That is not a small duplication. They have very similar skill sets and both struggle with the 3 point shot. If they could shoot the 3, the duplication wouldn't matter because they could create space for each other, but as it is, neither can create space but both need space to operate. I like Demar, but if he can't develop his 3 point shot, then one of them (or both) have to go. I'd personally trade Gay first (financially its the better decision) and hope Demar can develop the 3.

Demar is only 23, that is definitely a kid. If you're younger than that, then you're also a kid.

Average starter.... Even on a good team
Dude is just average getting paid anything but next year.

He is an average starter at best and an above average player when looking at the entire league.
That is not an insult, in my opinion. In my opinion, it is the truth.

Brandon said "He's a back end rotation player on a successful team" meaning he's less than average and not a stater. To me that's an insult. Matt, you're saying he's an average starter which Brandon says he is not.You come at the King, you best not miss.

150 start.
Good teams tend to have depth.
Most rotations 8-9 deep = 240-270.
OK. You are right. Brandon is a little harsh here.
But this is spot on unless DD becomes a dramatic exception:
...nonsense about Derozan being a potential all-star. He is what he will always be. If he was going to be anything more, he would have shown it long before now....
And despite his not so flattering view on DeRozan, in my opinion he is not
...basically saying DD is garbage.
