LAKERS, bitch
DeMar DeRozan will be a free agent this offseason coming off a career year with the Toronto Raptors.
DeRozan was the ninth overall pick in 2009 out of USC.
"He's enjoying his last days in Toronto because he'll leaving for Los Angeles in a few months anyways," said Smith of DeRozan.
While Smith doesn't specify which team from Los Angeles he predicts will sign DeRozan, it is presumably the Los Angeles Lakers given their needs on the wing and available cap space.

Good to see the Lakers work on catching up to other young teams in the West who already have their transcendent foundations and are just topping it off with a top-notch coach.

But not until the Lakers sign Durant, Westbrook, Love and Melo.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

I don't know why anyone is super high on DeRozan. His game kind of reminds me of Gordon Hayward. When he's got it going, it's great. He seems to disappear a lot though.

He's the second best player on the 2 seed in the East who look like they could be vulnerable to drop to the 7 seed in the first round.
But hey, small victories for Lakers fans. They're shedding a bunch of dead weight this offseason.

Re: LAKERS, bitch
i think kobe saved the franchise with that 60 point game.. that might be the re birth of its mystique
leaving on a huge positive note was pretty important. it also might have drowned out the d'angelo drama

The thing is... I think smart teams know neither is a #1 guy. As a #2 or even #3... both are very good.
[Note: Not saying Utah isn't smart. They're searching for that #1, they probably realize more than anybody that it's not Hayward.]
Re: LAKERS, bitch
So we sign DeRozan and Durant, draft Simmons or Ingram, and then shit on the league in 2017?
Sounds like a plan.

I honestly think Utah will try and unload Hayward this off season.AbeVigodaLive wrote:Kingcarl24 wrote:I don't know why anyone is super high on DeRozan. His game kind of reminds me of Gordon Hayward. When he's got it going, it's great. He seems to disappear a lot though.

I believe I asked you about Favors for the Wolves pick... but never saw your response.
Interested?

No. I think Favors is a no go for Utah. I think building around Favors, Gobert, and Hood is the key moving forward at this point.
Favors and Towns would be a fun duo to watch though.

Is Demar Derozan worth $25 million per year?

Utah's plus side is their defense. Favors is a big part of that. We would be starting Lyles instead which would be a huge hit to the defense. I'm still not for it. Especially when it seems the 2 guys you mentioned could be huge busts.AbeVigodaLive wrote:Kingcarl24 wrote:AbeVigodaLive wrote:

Re: LAKERS, bitch
True. But the Jazz lost a playoff spot largely because of a lack of top end offensive talent. You can make the case for both being busts... but as #1 or #2 picks... and a lot of hype... obviously there's some legit potential there too.Kingcarl24 wrote:Utah's plus side is their defense.

Plus, it solves Utah's impending money problem. Instead of letting Hayward or Favors in a couple years, leave for nothing via FA... the Jazz get real value back at dirt-cheap prices.
Just for the fear of Favors leaving soon... I'd be hesitant as a Wolves decision-maker to pull the trigger. They have to get more than 2 years of Favors to make it a good long term trade.
Re: LAKERS, bitch
Haha. They have to be careful. If they spend $25 on him then try to target Westbook next year that will put them at $50-$55 mill already with room for only 1 more max guy.Robceltsfan wrote:Oh God I hope so.Buckets wrote:Is Demar Derozan worth $25 million per year?
