No thanks, give the young guys a chance. Demar isn’t ready mentally to take a back seat
SkinfluteHero
For the right price I’m okay with it but I wouldn’t wanna ruin our future draft capital for it
wondermayo
Would he be fine with the fact that the Spurs are Wemby’s team now? I have a feeling he wouldn’t.
tomhorek
Yes please
wryano
YES give me at least one more season of LONE STAR DEMARRRRRR

What a crap move
Guy can’t shoot another one
BusterStarfish
I don’t believe this for a second. He makes no sense on this team.

I love DeMar but this isn’t a good idea at all. This is not what we need in terms of spacing, defense and ball movement. Only good thing I can think of is him helping the youngsters as a vet
Nomad942
DeMar is a great player and classy guy, will probably go down as one of the more underrated/forgotten Spurs.
But I’m not sure he really fits this team. We need spacing and ball movement. Grandpa CP3 fits that mold—DeMar doesn’t.
PressureMiserable
Come home deebo, he’d be a great starting sf, tho limited he made our offense p decent despite the midrange shots and was a great passer
5thgenCali
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I’d actually be fine with him taking KJ minutes and explore a trade for him. I love KJ’s energy and his love of his team mates but I think we’ve seen the top of his arc. Only on Like a 2 year max deal for DeMar, no more
TTUSpurs_fan
Just don’t think it works unless it’s a 1 year deal where he’s trying to recoup value to move on. Don’t think the fit is good enough to justify a multi year deal
Lildenzelio
We need a damn sg I’m cool with it

Make him the 6th man who gets to close out games if the matchup is right. As a utility player and mentor it would be great.
Adjralph
Yall better be nice to him if he comes back.
Titronnica
Look, I appreciate DeMar and am grateful for what he did here, but he isn’t a fit now.
We’re trying to develop young guys, and DeMar is someone who only plays with the ball in his hands, while also being a poor 3 point shooter. The fit just isn’t there.
His best bet is to sign as the bench leader for a more competitive team.

One year deal, hell yes. Anything more, no way.

The split in opinion on this is wild, tbh. Reading down the comments is like back and forth Miller Lite commercials from the 80’s.
*Less filling/Tastes great!*
I am of the opinion that if it happens, I will be happy. If it doesn’t, I’m already happy and looking forward to the season.
lennycooke
Would having DeMar for a year or two speed up or slow down Wembys progression? This is the only thing that matters
Bonesawisready5
If it happens I am fine with it but where would he play? Wemby Sochan DeRozan Vassell Paul is fine but I would really prefer castle starts for defense. At the same time Demar basically plays as a PG. That said I’d rather have options with demar
wizsoxx
This aint the move
mallllls
Why?
bobarobot
He kind of mailed it in his last year as a Spur but if PATFO want him back then shoooot. I know better than to go against what they say.
Tapprunner
Nope.
I don’t doubt he’s a good guy. But he is old and needs the ball in his hands, and doesn’t seem like he’s ready to be a role player deferring to young guys.
He turns 35 next month. He was good last season. But at 35, would anyone be shocked if he started a fairly steep decline? You shouldn’t. Most guys don’t age like LeBron. Everyone should expect that he’ll be more susceptible to injury and start having a harder time getting separation for his mid-range game.
Speaking of which, who here is going to love watching him look off Wemby so he can get up his 10th pull up 17 footer of the first half throughout the course of the season?
DDR’s skill set definitely makes sense on some teams. His mid-range actually is impressive, in the right context. I just don’t see how he fits at all with our team.
SuccotashConfident97
If we’re actually going to start trying to win games I wouldn’t mind. At that point, let’s just start going more all in and trade for Garland while we’re at it.
rez_at_dorsia
Considering our lack of talent and how poor we were last year these comments are hilarious. Lot of unwarranted DeMar slander in here
pwtrash
I love Demar – one of my favorite people in the league.
But no way. We need spacing, and I don’t think that’s him.
RCA2CE
My initial reaction was meh, then I was remembering him leaving us and he said he felt irrelevant, we weren’t competing, we weren’t on TV and he felt lost.. and im all about it.
I LOVE competitors, players that have the dawg in them are priceless. Come back to the home you didn’t know was home.. but it do.
fartalldaylong
Not enough ball between Demar and Paul.

Love Demar, but HELL NO! He doesn’t fit the roster and will be way too expensive. Not worth it.

God, no.

I’d like this a lot more if we didn’t already get CP3. Demar turned into a really solid playmaking wing in SA.
But if we’re going to be signing another vet, it needs to be one who doesn’t need a lot of touches.
Beautiful-Coconut-96
Fwiw his last 3 years in Chicago 3point% were: 33%, 32%, 35%
Much better than when he was in SA

Short deal for the right price. Great locker room presence. I’m down.
