The one thing that hasn’t clicked for Derozan yet is that he’s not as good as he thinks he is. I can post a bunch of advanced stats that indicate that Derozan was very often a net negative for the team because of his ineptitude to do anything but play isolation ball.
I actually think derozen is the type to thrive under pop....

He can definitely be a star in a system...

I got to hand it to the breh - he improved his game every year. He really did. Even after he got the big contract.

What he isn't able to understand tho is that simply improving his game wasn't enough. He also had to put those improvements into practice and produce when it counted most.

And he fell short. In a real embarrassing way - swept as the 1 seed. No shame in losing to Bron, but the fact that he couldn't even take a game or 2 off the Cavs was the end of Demar in Toronto.

Whether traded for Kawhi now, another player at the deadline, or even dumped into space at a bad team for picks, his days in Toronto were numbered.

Lowry's up next. The only reason that nikka still on the Raptors is because the size of his contract makes it damn near unmovable in this environment.

But come summer 2019...dude should expect to be selling his house and getting his affairs in order.

Raptors played better with DeRozan on the bench a better plus/minus

He'll the closest game against the Cavs that raproes came back down double dkgidi DeRozan was on the bench


Any team in the nba would trade a tier two star for a tier one

Demar really sees zero issue with getting swept by the Cavs in consecutive years, thats the only explanation for this.

Dwane Casey got fired, despite the best regular season in franchise history, and he's blindsided that Masai wanted to make a big personnel change too? Dude is delusional.


His comments exemplify why hes soft and why im glad hes gone....We lost to a team that went to the finals every year whats wrong with that ?


:hhh:

I feel we've been talking about his shytty defense for years or lack of production in the playoffs. If you look on realgm or reddit, those cacs are still crying over it.

I still remember the tepid reactions his resigning got. Nobody thought DeRozan would be getting the 2nd highest salary that summer, behind Mike Conley. I seriously thought they were going to move on from him that summer, but they brought him back

How is Demar going to be better in year 10 ?

At this point he is what he is and hes still an all star (but not in the west :umad:)


He isnt suddelnly going to be an elite defender,hes isnt suddenly going to hit 3s at 40%,he isnt suddenly going to stop taking mid range shots...

He isnt in his 3rd season in the league,when your this deep in ur career you are what you are....hes not improving.

hes a 20-25 PPG scorer who will shoot 25 from 3 on limited takes and is a below mediocre defender,average rebounder and below average playmaker...

Thats what he is....Yall acting like this nikka is about to become a new player are delusional and quite honestly MAD :banderas:
