Report: Orlando Magic Interested in Demar Derozan...

[FkLA]

Those calls against Gordon were bad calls. Very questionable. Gordon makes more sense in the starting lineup than DeRozan if you're keeping Aldridge. Slide White into the starting 2 slot.

You hearing anything brah?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Gordon sucks, low iq chucker... If Spurs fans are frustrated with Derozan they'd kill themselves with Gordon. Spurs should throw in LWIV and get Isaac tbh..

Forget the push offs and everything else. Those are truth nukes. If all we get from DDR is another year of bad salary cap, it would be better to just play it out and let him go. At least then the Spurs could get about the business of building a winner.

[TimDunkem]

Gordon sucks? He might be one of the more versatile defenders in the league and fills a need.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Yeah but nothing is going to happen.

Let's see how many of us this inevitably awful, trade-less season drives to suicide by the end lol

Mo Bamba?

Can't be worse than the mass suicide that will be caused when DeRozan inevitably gets extended.

Magic fans are in favor of trading for DD at 65% in this poll.

[lmbebo]

Unless a 1st round pick added, not sure a great trade ...

[Mugen]

I would literally take back anything from Orlando to move Derozan. It could be 2 Epcot annual passes for Pop and Patty and I'd call it a slam dunk for the Spurs.

go Pop

So many want Demar traded just to be rid of him, but you need something back, otherwise you're just losing an asset. And Orlando really has nothing I'd want. Gordon has hit his ceiling. Fultz...meh, especially at the price. Tons of picks (since Orlando will probably suck again soon) is really only what I'd want to see. But you still need bodies for the salary exchange.

This won't happen tbh

But it would be cool if it did

Gordon is flawed, but at worst he’s a much better fit than DeRozan with his abilities in transition. Best case? He improves his shooting, provides a lot more lineup versatility and allows LMA to regain form and he’s on a Rudy Gay type deal for his talents. His deal DECLINES every year which is even better.

Addition by subtraction, man. It's like how Ewing was still an ok player in 1999 but the Knicks were better off when he went down so Camby could take his minutes. Same here with DeRozan vs White.

Could be Spurs fans rigging the ballot box?

[SAGirl]

I also personally believe that a trade would happen well before the deadline if it’s going to happen. I think Pop will be reluctant but if Gordon is actually put on the table, they would want as much time as possible to gel and try to make the playoffs still.

But it’s going to take some more losses I think before Pop signs off on anything.

Part of me hopes this happens ASAP bc right now there aren't any injuries... downside to postponing things like this if there is something possible/interesting is any injury can derail it.

[Degoat]

Some people may not like this but I wouldn’t hesitate to throw Lonnie in the deal with him, I like what I’m seeing from Keldon Johnson in the g league he had another 20 point game

DDR plays SF and PF, while White is a PG/SG. DDR doesn't take any of his minutes.

[Spurs9]

1 Mo Bamba plz

[Thomas82]

If I'm PATFO, I would try to get Bamba.

[paperboy77]

I’d rather it was LA. LA for Gordon. I guess if DD goes LA might quit being such a wuss. DD forGordan would be an early Christmas for sure.... add Beli to that....!

As I said in the off season, it's a no brainer and if it happens, it's all but certain that Gordon will be the centerpiece of the return. Beyond that, there's various combinations to make the salaries work, as well as the possibility of adding a third team.

The easiest one is including Fournier and Belinelli (Carroll or Lyles could also work), but I don't really want the former. Solid fit offensively, but less so defensively. If it could be expanded to include the Thunder, where they get Fournier, Lyles and say Johnson for Gallinari, I'd probably do it. But the Thunder would have to really love Johnson to do that.

Another permutation is Ross (Spurs were rumored interested last trade deadline) and Forbes. I like it in theory, but they just overpaid the former with 4/$50M contract.

Then again, Forbes is tracking towards probably 3-4/$21-24M anyway, so is the difference of 4.5-5.5M per for the next 3 years enough to supersede the fact that Ross is a much better fit and does that amount project to be crucial otherwise in the next few years? Probably not.

I know they love him, but Forbes isn't a starter and can't play alongside Mills.
