DeRozen a PF now? that can't shoot?



Derozan would be the perfect backup to jimmy if he accepted it.



We currently have 3 starters, we can't worry about backups



Lowry is our PG
Herro OR Duncan are our SG
Jimmy is our SF
Bam is EITHER our PF or C

Cmon guys. We needed scoring and DeRozan is a flat our scorer. We'll make it work.

Ingram is a dumb rumor. He has a 30 million dollar contract we can't match anymore unless the Pels plan on paying Duncan something close to that neighborhood with no guarantee Duncan even wants to play for the Pels. DeRozan on the other hand is there for the taking.



Duncan for close to 20, Nunn for 8, and we throw in KZ?

S&T not one but two restricted free agents to the same team? I love your optimism :lol:

Maybe they start Herro and bring DeRozan in as the 6th man to play 2-4.


Your big move of the summer that should bring you to a championship cant be to bring in a 6th man and a 36 year old point guard for damn near 60 million per year.

How. How are you getting any driving lanes with defenders giving Derozen + Jimmy + Bam open 3's knowing they won't take them.

Is Spo an offensive genius that's going to revolutionize how offense is played in the NBA?

Jimmy is a scorer, what we need is a scorer capable of shooting high percentages from anywhere.

Until I hear it from other reporters, I'm taking this DeRozen thing with a huge grain of salt.

Not saying I love it. Just trying to make sense of it all. I also think it's a terrible idea to play DeRozan at the 4 spot. Hopefully this rumor is not true. If it is the only viable spot I see for him is playing heaving minutes off the bench.

I think we are pretty much out of the running now for anyone making over 30 a year.

Derozen is a very good player, the fit just isn't there.

It's part of the reason I never liked the Jimmy/Bam Combo as a foundation - every other key piecse you add HAS TO be an ELITE 3 shooter to cover for their total lack of shooting.

Derozen had a great year, he looked really good. But you can't win with 3 non shooters are your 3 key guys today.

DeRozen and Lowry should definately play together again, they were a great duo. But do it somewhere else, Lets go NO give these dudes an offer they cannot refuse.

He is a great player. Absolutely. I agree... he just wouldn't fit.

Lowry
Butler
Derozan
Bam
Whoever is 5

That lineup would clog the paint worse than rush hour on the I95.

You can't have 3 non shooters in your starting 5 today. Plus we'll be small as hell.

Maybe we can get a knock down shooter stretch 4?

DeRozan is the 4.

I know this is negative....but i'm starting to get the feeling we are going to suck again next year. I hope we don't pay too much to suck again.
