Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

I'd definitely be interested in Demar for the playoffs. He is one of the only players that should theoretically be available, that has the ability to go get his own shot against playoff defense. In theory Tobias is a better 2-way player, but he isn't good enough on either side to be a difference maker in the playoffs. Demar is a liability in defense and he won't shoot the 3, but he will score on a locked in playoff defense. That said, it's a risky move chemistry wise to replace Tobias with Derozan.

Have you watched any of Demar's toronto playoff games? He becomes useless under playoff defense. No thank you.

Eh, I'm not super pro-Demar but I always thought his stats and rep were somewhat just bad luck/small sample size. He was really bad in his first 2-3 years and then after that he's been pretty alright, good for 20+ on okay efficiency even on slow and grinding teams where neither team usually shot very efficiently. Had a really nice 7-game series against DEN the last meaningful series he played in too.
I don't think he'd be huge for us but like Lloyd said his best thing is that he can create against locked in half-court defenses, and that's our worst thing. Don't want to flip Tobias for him but do think he could make a difference in the PO.
