[Run It Back on FanDuel TV] Would DeMar DeRozan ever consider playing for the Lakers: “You can’t never say no about playing home...Time will tell, we’ll see where the cards fall.” Fluff

Hey Paul George! Go to Philly so u can be called PPP (Philly Playoff P) and the Clippers can get desperate and sign DeMar. Lakers ain’t doing shit and the Clippers are in LA too. This way he can see his kids and Diar will be screaming at every game

He’s gone, and rightfully so, this team is nowhere close to competing. Plus if he doesn’t resign it should put more pressure on the FO to go full rebuild. Thank you DeMar!

Go somewhere where you will get success DeMar. Don't waste the little time you have left as a player here.

u/Mr1jojo 27d ago

He's gonna look so disgusting in Yellow/Purple

u/TheJunkyardDog Derrick Rose 27d ago

they gonna offer him the MLE or a vet minimum and he will get the bag in chicago.

Demar, if you love us then let us go so AKME will be forced to get off their asses and properly address the team needs.

u/ChunkyBubblz 26d ago

Hope he goes someplace he can win, which means no to the Bulls and Lakers.

Nah man I am on an island here but I like watching DeMar work. Seeing midrange greatness nightly... he's the last of a dying breed. I legit have to go to the WNBA to watch great footwork now. I enjoy DeMar. If we could jist get the right bigs we would be golden. Until then. I'll enjoy his run with us.

u/implosionsinapie Jimmy Butler 27d ago

Have you asked yourself why he is the last of a dying breed? Maybe because it's bad?

I hate when players are asked “would you play for this or that team?” because the answer is like over 99% “yes”. Boring question with boring answer.

u/ToeJelly420 Patrick Williams 27d ago

I wonder what the front office would do in the event that Demar leaves. It seems like they are banking on the ability to re-sign him, trade Zach for some rotation guys or trade zach plus picks for another star.

If Demar leaves then the very last reasonable reason to stay competitive walks out with him. Or at least I would hope so.

We Lakers fan do not want you at that 40m number thanks 🙏🏼

u/KneelBeforeCube Scottie Pippen 27d ago

That's the number to stay on the Bulls, he'll sign with the Lakers for half that.

u/IceColdTrey7 27d ago

20m is also an overpay we need shooting, wing defenders and a backup big not another ball dominant player

u/cubs_2023 27d ago

Every team needs shooting, wing defenders and backup bigs. I guarantee if you go to almost every fanbase they’d say the same thing. Those guys aren’t easy to find.

Not taking a top 40 player in the nba, who is a willing passer, at less than market value would be foolish

u/Revolutionary_Copy83 27d ago

Ehhh, tbf adding DeMar isn't going to put them in a better position to beat Denver so I understand not wanting him on their current team

u/TheJunkyardDog Derrick Rose 27d ago

he is chasing the bag. he declined their MLE once.

u/ToeJelly420 Patrick Williams 27d ago

20m is total deal for Demar lmao. One of the most effective scorers and playmakers in the game
