Derozan is just another Paul George. The kind of players who can't find a way to create an impact during off nights.
One thing I noticed that resembles both of them is the consistent piling of brick after brick shots, which makes their team suffer. Now, I'm starting to think that these players are overrated, or shall I say they aren't a good leader to lead a team.

 Derozan is not a bad player at all, actually Spurs are not playing that bad neither, they are just a young team with 2 all-star level players and in todays league many teams have 2 superstars and not all-stars so its hard to compete in the west with such stacked teams. The problem spurs have is not the "quality" of the players they have, its the method those players play. For example defense is quite important for spurs system because they care about transition but you look at the defense of likes of Derozan and Lamarcus and Byrn Forbes and Patty mills and Marco Bellineli, all of which are great offensive players but they are below avarage on defense.

 So what Spurs need is not "better" players but more like players who are around the same level of talent but play differently, more 3&D is needed for them, and I believe the future could have that for them as well. Players like Dejounte and White and Lonnie and Keldon all could be decent players in the future, we don't know when that will happen or even if it will ever happen, but at that moment they will be great.

 If I wanted to trade Derozan, I would probably go with players who are great shooters and defenders and around 6'7 to 6'9 for Spurs so that they could put them in PF positions, that way they could run the 1-2-3 positions with their young players and play the 4th with the new talent and Center could be Jakop Poeltl and Lyes instead of Lamarcus.

Sad truth, they rather keep on pushing than to let accept the off night and help with other role.

We seen lots of good stars who knows how to adjust when certain things call them, instead of keep shooting they will tend to play as
decoy and create plays for their teammates.
This Two superstars needs to learn and adjust from time to time, they are stars but they don't need tp push things up they rather bring
the boost for other players to stand up and share their talents to win the game.

Paul George will adjust, he was playing with Kawhi Leonard and that might have affected his style of play as he knows Kawhi is the main man of the team.

DeRozan's stats has really dropped compared to his stats with the Raptors.

While on PG we can understand that it dropped since he played in a team where there's lots of offensive players, they share the ball well compared with his time with the OKC.

This kind of recognition on DeRozan might be forgotten by people due to his bad seasons with the Spurs.

We will see if Melo is really something helpful for the Blazers as last season the Blazers have struggle.
Now, they are complete, they got their Center back, so hopefully Melo, McCulum, and Lillard would be able to bring this team to the playoffs again.

I don't see any improvement when they don't give a good fight with the Lakers.
They got almost sweep by the defending champion now.

The coach becomes the assistant coach of his ex-player.
This is something weird but let's see what will happen.
Mike D'Antoni reunites with Steve Nash as Nets' assistant coach
New Brooklyn Nets coaching staff.
1. Head Coach - Steve Nash (former Suns 2-consecutive time season MVP)
2. Asst. Coach - Ime Udoka (former asst. coach of 76ers) - specialized in defense
3. Asst. Coach - Mike D'Antoni (former Rockets coach and Suns coach of Steve Nash) specialized in offense
4. Player Devt Assistant - Amar’e Stoudemire (former Suns played with Steve Nash and coached by D'Antoni)

Look at this Brooklyn team, they are now fully packed and ready for war.  

There's a pressure for Steve Nash since there are probabilities many will expect that he will bring a good experience on his team but this is not enough since even if Steve Nash is good on coaching but his rooster is trash still they cannot move on the higher spot next season so better to build a strong play off contender team and get those valuable free agents to  help their team on next season.

I like this one they are fully packed with the groups of friends  the personal engagements with each other will developing this team.

Announcers voices are now lingering back into my ears hearing that Nash - Stoudemire combo. We know how great the sun back then, with this two superstars, just can't push it up to win the title though since Spurs are also formed their own Big Three and they dominate that time. But now, reuniting with their former coach they will work to build this franchise with their two Superstars.

 Everyone is incredibly hyped about all this Nets staff things but we are talking about staff here and not the players themselves. Of course staff is a big deal, of course when you have great coaches and great assistant coaches you do get better results but lets be honest players are the ones that make a team a good team. Look at Lakers for example they had Frank Vogel and he is not a great coach at all, he is not a horrible one neither and I find him decent but he is not a master class coach at all, yet they won a championship. Look at Pop on the other hand, dude has been awesome for 20+ years and finally couldn't make the playoffs. So at the end of the day staff of Nets could be as great as it gets but the players will be the ones that will make the difference. I think KD and Irving would be a good pairing but thats about it, they are not going to make it to anywhere further with just those two, they need one more star to get the load off.

I forgot how long his contract with them.

But I'm sure that he's still one of those big contributors to the team. Mad respect for the guy, this thread is a witness how hard he went through being a choice of a team.

Almost there's no team that wanted to him before.
