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

[duncan2k5]

I'd trade DDR for a second round pick at this point

Really? Come on man stop being so dramatic. Lmao

[Ignazzz]

More fair deal:

3way

ATL 4th and 29th
SPURS 8th
LAKERS 10th and DDR

[Ignazzz]

And use freespace for... Leonard

When this was brought up in an earlier thread, my heart skipped a beat and I got a bit excited. I am embarrassed now that I realize I have fallen for the annual off-season, "every player in the NBA is going to the Lakers" story. I don't think there is anything there. And, I don't hate on DeRozan, I just don't think he is the best fit with the players surrounding him.

If that happens, Spurs should go after Randle. He's working on the 3-ball already and is on the same timeline of our young guys. Would be the perfect 4

If this trade happens, it means we traded Kawhi and Green for Poetl, 2019 #4 and 2019 #29.

That takes a little sting off the worst trade the Spurs have ever made.

Look at it this way, the Spurs traded the 26th pick in the 2008 draft (George Hill) for all of that.

[Keepin' it real]

B-b-but Spurs would NEVER trade with the Lakers, or so we've been told.

this is the worst trade the Spurs have ever made regardless. Trading DDR for #4 would at least create cap space to add 2 good players to the team besides the draft pick

It is absolutely the WORST trade the Spurs have ever made. Ultimately it may make the Top 10 Worst NBA Trades ever made.

would never trade with lakers, now they want to trade with lakers?

lol patfo with the double standard

[Spurs fever]

This will never happen. Pop probably already swore allegiance to DeRozan right after the trade. If any of the stars are traded I'd bet it's LA. Just a gut feeling.

nah the Spurs wouldn't trade an elite franchise player to the Lakers, DDR on the other hand is a horse of a different color, I would take #4 and a player if they take Patty as well.

[dbestpro]

tbh is Toronto wins it all and Kawhi walks they actually may be more interested in taking DDR back just to keep fans interested.

The most dysfunctional organization in NBA can still get Lebron and any free agent they want, whereas Spurs, the most respected organization in the NBA with 20 years of no dysfunction (sans nephew), can't get . We can laugh at Lakers all we want, but at their worst, they're still a marquee destination. You gotta be a genuine re to up the Lakers like Short Bus siblings did/are doing, but they still won't need to even consider DePression.

[Realdeal1]

I can see kahwi ringing with Toronto .. leaving to LA .. and then derozan returning to the raptors

This.

One of the reason why LMA signed here because of his son. Maybe because he's from Texas as well but meh.

[RC_Drunkford]

The Raptors don't have anything I would want to match DeRozan's salary. Siakam and OG are still on rookie deals

[DMC]

Aldridge and DDR for Lonzo Ball and a pick.

You're living in the past. The Lakers haven't been as you've describe in probably a decade. LeBron didn't go there for basketball, he went there to launch his second career (Hollywood) now that his first one is winding down. They struck out with PG, and they'll strike out this summer with Kawhi, and they won't get AD, either. Tampering with an organization's players tends to piss off that organization, and make them not trade with you. That #4 pick isn't all that appetizing to the team that has #1, either.

Windhorst is a mouthpiece for Klutch. If he's saying it, it's the path that Klutch/LeBron wants the Lakers to take. LeBron probably came up a crapper in his recruiting trip to Philly to talk to Load Management during the playoffs.

I never said LeBron went there for basketball. It's a terribly run organization. Of course its not why he went. The fact is Lakers got LeBron. You can spin it however you like. I agree they'll strike out with Kawhi, but other FA playing with LeBron in Los Angeles? Sounds enticing even if it's Short Bus Lakers. As for AD, idk if Pels will trade to LA, but it's a definite possibility. The point is Lakers are still in Los Angeles and have a standing legacy. The name still has meaning, but more than that the city and market will bring players. Now that LeBron is there, won't be surprised if big names show up.
