If Masai offer him max![]()
Right. Tristan Thompson just got $80 million. Shouldn't even ask whether he getting a max deal or not. Someone somewhere will offer himEnes Kanter got the max......Demar Derozan is about to get the key to a city. If he learns how to shoot 3's he's be worth it for how much he gets to the line.

It's all or nothing with some people.
DeMar is easily a top 3 SG. There's Harden, Klay, & him and you can argue with him being just as good as either at this point besides the fact that he can't shoot 3s. He's not a superstar who makes you a title contender instantly but he is an all star in this league and that's worth max money. Unfortunately there's no distinction on max money going to a superstar like Lebron or Kobe or max money going to Joe Johnson so people feel Demar isn't worth it but he is.
People will sit here and complain about the Sixers not being competitive and not signing and paying for veterans but when there's an obvious all star/top 3 SG and people think it's crazy to max him out because he alone won't win you a championship. You can't have it both ways. Hinkie's 76er tank experiment should have taught everyone that there's more to it than simply winning a championship. The Raps won 50 games last year and look like one of the better teams in the East with him and Lowry leading things. Yeah they won't win a championship but they're a solid team who is in a position to make noise for this season and the next few.

Post slightly better stats than a 34 year old Dwayne Wade while playing 6 more MPG and think you can be a top 3 SG.
You think Derozan is better than Butler?
You're correct, Butler is better. He slipped my mind (it's late)
but allow me to add, how exactly can we quantify how good Klay is. He plays with a transcendent player. Do we really know if Klay is better than Derozan?
