由于德罗赞的市场价值似乎不高，马刺队可能会考虑这位球星侧翼。
随着大多数大牌球员都已达成协议，自由球员市场已经平静下来。唯一剩下的球星是德罗赞，他的天赋一直没有得到市场的认可。有传言称，一些球队对他感兴趣，而据《迈阿密先驱报》的巴里·杰克逊(Barry Jackson)报道，现在我们可以将马刺队也加入到这份名单中。
据消息人士透露，国王队已经与公牛队就德罗赞的签换交易进行了谈判。马刺现在也成为了一种可能性。尽管德罗赞对迈阿密很感兴趣，但热火目前无法满足他的要求……热火希望在今年夏天有机会得到它想要的一些球员。

你可能会好奇巴里·杰克逊是谁，以及他是否值得信任。他是一位来自南佛罗里达州的资深记者，据悉与热火队内部有消息来源，所以即使他不是NBA的常驻新闻爆料人，他的信息也不能被完全忽视。让我们仔细看看这个传闻。
为什么这说得通
马刺队是少数几支有薪资空间的球队之一，无论是在工资帽以下还是以上运作。他们过去曾与德罗赞共事，并且已经引进了一位老将克里斯·保罗，因此他们现在可能比之前认为的更想赢球。德罗赞将为文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在内线提供一个更可靠的外线得分选择，并且可以在关键时刻接管比赛，因为那时很难将球交给文班。保罗和德罗赞将是斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)的两位良师益友，而且德罗赞现在应该不会特别昂贵或挑剔，因为大多数球队只能给他提供中产特例。即使配合并不理想，但天赋就是天赋，德罗赞有可能在以后被交易。
为什么这说不通
除了增加一些进攻创造力，以及波波维奇与德罗赞关系良好之外，其他方面都不支持这次潜在的重聚。德罗赞不会投篮，这使得他与杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)搭档首发阵容非常不合适，而且他也不擅长防守，因此他无法取代索汉成为首发。据报道，他仍在争取一份大合同，所以直接签下他似乎不太可能，而且根据规则，签换交易的合同必须超过一年，这将干扰圣安东尼奥传闻中在2025年尽可能腾出薪资空间的计划。球场上的配合很糟糕，达成对双方都有利的协议将非常困难，而且德罗赞可能希望为比年轻的马刺队更好的球队效力。
马刺队和德罗赞重聚似乎不太可能。报道表明，德罗赞认为自己是一位球星，并希望得到相应的报酬，这意味着他可能不会给圣安东尼奥打折。管理层已经多次表示，他们不会操之过急，而与德罗赞签下一份多年合同将违背这些说法。而且，无论是对德罗赞还是马刺来说，球场上的配合都太糟糕了，双方都无法说服自己，认为这是一种长期有效的组合。
这仍然是一件值得关注的事情。即使马刺现在只是在做尽职调查，但如果德罗赞找不到下家，而圣安东尼奥决定他们想要更多的进攻创造力，即使是以牺牲空间为代价，情况也可能在以后发生变化。

Rumor: DeMar DeRozan to the Spurs is now “a possibility”
The Spurs might be taking a look at the star wing, now that his market value seems low.
Free agency has quieted down, as most of the big names have agreed to deals. The only star out there is DeMar DeRozan, who has faced a dry market for his talents. A few teams have been rumored to be interested in him, and now we can add the Spurs to the list, according to The Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson.
Kings have talked to Bulls about DeRozan sign and trade, per source. Spurs also now another possibility. Despite DeRozan interest in Miami, Heat not in position to give him what he’s seeking at this time… Heat will hope opportunity on some player it wants arises this summer.

You might be wondering who Barry Jackson is and whether should be trusted. He’s a veteran reporter from the South Florida area who’s been known to have sources within the Heat’s organization, so his information can’t be dismissed outright even if he’s not a habitual newsbreaker in the NBA. Let’s take a closer look at the rumor.
Why it makes sense
The Spurs are one of the few teams out there with money to offer, whether they operate below or above the cap. They have a past with DeRozan and added a veteran already in Chris Paul, so they might be more interested in winning now than previously assumed. DeRozan would provide a more reliable scoring option in the perimeter to complement Victor Wembanyama inside and could take over in the clutch, when it can be hard to get the ball to Wemby. Paul and DeRozan would be two great mentors for Stephon Castle and DeRozan shouldn’t be particularly expensive or picky now that most teams can only offer him the mid-level exception. Even if the fit isn’t ideal, talent is talent and DeRozan could potentially be flipped later.
Why it doesn’t make sense
Aside from adding some shot creation and Pop having a good relationship with DeRozan, not much else makes sense about a potential reunion. DeRozan can’t shoot, which makes him a terrible fit in the starting lineup next to Jeremy Sochan, and he can’t defend, so he can’t replace Sochan as a starter. He’s still reportedly holding out for a big contract so signing him outright seems unlikely, and by the rules, sign-and-trade contracts have to be for more than one year, which would interfere with San Antonio’s rumored plans of having as much cap space as possible in 2025. The fit on the court is bad, a deal that makes sense for both parties would be tough to iron out and DeRozan is probably looking to play for a better team than the young Spurs.
A reunion between the Spurs and DeRozan seems unlikely. Reports suggest DeRozan considers himself a star and wants to be paid as one, which means he probably won’t give San Antonio a discount. The front office has said time and time again that they won’t skip steps, and bringing in DeMar on a multi-year contract would go against those claims. And the fit is just too bad on the court for either DeRozan or the Spurs to convince themselves that this a pairing that would work well long-term.
It’s still something to keep an eye on. Even if the Spurs are just doing their due diligence for now, things could change later on if DeRozan can’t find a team and San Antonio decides it wants more shot creation, even if it comes at the expense of spacing.
