Why This Trade Would Benefit The San Antonio Spurs
DeMar DeRozan appears to be headed elsewhere after his season with the San Antonio Spurs reached its conclusion. The two sides are not going to come to an agreement on a new contract. San Antonio is looking to head in a different direction and find their way back in the postseason after a one-year hiatus.
The Spurs currently have veteran players in DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge. Both could be on the move prior to the NBA trade deadline. Both are veteran players who simply aren’t ideal for a long-term rebuild and San Antonio needs to tear it down.
If the Spurs were able to flip DeRozan for Montrezl Harrell and Dennis Schroder, this would be a home run deal. They would both be a perfect fit for Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs. This will continue to rebuild and give the team other options with Dejounte Murray.
This is a large return for a player who is going to just leave anyway. It makes all the sense in the world for the Spurs to look for a trade partner for DeRozan so they can get a return. This is one of the best that they could ask for.
