That's why I don't want him- after watching the whole team slump in the playoffs, the last thing we need to add is a player who slumps in the playoffs every year.

He is obviously a good player, just don't know if he's a good fit for how the roster appears to be developing. In a lot of ways he's essentially what we're trying to develop RJ into. Why not just allow RJ the room to continue to grow?

We need a wing who can shoot. Derozan is not a good shooter he is an athletic slasher on the wrong side of 30

We have shooters and will continue to add shooters (especially at PG). We need a wing that can flat out score. I get the detractors on DeRozan. He's not the perfect player. But he's durable, available, and can flat out create and score. His ability to attack the basket and draw defenders will open things up for Barrett and Randle. I agree he's not the best fit on paper, but he's a good player who can be had without giving up anything.

We already have a slasher in RJ. I know RJ’s shooting improved significantly this season but he will always be primarily a slasher

Derozan would be redundant with RJ here. Plus as someone else mentioned he can’t defend wings anymore. My friends who are spurs fans couldn’t wait for him to go and went ballistic when he picked up his player option. He’s just a name now
