    When you stop and think about it, the odds are against a trade happening. This is typical off-season media talking about how to get big name free agents to the Lakers. It happens every year so it would be surprising if anything happened. The only reason to give me pause is Derozan may want to play closer to where he is from.

    I'd love to see a S&T involving DeRozan (the right S&T), just so we'd be getting something in return. I think he's more likely just to go and sign a deal outright.

    Most contenders don't have the money to sign him.
    It helps him as much as it does the spurs to do a sign and trade as it opens his options. He in noway thinks of himself as a minimum type player. He will also likely be willing to work with the spurs considering they have a good relationship.

    What options are so enticing? Which teams with cap space would be so intriguing for him?

    Makes sense. If he wants to go ring-chasing most contenders would have to free cap space, you're right. I'm hopeful we won't be willing to take on anyone's garbage. Then I'd rather just see him walk in that case. Toronto would probably welcome him back with open arms.

    Old post, but if he gets the opportunity, he would love to play at home.
    But hopefully the Spurs would try to get out of it. Kuzma, Harrell, THT and pick #22 (Duarte)

    I'm fine with trading him to the Lakers if he wants to go there and the Spurs can get an interesting asset or two but no ing way I want Kuzma. That skinny pos thinks he can score 25 a game in this league and that he's some budding star.

    I would do that trade and then trade Kuzma for a player or future draft pick. Do a little of what OK has done

    DeRozan on a James-Led Lakers team would be the perfect recipe for deepening my utter contempt for LA. I'd be giddy with every loss as much (or more) as during the 2001-2004 glory years.

    Maybe Pop will sell low again and get Pope, 2021 1st and 2023 1st for DeRozan (probably not cap compatible), or as you suggest unload Kuzma to a 3rd team.

    Perhaps Derozan ends up with the Splash Bros... on that team he wouldn't be a liability or be forced to shoot the three...

    10 Best Available NBA Free Agents (msn.com)


    DeMar DeRozan, SG

    DeRozan turned in yet another 20 PPG season with the Spurs last year, owning the midrange in an age obsessed with the three-point line. DeRozan was the No. 1 option on that San Antonio team and may have to accept a downgrade in priority status if he wants to go for a shot at a championship rather than running it back (with the Spurs or someone else) as the top scoring option on a mediocre team. That will define how DeRozan's free agency will go. If he's willing to settle for an MLE deal or somthing around there, his suitors will line up around the block. But if he's looking for a deal that pays him $10 million-plus annually, that line will be much shorter.

    I can't see DDR taking the MLE. Maybe for one year as a bet on himself. If he's going to sign a longer term deal he will get at least $16M per year imo.

    Dang, that's pretty harsh. I've always thought his value is around $20MM. If he goes to a place like NY or Detroit it would be $25MM but contenders would probably only want to pay $15-20MM. If he's worth $10MM we might as well sign him. lol.

    Someone suggesting Derozan take the MLE is likely hoping he signs with the Lakers or some . Even if he were to play a role as a second banana or a bench scorer, which I see him disinclined to do, but let's say he considers it, he would command more.

    I can't take reports like that seriously tbh.

    It's MSN. Person is just spouting reading material. He isn't taking the MLE and it would be an insult to offer him the MLE. That's just the easiest way for him to get to a contender. But likely if he goes to a contender, it will have to be through a sign and trade.

    Couple more Derozan to LA articles on somewhat reputable sports sites.

    https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/s...rs-per-report/

    https://sports.yahoo.com/report-kyle...170914603.html

    The CBS is conflicting in that Derozan is willing to take a pay cut but all LA has is $6m deal.
    The Spurs would need to do DeRozan a solid, which based on how nice they've been to him in his 3 years, I think they'd be willing.

    DeRozan in LA with his pal Lowry is ideal scenario #1, and increases the odds of him not being here for another 3-4 years.

    Uh, the MLE is really close to $10M. Not really a point in differentiating between them.
