    I'd be down, just don't see how we can get him. We don't have the picks or the best players to give up..

    I'm personally convinced Derozan will leave San Antonio next summer anyway so, i can see the Spurs looking for a trade, especially since they're going nowhere with this roster. But i'd still expect a Derozan - CP3 swap, for me it makes too much sense for both sides to not happen...that, unless the Spurs decide to go into a full rebuild and trade Aldridge, but they just guaranteed his salary for the next season so, i would be kinda shocked if they decide to blow it up.

    As for the Rockets i don't know, unless we move Westbrook i don't see how this could happen, i mean, we could trade Capela and House/Tucker, but for Derozan? That would be a suicide imo, another questionable fit, expiring so he could leave next summer...we would really start to look like the Dwight/Nash/Artest/Kobe/Gasol Lakers...a bunch of stickers more than a team.

    Your team would be down as well...on the floor.

    Sure, let's add a certified choker to this team.

    It blows my mind that a mid-range shooter as great as he is can't teach himself to make a corner three.

    lol

    WB might have his flaws but..

    DeRozan is a perennial playoffs choker. He is guaranteed to disappear in a tough setting.

    Westbrook might be a liability but has taken his team to the Finals and played great in it, has also taken a Warriors team to game 7 before Durant bailed, and definitely does not shy away from competition.

    It's basically a NO SHOW vs someone with liabilities but SHOWS UP.

    I am staying away from the guy that does not show up.

    For WB? Yes.

    Demar's likely opting out this offseason (FA is a ghost town in 2020 he can make some money), making him an expiring.

    League execs probably think Eric Gordon is also tradeable. :D
    unless Harden is trading one of his boys(WB) for another home boy(DD).
    That'd be cruel. Dropping Paul off in OKC and Westbrook in SA. :D

    I don't see anything here.

    Demar will expire. I'd do it for that alone. We don't have a chance to win anything with WB, rather bail now if we can so we can rebuild around Harden in for 2020-21.

    lol build around Harden with tillman.

    Once you let that max contract expire, tillman is bringing in a bunch of journeymen and min contracts in here, or reup Derozan for a cheaper contract if he can.

    If you genuinely want to contend, you have to stay away from mental midgets like DeRozan. That mentality seeps into he team. Players like him are poison to your team being competitive.

    Right. We are interested in another career sub-30% 3pt shooter.

    Anytime you can add around Harden long-range shooters like Westbrook and DeRozan, you got to do it.
