Per our CARMELO projections, DeMar DeRozan's next 3 seasons are worth the equivalent of $69 million in cap space, and he'll be paid $83 million. So, not a lot of excess value there. 53eig.ht/2uFy0qE
I should add: DeRozan's a guy where the advanced stats, especially RPM, value him way less than traditional ones. And very interesting to see how Popovich will use his skill set. Still, would you rather have DeRozan or $29m in cap space? Given next year's FA market, it's close.
If Toronto was roughly indifferent toward keeping DeRozan, the trade becomes Poetel and a heavily-protected 1st round pick for Danny Green and an X% chance/lottery ticket that the Kawhi situation works out well long-term for the Raps. Probably a good trade as long as X is >=25%.
