DeMar DeRozan?

[cowhide]

I like DeRozan talent. I think his shooting has improved (or seems that way). The Jazz had no answer for him when we played the Raptors in Toronto. However, hi price tag is a little high. I think he is a 6-7 million a year guy. How are the Jazz going to be able to afford paying our guys if they start over paying for other players. Unless Hayward has a huge season I think 8 million max and I would like it to be closer to 6.5 -7 million and raises each year. Or even front load Hayward's contract so at the end they will be able to offer Kanter and Burks (if he pans out) contracts.

you pay the guys by going over the luxury tax... we can re-sign Burke and Gobert (in 2018/19) even if were over the cap

Favors and Kanter's QO is about 8mil, so they wont be getting that big of a raise from that...

if hayward is had for 10 mil per

and burks is flipped into a new rookie contract (this is key, we cannot resign another SG like burks if Derozans here for 9.5)

that coveres the core 4 around 40 mil, til like 2017-2019 depending on the year they were rookies

Derozan, whether he Opts in or out of his player option in 16/17 will be off the books before Gobert and Burke need new contracts

the jazz have PLENTY of wiggle room

dont worry about the $$$, its not your $$$

everyone knows the best kind of money is OPM (Other Peoples Money)

yall trying to save the millers a few bucks, they want to deliver a championship more than $$$ upfront (or $$$ saved)

anything less is cutting off your nose to spite your face

the Western conference champs paid a 35 year old, 6thman $14,107,492 last year.

i think we can afford 23 year old DeRozan at 9.5 for 2 or 3 years, he probably opts out and renegotiates as a 25 year old, with tons of leverage

felt like bumping this DeRozan is balling in the playoffs.

He finished the season 9th in scoring, an All-Star, and with a better 3point % than Hayward (.305 to .304)

DeRozan is seriously expendable right now-- meaning the Jazz could really capitalize here. He isn't a star player, and his shooting isn't great, but he could realllllyy fit within an offense along the likes of Burke, Hayward, and Millsap.

Burke
DeRozan
Hayward
Millsap
Favors

6th man: Kanter


Good passing from 1-5 (Favors has shown marked improvement here-- not going off stats, just intuition) and okay spacing if we re-sign Foye.


Only thing that puts me off is his damn contract. Sheesh

I think I could be convinced to do Burks + filler/crappy pick for DeRozan

Well, looks like I was wrong about DeRozan not being a star.

Dude's been ballin all season.

Derozan reminds me of burks ;-)

Btw, burks was better from 3 point range this year than derozan and hayward

Burks shot 35% from 3, hayward and derozan both shot 30%.

Derozan shot 42% from the field..... hayward shot 41% from the field.....
Burks shot 45% from the field.

derozen is a beast.

but burks is right up there. Unleash burks...now that crotrash is gone.

Random Fact: I was at the LAX (Los Angeles Airport) Post Office and I see this pimped out SUV parked. This older black man exits and walks into the post office wearing a Raptors jersey with the name "DeRozan's Dad" on the back.

I read on slcdunk, that if you take away the many full-court last-second end-of-quarter threes he took, Burks shot almost 38% from deep this year.
