Also, that price is even below his cap hold, and could fairly easily be worked around to get to cap space. DD for 11.3 is a no-brainer.

Based on post season interview, he was talking about Lou/6th man of the year as an asset to keep. He didn't even offer him a contract.
Masai is putting the issue to rest.
What his true intentions are are known by him and his front office posse and we are left to speculate based on payroll structure and previous interviews what those intentions might be."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

"There has been some misunderstanding about what I've said about there being no talks during the season. It's not that, per se, we wouldn't like to have discussions with DeMar. It's that, given the CBA limitations on what we can extend him at, right now, it makes no sense to discuss it. He's been an all-star. He's worth more than that what we can offer him right now . If I could extend him right now [seeming to mean at the lower number possible now] I'd do it. But I expect DeMar to wait 'til the end of the season to get the best deal he can and I expect that we'll have discussions at the end of the season to see what makes sense for both sides."Last edited by Wild-ling#1; Wed Sep 30, 2015, 08:09 PM.

Others might understand this differently. I don't think this makes it clear that Masai will give DeRozan "max money". But then very few would expect him to say so this far in advance. Not me, certainly.

I'm hoping Demar will give us a discount (as JV seems to have ... maybe) not just because it will give us the impression he likes our city, country and franchise, but because it will signal - to everybody, including desirable free agents, that he feels this franchise is a good one with a bright future - and "close" enough to commit to in that way.
And I'd bet he will. And so I'm prepared to give him his "props" now. Cause I like him ... and I think that sort of thing helps. In a way, I think it's about the only positive thing a fan can do - besides watching the games and cheering.Last edited by Wild-ling#1; Thu Oct 1, 2015, 04:12 PM.
