I think we should look for a deal for a guy like Tyreke Evans, who I think has the talent to be a great player in the league, provides us with a guard who can break down the D and take over games late in the fourth. A guy like Casey can whip him up into shape.

Tyreke is a cancer and hes not a team player who doesn't care about winning, after his rookie year he fell off HARD

What will it take to pry Reke from the Kings? Let's just say assuming he's willing to sign an extensign here? Almost all the players we have here are negative value besides Derozan. If you could find a way to pair them together, even though it'd be the worst shooting tandem in the league I'd be all for it because talent matters more than fit in this league.

Yeah, lets get rid of DeRozan now so we can have something to complain about in the future. I don't understand.

Fail thread, Tyreke...you're joking right.

I see no reason to trade him right now, let alone for what is proposed in this fail thread.

Ross looks promising, but not a sure thing yet, so I am not sure if we want to trade DeRozan right away.
Unless you have a choice where our backup is capable of starting, otherwise, the trade better be an upgrade at another position (SF for example, player in Millsap who can play SF and PF).

Not that I think trading a guy right after he's agreed to extend is a great idea but how about Bargs and Demar for Batum and Matthews. That's a trade that would allow for a lack of a stretch 4 on offense.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please adviseā€¦.

Lol at the idea of replacing DeMar with Wes Matthews.

Definitely...not. I rather we trade Andrea and Ross for a competent SF than trading a scoring SG who finally starts to rebound.

I think Derozan is a keeper for now unless your packing him for a star. So trading him for Tyreke is a no, but a James Harden is a yes (not saying its going to happen).

I'd rather stick wtih Derozan as a project since he's finally giving us results. Why take on another guy whose a risk?

What I like about Derozan is that he his mentality and approach to the game isn't going to change. Hopefully with that, he continues playing like this or at a similar level.

The trade is not Demar for Matthews tho. And Matthews is a good shooter. Batum is a quality young player with more of a track record than Demar who can play the 3 which is a desperate need.

Val. Amir
Ed. Kleiza
Batum Fields
Matthews Ross
Lowry. Jose

That's a better team than now and just as young. Would Portland do it? Probably not. Should The Raptors if possible? Probably not. Don't think this team can trade players right after they make long term commitments.

I like DeRozan's mentality and his work ethic, it's paying off. If he keeps improving like this he'll be an all-star sooner than later. I say we keep him and look to deal Ross in a package that gets us a star caliber player at SF or PF. Build around DeRozan and Lowry. We have a very nice looking back court.
