    Well if the Lakers rate him highly then the DeRozan rumors make a lot more sense. Resign KCP and you still need another SG as DeRozan will likely be a 3/4 in the Lakers offense (replace Kuzma)

    DDR I’m pretty sure has always been a shooting guard. I’m not seeing 3 or 4 for him at all.

    he's played some at 3 in the past, but i think he's better as a sg. and i like our team playing big at the guard spots--especially when we have to move AD to c.

    i think if we move kuz for derozan, we look to FA to get that backup 3/4 scorer (gallo would be the obvious target).

    It's not going to happen now so it's mute but SAS finally started moving up into the frontcourt last year. He would fit much better as a 3 and 4 instead of a 2 with his lack fo 3 point shooting

    Can't. And can't gut the team for that guy. Would take Kuzma, AC, THT and all kinds of filler to make up for DG's 15M.

    That rumor was doomed from the start since DD is a Spur. Pop hates us with a passion because we're beautiful even when we sucked

    pretty sure i posted it before the other trade seemed done. in short, we don't. i think keeping kuz and getting schroder is probably better anyway.

    I think THT is going to be a nice surprise this year and earn minutes in the rotation.
