Today, although the San Antonio Spurs beat the Los Angeles Clippers 116-113 in the away game, DeMar DeRozan, as the core leader of the Spurs, did not perform well in this game.
In this game, DeRozan started the game with 29 minutes, 3 of 9 shots, only 6 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 hot pot. There were 2 turnovers and his personal plus-minus score was -20, ranking last in the team.
Obviously, DeRozan, who is in a contract year for the NBA this season, will struggle very much if he continues to stay with the Spurs. In fact, in the competitive environment of the Western Conference, there is another team whose condition cannot be compared with that of the NBA last season. This is the gold nugget with the two stars of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Under this circumstance, American media writer Lee Tran proposed a 3 for 1 blockbuster trade plan: the gold nuggets gave out Gary Harris, Will Barton and future draft picks, and the Spurs traded for All-star guard DeRozan.
For the gold nuggets, if DeRozan is traded for, the team’s offensive shooting power will be improved to a certain extent. Although DeRozan is in a contract year in the NBA this season, the bargaining chip for Harris, Barton and future draft picks may be very willing to rush to the championship.
Of course, for the Spurs, choosing to send DeRozan away was originally one of their plans. After all, as early as last year’s offseason, the Spurs management did not intend to renew DeRozan in advance, instead of waiting until this year’s offseason. Losing him in vain, it would be better to trade in exchange for a good bargaining chip, I believe the Spurs can consider this non-loss trade.
