Should the Jazz persue DeRozan?

How is a guy who scores 22 ppg a 2nd option. Zero doubt DDR is a max player.

So should the jazz max Hayward, derozan, favors, gobert, exum, and hood?
Cause there is a chance that there is/will be virtually no difference in those players ability to help a team win games.
 
What's the point of maxing DeRozen? He's not a star. He isn't any better then Hayward or Hood for that matter over the next year or two. All this signing does is make it harder to get a star.

And yes. I think he's a max player. The only max contracts we should be giving out is for a star at this point. Maybe it's Exum or Hood or both or even Gobert or Lyles. If they aren't some need to be flipper for future assets to widen the gap to find a star.
 
Jazz will never acquire wing who does not either possess an above average 3 point shooting skills, or at least the potential to develop these skills. DeRozan is a mid-range and rim guy. We will never go after him.

The point of maxing him is to make the team better. DeRozan lead his team to a 56 win year. That is better than any year of the Deron/Boozer years here. We also have a better team than toronto with him. Stars dont just fall into your lap. Jazz have not had a star since Stockton and Malone. They might not get another one any time soon. Why not try and get the best players you can. If we can win 56 games next year with the upside we have we are looking pretty good. Derozan is better than Hood by a decent margin. Hood may develop into a player of his caliber but he is no where near his level yet. Having an all-star on this team and another almost all-star in Hayward and hopefully Favors next year we will be a really good team. We also still have a lot of potential in 4 more players: Exum, Hood, Lyles and Gobert.

People on this board want to cash all our assets in again for a chance at a star. Then we will be 4-5 more years away from competing for a title and that star will leave before we even get close. Make this team as good as you can and if by chance you can pull the trigger on a disgruntled star then you pull the trigger if it doesn't gut your entire team.

Crazy to me that people would say no to an all-star player that lead his team to 56 wins. Which by the way is better than OKC this year.

Agree 100%. If the Jazz are going to stick with a Favors/Gobert front court, a wing with no 3 point shot is out of the question. Derozan and Gay are both out of the question.

I'm talking about doing what we did with D-Will. Not saying we should cash in all our assets, but I assume we aren't going to be able to keep all our core forever.

Just pointing out that many called D-Will a star but Derozan led a team to a better record than him.

What is the free agent signing or trade that you think is possible for a star that isnt gutting our team that will make us better than 56 wins? I definitely think we should pursue a couple other avenues but I am pretty sure they are dead ends but I also think DeRozan is a dead end as well since he isnt going to sign here. But we should pursue him as well after we get the no from some other attempts at better players.
