Blow it up?

DeRozan for Derrick, Rodney and Alec. Toronto starters not jibing.

DeRozan is terrible fit here. High volume mid range scorer...no passing, no defence. Yes he scores, but that's it. He does not make his teammates better.

That might be the case, but if you can get that deal. . . you take it and hope that Snyder can fit DeRozan into the system. DeRozan is a legit, young All Star wing. Worst case scenario is that you’ve upgraded your assets for a bigger move down the road. Don’t see any way the Raptors blow it up that bad.

DeRozan avg. approximately 23 pts, 4.5 REB, 4 AST over the last 5 years. Hardly ever injured. But can't shoot a 3. And we need scoring more than defense.

I’m almost certain that Snyder would coach him in a similar fashion as Rubio. Hopefully, he’d improve from downtown like Ricky has (so far) and becomes an elite offensive player if the Jazz went that way. Regardless. . . he’s an upgrade over Hood at the 2. GM’s should always be looking for opportunities to upgrade their team. Emotions and attachment can’t be an overriding factor in these types of moves.

He does not stretch the floor. He needs room to operate in the mid range and paint where we have Rudy. If we are building around Rudy we need a wing who can take at least 5-7 3s a game and make some as well. DeRozan will not change, he has great work ethic but too much of an ego to ever become solid team player. He shot Raptors out of the games so many times, plus he is absolutely pathetic in playoffs.
