If the Spurs do this I will just lose all hope in the FO. It’s so damn obvious we need shootingNot exactly rocket science.

lol you people seriously turn this down?
Good Christ
I’d say it’s less than a 5% chance of happening but… I bet they’ve discussed a 1 year deal if Demar can’t find a deal some place else to keep the books freed up
Please no, tbh. Might as well bail out Bryn Forbes from prison and re-sign him while they're at it.
I mean where in the does he fit? I don't get this at all
It’s called talent acquisition men, you trade them at the deadline for more seconds lol
This would be more about 'doing the right thing by players'.
It would be to get DeRozan to a respectable contract number above the mle for like a 1+1 so DDR could save face then trading him where he wanted to go at the deadline.
Pop loves DDR and crying all over him, this is there ultimate player favor
"This is who we are."
As I said in the other thread, there are off-seasons where this made sense. He's a good player and play-maker. He's embraced playing more PF now, which addresses a lot of his short-comings. The Spurs could've drafted shooters that needed someone to provide vertical pressure and passing, and DeRozan, even combined with Paul, could've done that well. But they basically did the opposite of that, so outside of a major trade that moves multiple non-shooters and brings in a shooter or two, I don't see how this would work. Even on a one-year "we'll trade you or waive you so you can go to a contender at the deadline" contract ala Paul, it wouldn't be okay.
Sadly, could absolutely see this happening.
The CP3 thing I get, the guy has a lot to teach and he's been credited by others in helping them reach a higher level. WTF has DDR ever done![]()
Can the seconds be 400 light years away? Because now Brian Wright is interested.
Seems like the ultimate bad move-- it raises the floor and gets some wins, making next year's draft pick worse, while there's zero chance he's part of a future Wemby championship team. Also, as a trade asset, DDR's value might be at an all time low.
Not happening tbh.

Lakers might be desperate and LeBron may force them to do something at the deadline. We could squeeze a pick and Hachimura out of them
I can honestly this as the Spurs FO doing DeRozan a solid by appearing to show that there is at least one more team interested in his services (although the Spurs showing interest doesn't carry the same weight as it did 20 years ago, when we heard agents use the Spurs name as leverage EVERY offseason) - when in reality, the fit is not there.
no.
Derozan is a 6’6 Dejounte Murray/Russell Westbrook. Big name with empty calorie stats. He’s useless without the ball in his hands (can’t shoot, doesn’t defend, doesn’t cut or occupy defenders off the ball). And if the ball is in his hands your not doing in the playoffs.
The ball will be in Wemby and Chris Paul’s hands. Than Vassell and Castle as tertiary playmakers.
July is mental health awareness month
Would be a bad fit. Of course T Pork approves though lol.
It’s not even so much about wanting us to be bad next year, or thinking DDR is a bad player. I just think it’d legitimately hamper VW’s development. Get him some ing spacing and stop bringing on non-shooters. It’s not a good fit at all given the rest of the roster so I really hope this isn’t actual interest on the Spurs’ side.
It maybe made sense before CP3, but Chinook has pretty much nailed it. Only scenario (and its a sh*tty one) where it’s remotely justified is if SA is a cap space team, signs him to 1 year deal for remaining space after CP3 and then simply thinks they can trade him vs just not using the money on anyone.
But it’s alarming at this point that SA punts pick 8 and is on the verge of CP3 and/or CP3/DeRozan being their only new addition(s) to the team after what we saw last season. I dont see how that is even possible
For vet min, I am okay.
