Re: Magic one of 3 teams talking to Spurs about DeRozan
Definitely a flawed playmaker but he gets it done none the less.
But Derozen only has one year left on his deal before a player option. So I wouldn’t give up the farm for a guy likely to walk after one season.

Re: Magic one of 3 teams talking to Spurs about DeRozan
Not sure about the fit. Derozan is a very good midrange shooter and someone that can get to the line as good as any second tier player in the league. Probably better. But the dude does not shoot 3s. At all. We are already going to have a lot of lane cloggage Ds against us I'm not sure he is going to be a massive upgrade from Evan if we can convince Evan to be more of a spot up shooter only on O. And let's be clear about this -- I'm not saying he is no better than Evan -- he is WAY better than Evan. But for what we really need on offense I'm not sure he is better due to his lack of range. Then again, I could see him and T Ross at the swing spots playing well next to each other...

To add, you don't trade for him if you're not willing to pay him as a when he opts out.MagicFan101 wrote:Definitely a flawed playmaker but he gets it done none the less.

Fournier, Okeke, aaaand.....DJ? Or Bamba?
Okeke is still unsigned. They also essentially held Mo out of Summer League.

Re: Magic one of 3 teams talking to Spurs about DeRozan
It's a no from me.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.
- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Re: Magic one of 3 teams talking to Spurs about DeRozan
Evan and Bamba ... works from salary perspective
I like idea of potential two man game of Derozan and Vuc, but good lord that floor spacing would be painful

Re: Magic one of 3 teams talking to Spurs about DeRozan
If he shot the 3 at all, let alone well, I'd be super intrigued.

Re: Magic one of 3 teams talking to Spurs about DeRozan
If it comes cheap, I'd take it. He's still a better scorer than anyone else on the team. He would make us a playoff lock, imo, and would probably put us in top 4 contention. We'd need to improve our shooting a lot more though.
Plus, he could be a good name to shop as an expiring contract. He could make a package for Beal look real good.

Re: Magic one of 3 teams talking to Spurs about DeRozan
Fournier + Bamba + Iwundu for DeRozan and Walker works financially.
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y4xwjt23
G: Augustin, Fultz, Carter-Williams
G: DeRozan, Walker, Frazier Jr.
F: Gordon, Ross
F: Isaac, Aminu, Okeke
C: Vucevic, Birch
Magic would have two roster spots open at that point.

Re: Fake Twitter account fooled me
Iv'e thought about acquiring DD before. Like Pepe mentioned spacing would be a problem but as a team we are actually better at shooting from the perimeter than we are at getting to the free throw line so he'd definitely help with that.
I'd send Bamba Fournier for him at the most add a second round pick, i'd like to keep Okeke.
DJ/(Fultz)/MCW
DD/TRoss
Isaac/(Okeke)/Iwundu
AG/Aminu
Vuc/Birch
if we can shoot well enough to alleviate spacing issues, we'd add a guy who can legitimately get his own shot at an All star level and help with some playmaking (6APG last year).

Re: Fake Twitter account fooled me
He can distribute he can go to the line when we hit a scoring drought and nobody can buy a bucket
I just dont see them trading him cheap and Im not paying full price because Im a miser

I'm not seeing a trade I like or resulting rotation that looks all that much better...DD creates too many lineups with no spacing
