Too bad he's being paid like an elite franchise player.... which he isn't. The problem with Derozan is that his strengths are what the NBA was 15 years ago. Long developing plays with a shot taken with 5 seconds or less on the clock from mid range, which is the least efficient way to score in the NBA. He can't handle the ball well in ISO, and can't shoot the 3 anywhere near well enough to be a shooting guard. He does pass well enough though so that when he gets keyed on he can move it away. He's a great scorer because of volume of shots and the free throw line, not because he's a particularly great player.

Your buddy is a disgrace to the gene pool. Birds of a feather I suppose.
-
Played a really good 2nd half and his D made McCollum a non-factor. Yeah he's struggling with scoring, but not on D.
-
Nah, according to his draft time line he was 2 years away from being 2 years away... so the start of this season puts him at 1 year away.
-
Ditto in Hollywood over that Weinstein stuff. There's only outrage because the public found out, Hollywood knew it for years and years and years and did nothing, and no women ever came forward until it was out -
Cuz mlb is racist and won't let Angel Hernandez do it.... duh
-
At least they got the win, won the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters with a Lowry triple/double.
-
Good effort, but some very bad decision making during critical stretches. Ah well, off to GS to get blown out.
-
That's actually a good question just posed by Jack Armstrong... are there enough shooters(assume he means from 3 point range) on the Raptors? Lowry, Ibaka and Miles for sure, DeRozan sucks from there, Powell is decent. Van Vleet is inconsistent and probably won't see enough minutes to really matter, Wright isnt great. Pretty good point for a team that's relying heavily on the 3 ball.
-
Yet another Derozan turnover on the dribble. ..Popovich is laughing himself to death at this. Literally the worst option to handle the ball and the Raps are giving it to him every time. Shoot, Powell had a great look there and just missed by a hair
-
Aldridge has to go, Ibaka shouldn't. ... but probably will.
-
And Derozan keeps turning it over whenever he tries to dribble....he just doesn't learn.
-
True, but in the 2nd half, the majority of those looks are deep in the shot clock after standing around for 23 seconds. That's not supposed to be the game plan. Quick shots, pushing the tempo and moving the ball.
-
Yeah... bjt SA is without Kawai and Parker, Raps should win this easy but they're juts not as active in the 2nd half. Lots of standing around and iso-ball. Poeltl is playing very well though. Up by 6 with 9 to go.... looks good if the 1st unit can keep it up when they get back in, which they should given the aforementioned absences from San Antonio.
-
At the half raps are getting out rebounded 31-15, but are winning the turnover battle with only 5 vs SAs 12.
-
Drake just called the Raps going to Eastern finals
-
3 ball is working tonight. It's a shooting gallery Getting a couple Ws in these games is key since they go on a 6 game road trip with the first 2 in San Antonio and Golden State... and ending against the Wizards.
-
As would I, which really is the absolute worst case scenario for Washington. 1 draft pick for a generational talent leaving. Seems like the "best" of the s***** options is actually resign him to a gigantic contract that you know eventually becomes an albatross. I can't fathom the backlash that would happen if he was traded before the end of next season. I actually hope for the trade just for the firestorm it would create
-
Can you imagine only getting a draft pick back for a Harper leaving? Do you trade him in the offseason? Trade him midseason? Resign to a monstrous deal for 400 million dollars over the next 12 years that will inevitably suck? Or keep him all year and let him go, getting only a draft pick as compensation? Are any of those even what you would call good options? If you're Washington, you basically have to decide which one of those sucks the least

General 2017 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
John_Havok replied to reedjohnsonfan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He's the same guy who Jose Bautista called out on twitter a few years ago after Simmons made criticisms. Jose responded with "who are you and why are you talking to me." Though maybe that's why you wrote you role the way you did, referencing that. Basically he's a dipshit dinosaur, who would probably vote for guys like Matt Stairs to be in the Hall of Fame -
It's weird they would announce it during the playoffs that he's still involved in though. Usually they would wait until Houston is out to make any announcement
-
It would, but imagine them trading Gardner and Robertson to free up another 25 million and it doesn't seem too difficult. They might end up with a stars and scrubs lineup though which probably isn't ideal
-
Shiiiiiit. That's like ... Psycho Sid snapping his leg level gross.
-
It's possible, but it would still take monumental injuries on the Celtics and Cavs or just catastrophic failure in order for it to happen. The Raps shooting guard still can't shoot a 3 ball.
-
Only partially a joke. Sabathia, Holliday, Garcia, Pineda and Frazier are all FAs after this year, with 70 million off the books, Gardner in 2 years (likely) and Headley and Robertson after next season.. thats another 38 million. Their arbitration guys aren't going to end up taking a massive chunk of that, with Sanchez, Judge and Severino still pre-arb. Just saying they could probably make it work if they got creative enough
