With that said, I think trading DeMar for a starting caliber PF would make this team much better both in the short term and long term.

I'm underwhelmed.
Carroll is highest paid player on team and he is a glue player. His strengths as a player are the exact opposite of what the team preached last year.
PG is thinner.
Big Depth is thinner.
3 days in though. Lots of time.
Work some magic masai
- We have 4 draft picks in the next 2 years
- A very good SF that is tough and plays both ends of the floor on a reasonable deal given the cap increases coming
- Replaced GV with a young defensive minded PG with great size for the position and who should be able to contribute rather quickly
- We still have 10million in cap space to use to address the needs you outlined
How we fill in the rest of the roster will depend on where Aldridge decides to go.
If he goes to Spurs, we go after CoJo
If he goes to Rockets, we go after TJones (even if he doesn't we should go after Jones)
If he goes to Suns, we go after Tucker and Morris
If he goes to Dallas, umm...ok lets hope he doesn't go to Dallas.
Point is, we're in a good spot with solid flexibility now and in the future, we have assets that can be used in trades and if JV can finally make a decent jump we might have a pretty solid rotation that can atleast be competitive in the East.Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
Because its 2015

Look guys, this isn't high school anymore, where rumours and spoken words actually mean anything. Anything can change from 1 day to the next.
Masai's gonna spend $25 million/yr on DeRozan because he might have made a promise to Carroll. smh.

Coming from the man himself, it sounds like the Raptors sold him by offering him a larger role on the offense. That and the money."My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr

One thing that this summer has shown us is that the salaries have gone up significantly. Under the new Cap, DD is well worth the 20-22 million.
If DD improves, he will be a great #2 in this team and can be used as a tool to attract FAs.
It is true that there are unsubstantial rumours that DD is asking for 25 million but that is just rumours and there are always negotiation.
To summarize, Anti-Demar Camp will have a whole season of bashing this guy in the "Everything Demar Derozen" Thread

anyways, my thoughts so far
Carroll wasn't even my 3rd choice of a swing to bring in, especially not at 15 mill... but i don't mind it. IF he's our SF. he's a 3 and D guy who's relentless and will be good for the locker room. if they seriously brought him in to play PF in a small ball lineup then i don't know what MU is doing and i'm really, really disappointed. like, completely bummed. Carroll has never played PF and there's probably a good reason for that. he's a 3 who can D up guards too and maybe switch out on smaller, more athletic PF's but that's it. i keep telling myself MU obviously knows this. if you wanted a small ball 4 you should've went after Harris.
i still hope DD is traded. i still hope Harris is brought in (small ball 4 that'll work!). i still hope MU knows what he's doing.@sweatpantsjer
