keldon in the process, it’s a pass.
Yep - You all wanted free agents to sign - You know ALL the ones who want to play with Wemby
NBA - 2025 NBA Championship for sure!
Please God no …
Vomit. I'd rather Victor blow out a knee.
The good news is he upped his 3PA by a full attempt per game. The bad news is it was still less than three per game, and he only hit 33%. Seems like a pretty unserious move for actually improving the team in the short term.
Got to wonder what the sign in trade would be for in terms of the salary number and what's being sent out in the deal.
My guess is this is kicking the tires/doing DeRozan a proper by showing interest as he's hitting a poor market. If the team truly is interested in Lauri, it's always good to start talking about going to another dealership.
Adding another high level veteran is not a bad idea. I'm less worried about spacing and shooting than I am learning game management and how to win possessions when things get tight. Shooting can be added. Learning from two vets early in this stage is invaluable. CP3 already does this, but why not think about another one?
If DDR came, I'd expect a one-year contract or a second year of player option. I'd expect even more than CP3 that he'd be moved to a destination at the deadline who can't afford him right now. They may even know who is interested already.
Ultimately, though, CP3 is at the very end of his career, came off the bench and played 26 minutes for the Warriors. DeRozan is about five years younger, is looking for a last contract or two, and played 38 minutes last year. This was a 4 mpg jump from previous and was too high for him, imo, but the point is that he'll want time on the court and probably to start. I don't see it as a good fit in the end.
from what I know it wouldn't even have to be a sign and trade. I certainly wouldn't want to give up an asset for one year of DeMar DeRozan. If CP3 hasn't signed yet we have about 14 million in cap space. Waive Devonte Graham and it's 24 million. Anybody else can just offer him MLE money.
! I thought I was rid of watching this scrub. I don’t want this loser anywhere near Wemby.
Wow the meltdown here is hilarious. I love ddr and would welcome him back. Lol at comparing him to Bryn, really? Yall are crazy!
he actually shot well from the corners last season
