    I mean, I get it. Twelve year olds playing video games, he's the man. In real life, the Sixers ain't cryin' he left.

    I don't get the hype around Jimmy Butler either. People keep paying him to on their coaches and players for what?

    End of the day, he's a high second-tier player at best and doesn't change your franchise for the better.

    Why deal with the inevitable headaches and childishness?

    Butler's career metrics: OBPM: 3.1 DPM: 0.9 BPM: 4.0 VORP: 26.0

    DeRozan's career metrics: OBPM: 0.7 DPM: -1.1 BPM: -0.5 VORP: 10.0

    DeRozan seems like the much better person and teammate, but there shouldn't be any doubt who the better player is, tbh.

    Under that premise I can say Toronto ain't sad DeRozan left.

    Also, yeah, neither Chicago, Minnesota nor Philly were cool with Butler leaving. All wanted to keep him, unlike with what happened between Toronto and DeRozan where the Raptors coldly gave DeRozan away.

    You could argue that the Spurs offer to take back a bad contract using Mills and/or Bellinelli to offer a prospective trade partner cap relief within the next two seasons. The Spurs could conceivably take back a contract(s) totaling up to $18 mil in salary if they did that and retain DeRozan.
    Not a lot of contracts in that range out there, especially those ending in 2021:

    Fournier
    Dieng
    Hardaway
    Schröder
    James Johnson

    So throw away more of that 2021 cap space? Already gave away some with the last moves...

    I say keep DeRozan for this season. The roster is a lot stronger this year and the west is wide open. The improvement of Murray and White will be key this season

    Hope DDR can somehow find the magic and efficiency and leadership for a fellow who makes superstar money. So far there is no indication he has it in him.
    Hope the young ens blossom and he does not get in their way.

    This narrative needs to die... He did have a summer with Pop... He was traded in early July last year... Training camp is in October... NBA players don't see the coaches in July... This is still their time to do whatever they do in their personal offseason time... So plz stop saying he didn't have a summer with Pop... He had just as much time as anyone else

    We would have beat the Nuggets in 5 with butler instead of DDR... now ppl expect that we are gonna make noise is the playoffs when the guy on the team that takes the most shots can't even shoot threes nor play off ball in any capacity

    because there is no better option out there. DeRozan is not on a max contract, let's see what we have first and then see what we can do at the trade deadline/in the offseason. I'd rather have him for 29 million than Westbrook for 40. The roster is well constructed right now, I'd take my chances with the west being wide open. I think Spurs can beat anybody if they click and Murray/White make a leap
