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.
so how is Derozan a stud at 21 ppg and he doesn't play defense but KP at 20 ppg who doesn't play defense sucks and is a complete albatross of a contract?
It's the same caliber of player. Except Derozan can't shoot which creates all sorts of issues for you offensively.
Derozan is mediocre and always has been. The stats back it up. We've had this argument over on the discord so I'm not going to start it up again lol.
KP, THJ, and Luka is a 3 of very talented offensive players. Most of the time offense wasn't the problem. Defense got killed with those 3. Add in Derozan you got the same problems but you have less shooting.
Going after DMR is just going after big names regardless of fit... Reminds me of the time when the Kings were like lets trade a couple of 1sts to clear cap space so we can sign Rondo to a big money deal lol.
