That’s all Pop gets back???

An albatross contract for a postseason choker into his 30’s that will only get worst with time is the star of the deal? Why not say pass on Derozan and take OG  Anumboly, Van Fleet and a 1st much later like in 2022 when they would be in a rebuild year? Why not take this deal and come back to the Lakers that they would do the deal for Kuzma and Ingram and no 1st rounders? To me this was nothing short of a desperation play to milk one last playoff when they should be thinking about rebuilding.

don't worry about it...no GM jobs will come calling for you any time soon....you have likely only seen DeRozan play against the Cavs in the playoffs these past several seasons...he's a much better than you think he is and will likely continue to flourish on the Spurs

btw...you're funny...keep posting...world needs more laughter

Toronto would never trade OG  Anumboly out for a rental player

Spurs had zero leverage?? They could have had Jaylen Brown and picks at the deadline, L.A offered Ball and Ingram, they could have had a nice package from Philly. Instead they end up with an albatross contract, a project center and a late 1st rounder who won’t even be worth much. 

Spurs asked for Ingram.  LAL refused any deal that included him.  That's why talks broke off.  Pelinka said as much on L.A. radio afterwards.

S.A. will look fine from this trade.  They seem to have a way of making every trade look good and blending guys into their system.

Both Cov and Saric ceiling combined wont match that of Derozan 

I think the spurs just felt bad to give away such a star with out getting anything big back, seems like a moral thing as they dont want to just give away a star for young players. for all we know, the spurs could use derozan as a trade piece for more young talent since his contract is more then 1 year like kawhis.

poelt is a very nice player. he is a good worker too 

Yes he is...solid team player and will end up having a very successful nba career when all is said and done barring any major injury...the kid is smart likeable hard working and has a nasty defensive minded approach to blocking shots and knowing how to play the center position...sadly the game is moving away from the traditional center type player, so it will be interesting to see how he fairs long term...being the backup to Aldrige isnt too shabby for now.

Danny Green was a great pick up too

You guys have to remember the contracts have to match up with the salary caps, kawhi-20 mil, danny green-10 mil, derozan 28 mil, poetl- 3 mil, this is why green had to be part of the deal or else the spurs wouldnt keep up wit the cap.

Its rare for a Raptors fan such as myself to wake up knowing our team just traded for the best current player in the conference, amd when they step onto the court come playoff time, Toronto will always have the best player on the court wearing a Drake designed OVO uniform
