    I don't like DeRozan at all, I'm saying, I'd trade WB for a useless large expiring. DeRozan fits that description.

    And Tilman being cheap wouldn't matter much, we'd have cap space and wouldn't be a threat to loom anywhere near LT due to us not having any big extensions coming up, so it would actually save Tilman money.

    WB for DeRozan

    2020 FA comes, trade Gordon for pure cap or a cheaper contract

    Were left with

    Harden
    House
    Tucker
    Capela

    And 30 mill to spend on free agents that could fit the team well like Otto Porter Jr, Hayward (if healthy), Fred VanVleet, Jerami Grant, Bertans

    I know it will never happen, but I'd like it better than staying pat with WB.

    It's a shame they let MCW go. Think of the spacing in a MCW, Westbrook, DeRozan, Harden, Capela lineup.

    Only if he insists on posting up constantly when he isn't launching ill-advised threes. I don't want this new fandangled team player Dwight that the Lakers have.

    Derozan is almost as bad as Westbrook this year but he’s an expiring and much better offensive player.

    He’d crush in the Rockets system believe it or not. Strong iso game and feeding off Harden doubles? Yes.

    I swear is like some people are not programmed to use their brains. Why in the **** would Toronto give up a 1st round pick for an expiring DeRozan? And why in the **** would SA trade for an old Gasol with another year in his contract?

    Lol people saying no to this. DeRozan is a bad first option for a contender. He's perfectly fine as a second or third option.

    Breaking: that western conference executive is no longer an employee of that team due to incompetence.

    The spacing would be horrendous... it’s already bad.

    Tf? Who would we be sending out to match his salary? They are not trading Russ.

    I’ll go ahead and stash this one in the “nonsense that’s a waste of time” folder

    Orlando or Sac make the most cents, because those are 2 teams who need that 2nd or 1st star to start to really get going. They also both have assets to get him i would think. Both are 7-10 and need that anchor to get them in the playoffs imo.
