He the new Clarkson? Chase the Ring that eluded him in Toronto?
Or, he bound for Los Angeles to finish back home?

Would he start with Hart off the bench?

Hart is probably a better overall player so Hart should continue to start in this scenario.

Disrupt the offense, take away from the defense, less time for the yutes (Dadiet Mo Nickel MCullar) and Shamet.

This

Doesn't fit into this roster well

And he does not shoot the three at all

When we need interior buckets, we'll go to KAT or a pull-up by Bridges, in the paint with Drummond or drives by Mo, etc, etc, etc

I'd take back Clarkson before signing Derozan

But his game since leaving Toronto has never led to wins …NEVER . He gets his pts . He plays zero defense and honestly it looks like his teammates hate playing with him…

Those are just my concerns and they could be wrong …

Off the bench on a vet minimum, you can’t get a more talented player, minus LeBron.

After hearing what Diawara said about JC I think you sign him.

Clarkson surprised me by making his game a hustle game. One of effort. I’m curious if DD can do the same thing. You get a scorer for the second unit at the cost of efficiency. Hart is actually the better three point shooter :)

Josh was number 16 in the league last season on 3P%! Straight up sniper.

I feel like DeRozan has been a waste of a career. Seems like the kind of guy who could have been a playoff legend over the past 5 years as defenses locked up on 3 point shooters and kept a big tied to the rim to prevent layups. Instead he's been stuck on ass teams. Hopefully the money keeps him happy.

DD is a dinosaur type of player. The era he's in has passed him by. At his age there are going to be limited opportunities left for him. If you're a shooter looking to land somewhere on a vet minimum, most clubs will want a three point shot in your bag. At one time, he was a bucket and hard to stop in the mid-range, but he has the wrong specialty these days.

DD is the Mitch Robinson of 3 point shooters?

The team needs to change from last year because Mitch is gone. If everything stays the same we will have a massive black hole on the roster when KAT gets into foul trouble
