At the start too, DeMar DeRozan should no longer be at Spurs next year. Rumors have already evoked a possible trade… with the Lakers! The rear decided to react to this news.
Traded from the Raptors to the Spurs, DeMar DeRozan continues to disappoint in recent seasons. The rear is in delicacy with its play and it seems more than ever on the downward slope. Fortunately for him, nothing is finished yet and at 31 years old, he has something to bring to a contender for the title. To the Lakers for example? This is the latest rumor at the moment.
Potentially a free agent if he turns down his final year of contract, DeRozan should probably take it. Difficult for him to find $ 28 million on his next deal. But in San Antonio, the time for reconstruction may have come, enough to let the old Raptor slip away to the highest bidder.
That’s why the idea is interesting for the Lakers. A reinforcement of weight, even if its game oriented towards the colon may not be suitable. Still, DeRozan has imagined himself playing with the Angelinos in the past, as he reveals in the podcast All The Smoke. He also gave an update on this potential coming.
You always want to be courted by teams. When you see that some want to recruit you, you can react in different ways. But that’s a good sign, because there are some players who are not wanted.
That DeRozan is reassured, it falls rather in the first category, and it is quite normal. The back can still do a lot of service, and he remains a good reinforcement for a team that is aiming for the title. However, it remains to be seen what will be the demand of Spurs to give it up.
Remember that the Angelinos do not have many assets, but they would be ready to drop two players to recruit DeRozan. Negotiations may take place soon if Spur becomes a front office priority.
DeMar DeRozan at the Lakers, this is clearly not the most obvious fit. Not enough to bother the current Spurs player, who is not totally against coming to the City of Angels.
