Additionally Derozan is at the same level of KP as a scorer. Clearly not a legit 2nd star either. That's way too low of a target. I don't think they are going to sacrifice cap space for a guy like Derozan. If the Mavs decide they want another guard forward type, I think Powell is that guy in free agency. He's such a better fit skill wise and likely cheaper.
I don't think the Mavs are signing anyone this summer with cap space tho personally. I think we are an over the cap team.
People are criminally underrating DeRozan as an offensive stud. The way people talk about DeRozan you would think he's terrible. I wonder how much overlap there is btwn the DMR sucks and kills spacing crowd and the "we have to play Josh Green" crowd? I have a feeling there's an overlap because they are both delusional.
DMR is a stud and teams would have their hands full with Luka, DMR and KP out there. That is a big 3 whether you want to call it flawed or not its at least 3 very offensively talented players.
Count me in the camp that is pro-DMR if you can get him. I am also okay if Mavs sign good role guys with low risk and high floors (Batum, Jackson, types) that have demonstrated they can help you in the playoffs.
