If it is a 5 year contract and he signs it before anybody else this year, it will be the largest contract in the history of the NBA. The last Jordan-Bulls year will be a higher one year salary, but Derozan's contract of 5/153 will be bigger than Kobe's contract he signed in the mid 00s by almost $20 million.

I also don't view this as a terrible contract for the Raptors, who else are they getting up there to take their money? If they aren't overpaying Derozan, they'll have to overpay somebody else.

Batum.

Batum.

One of the most overrated players in the NBA, just like Derozan. Who would pick up the scoring load? As much as you hate shot creators with middling efficiency, everybody needs them unless you are the Warriors.

 JV can certainly score more if he gets the ball. It wouldn't take much to replace Derozan. Ball movement and an actual offensive gameplan would do it.

New thread is up boys. Wrap up your business in here and we'll see you there.

I agree, I like keeping this thing running so I can go back and look at the dumb #### somebody said.

Agreed, like the insinuation that DDeroz is the same player as Kobe Bryant.

New year, new thread. Makes it easier to find the terrible predictions IMO

Hey now. I said he was Kobe-lite.

Yeah, Derozan seems like a legitimately good person. That really isn't fair to him.
