DeMar DeRozan’s decision came down to the Kings and the Heat, but he chose to live on the West Coast again, per @ShamsCharania The Lakers never made a real offer.

We wanted him for the MLE. He got twice that. Let’s move on.

i mean 70+ mil for 3 year. i doubt lakers can offer that beside MLE which derozan wouldn’t want in the first place.

The wording here purposely makes Pelinka look bad.
Its not that we didnt make a real offer, it’s that Demar wanted more money than what we could have offered. This is a hitpiece

‘Real offer’ means actual asset and players to trade for. Our MLE offer was just saying fuck off to Derozan

I think with JJ being at the head* of the helm he too knew Demar isn’t fit for this team. Since he’s a big nerd with advanced stats and all that.

Never was a fan of the fit or the price so I’m good with it

The whole concept of missing out on players as an indictment of the front office is silly. At best you can say that about valancuinas since he actually went for mle type money. Even then he probably gets a better role over there. All the other ones were paid more than it took for it to be a good idea for lal.

Another bullet dodged!!!

The wording of “real offer” is from this wack aggregator NBA Central. Shams mentions the Lakers only expressed interest in a sign and trade, but never progressed beyond that.
Which I think is good, because we shouldn’t have surrendered assets for DeRozan.

Derozan would have been a terrible fit. For that kinda money, we were absolutely right not to go for it. Yup, everyone knows we want to move Dlo and nobody wants to help. Imagine a year from now trying to move derozan. Yikes.

Good. Hopefully they learned from the Russ trade that guys who can’t shoot threes and don’t play defense aren’t what you need as role players. And DeRozan doesn’t even play defense like Russ.
A lack of DeMar’s midrange is not what they were missing against the Nuggets. He also would have eaten into Reaves’ touches. A move just to make a move.

DLO + pick for equal yearly salary would be great. He got way more than that though.

Seriously, did anyone think DeRozan was the missing piece? Why make a move if it doesn’t elevate you

Good to hear we aren’t desperately going after names who are bad fits.

Lol, he “chose” to live in a meth riddled cow town over living in Miami….sure he did. Dude chose money. Nothing wrong with that, but the cope is just silly.

Can’t help but think him being LA with kendrick factored into this lol
