DeMar Derozan: I almost joined the Clippers this summer

I don’t understand how this is even financially possible? Would have been crazy for sure to have 3 wings all superstar, or perennial all star level.

He was gonna join the dude that he got replaced with in Toronto? Weak

I don’t believe this. SAS said Derozan preferred designation was the Knicks

Your tryna get at him for having maturity to look past all that petty sh*t.

Playing in his hometown on a contender with 2 other all stars is def a consideration for anyone. Pumped for Demar's success on the Bulls, great player and seems like a great dude.

It would have been a chance to go home for him.
His beef was with Masai for what he felt was lying to him, not with Kawhi.

So you gonna take Stephen A Smith's word over DeRozan, on the topic of DeRozan's own free agency?

[The High Cyde]

Damn, with the way he’s playing this year, I would’ve loved to see him on the Clips.

Let's face the facts. It was always going to be Evan Fournier. SAS is a clown.

Yes… I’m sure SAS is a more reputable source than Derozan himself..

DeMar said this himself on Ibaka's cooking show.

Didn't get into the specifics but there was chatter in the off-season that DeMar was willing to take less money to go home.

I think I'm the only one who viewed this post as tongue in cheek.

He would have definitely helped this season with Kawhi and PG out, but I wonder what the fit would be with both of them back. Perhaps Derozan could have played some point guard? He does have good ball handling and passing skills

Well, before he was injured, Paul George was technically the primary ball handler and playmaker, so yea, that's basically what would happen. Would be quite the interesting combination of players.

this guy is a diva from LA. he says he joined the lakers then the clippers.
hes probably counting his remaining contract days to retire in hollywood now that he got the bag.

translation: I would've gone to wherever S&T'ed for me and I would give up a little more money if it was an LA team

[bstein14]

Spurs would have likely had to take back Kennard and I'm not sure they would have taken that contract.

Well at the time when DD chose Bulls his agent called LAC not to bother, there would be no meeting, DD had chosen Chicago so likely this went as far as either LA team could afford him.

[PlayerUp]

Well he's from LA so it's understandable why he preferred the Lakers/Clippers but it didn't happen.

Funny how ESPN keeps talking about how DeRozan could have gone to LA or New York. He wanted LA get it straight. Nobody prefers to play for the Knicks organization.

I think DD, Kawhi, and George would be nasty

3 guys with skill + size, and who are interchangeable from the 2-4 spot. IMO if healthy they would have been heavy favorites to win it all.

Glad he went to Chicago
