This is a team at a crossroads. Despite the fact that he has performed ably since arriving in Texas from Canada, DeRozan might not be in town for that much longer. He could even be traded ahead of the deadline. DeRozan can become a free agent in 2020 by declining his $27.7 million player option; he was far apart from the team on extension talks before the season, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick. The Spurs could always deal him sooner rather than let him walk for nothing. Multiple league sources say the Magic are scouring the trade market for scoring help and have already expressed interest in trading for DeRozan.

It would surprise none of the front-office executives I’ve spoken with if the Spurs did move DeRozan.
Through no real fault of his own—he is who he is as a player—he’s a symbol of stagnation for the organization. DeRozan is taking minutes away from the Spurs’ young guards. Two years ago, after Kawhi left, San Antonio’s future looked bleak, but the front office has effectively injected youth into the roster. It’s hard not to feel optimistic about Murray, Derrick White, Bryn Forbes, and Lonnie Walker IV. But DeRozan is a roadblock to seeing that young talent perform together. Murray and White have played together for only two minutes through 10 games. Murray, White, and Forbes haven’t played a single minute together. Walker IV is buried on the bench. It wouldn’t be difficult for the Spurs to free up some minutes for them and find frontcourt help by dealing DeRozan.

Does anybody think that Derozan would help the Magic become more than a 1st round loser in the East?

it'd be a splash move for the Magic to add a all-star level vet to a young team.  might get them into the playoffs but first round fodder

I'd be interested to see what Orlando is willing to give up. They're one of the top defences in the league - they're just one of, if not the single worst offence.

DeRozan could help

Any chance we expand the trade and the C's somehow end up with Bamba or Isaac? :P

That was one of my picks in the "which young player will break out this season?" thread last month.

Good call! His offence has, at least partially, caught up with his elite defence and length

Hello friend, you have to post the link that the trade machine generates. If you just post the URL at the top of the screen it just show's the link to a blank trade machine.

He's getting a lot of hype for his length, but if you look at the actual numbers they aren't all that impressive. According to measurements prior to the draft, he's 6'10 w/o shoes with a 7'1 wingspan. I wouldn't call that elite length by any means.

You wanna talk about elite length? Now that's some elite length! 8)

In a vacuum his length isn't jaw-dropping, but for a guy who can cover 3's and 4's comfortably, I think his length is pretty great.

Bamba, however, is inhuman. Mr Gadget-like arms.

The Spurs won't likely get much for DeRozan, but they definitely should move on from him.  His days of being a positive contributor seem to be over.  Maybe on a differently constructed roster, he could be of some use, but his lack of spacing and inefficient offensive game just compound the problems his putrid defense causes.

The Spurs also need to get rid of Aldridge as well.  Given his contract, though, this seems unlikely.
