NBA: Predicting where the best 2020 free agents will land
DeMar DeRozan
Player option (Accepts)
Despite the rumors that have circulated DeMar DeRozan wanting out of San Antonio and his potential demand if he hits the market being high, I think he will accept his player option and choose to play-out the final year of his contract with the San Antonio Spurs.
First off, I think the rumors for the most part are just white noise and DeRozan’s interest in remaining a Spur, for the time being, is pretty strong.
Although whether the Spurs will want him back long-term after this year or not is up in the air, DeRozan has a lot to give to this young Spurs squad. He and LaMarcus Aldridge should be set to make at least one last run in the Alamo.
Plus, another solid scoring season can bolster DeRozan’s market value in the 2021 offseason heading into his age-32 season.
