DeMar was still great in San Antonio, but no one gave him the credit for it.

[@epicgaming358]

Agreed

[@mrvxg4820]

1000% agree! He actually became a more efficient player in SA and a much better passer. The media trashed him cuz he doesn’t shoot 3s and Tor won without him (Lebron going to the West helped a bit). It’s was all false narratives.

[@kozboyzprod9431]

I agree

[@essviot1165]

No one noticed his skill. Essentially cuz he was on the spurs. Fax

[@Hustlinhusky22]

Pop was using Demar at power forward and it made him better. Just cause his scoring was down, doesn’t mean his time on the Spurs was a wash

[@jaysenbustamante9926]

DeMar bettered his FG %, shot selection and passing got better

I appreciate what pop did i see @TL point

[@Kyle-no4bc]

Pop didn’t make demar better, derozan has always been the same guy, each and every year he works and refines his skills to make his game better. But I agree with u, his time on the Spurs wasn’t a wash but it was definitely wasted in my eyes Cos of the team going into rebuild mode

[@todro8410]

simply put most youtubers dont really watch games, they just follow the trend to get the views

[@jacksoneide9850]

As a Spurs fan, whenever I hear someone say that DeMar fell off in San Antonio, I get the sense that they didn't watch much or any Spurs basketball during that time

[@CeeJayHoopTalks]

He clearly didn’t

[@aldrago_official]

Exactly , although he made the playoffs only once out of the three seasons in San Antonio he was still putting up averages of 21/6/6 and 21/4/7 in both years when they didn't make the playoffs . Its just that the spurs were dreadful back then and the year they made it to the playoffs he put up averages of 22/6/6 which clearly shows that he wasn't the problem. All they had to do was surround him with a little talent and good role players . Oh yeah and he was putting up these numbers at a very efficient rate Edit : oh ya and Demar himself said his time with the spurs helped him elevate his game to what it is now . Pop is undoubtedly one of the greatest coaches in the history of NBA and he often played DeRozan in the PF position there which eventually added the versatility which is on full display this season

[@EG101_Official]

Exactly!

[@phengmoua2389]

Agreed. He became more efficient and improved his playmaking. The team was just bad.

[@dallasmavs77]

It's kinda like the rest of the team wasnt that good and people didnt see DeRozan's efforts and his excellent performance

[@qwestionz4140]

Bro what???? Demar went to SA and became a complete player. Pop played him at ever position 1-4 and put the ball in his hands in the clutch. SA is the reason why Demar is who he is today. Hes a better passer, has more confidence late in games, rebounds better and is all around better and more versatile than he's ever been BECAUSE he was on the spurs for a few years. Also I'm pretty sure he signed with the Bulls and wasn't traded.

[@littlejmillzy9165]

It was a trade 😂 he wasn’t signed and he wasn’t as good at SA

[@DOMSHOMIT]

@@littlejmillzy9165 maybe sign and trade?

[@qwestionz4140]

@@littlejmillzy9165 it was a sign and trade... so he agreed to the contract and team but the bulls had to make a trade to get cap space for him... and you don't watch basketball if you think Demar was bad in SA. Yes he's better now, but he developed into who he is now in SA.

[@jaywayz1877]

Right I thought I was tweeking

[@The23op]

DeMar credits the Spurs for his development and you think he wasn’t the right fit? 💀

[@RJ-ox3gi]

Jarrett Allen wasn’t a let down he was a mid first round pick. Glad he’s doing well.

[@harishkumar-iv2jo]

Austin Sweatt is the most Casual Fan out there. It's so evident so many times. With his all time 75 list and the other videos. Demar played a key role in Spurs but he was always underrated. To say that's his worst years is not only harsh but ignorant.

[@liam7397]

@DB63 tbh harish isn't wrong you're a casual if you didnt notice his comments and reasonings and biases

[@BrickFighter13]

DeRozen was still good with San Antonio, it's just that the Spurs haven't been "The Team" after the big 3 left, so his games didn't get recognition.

[@ashwinranji8790]

Wiggins trade to the warriors revived his career. Became All star starter, saved us in the finals game 5, and played great defense that helped us get a championship

[@RaptorsMonkey]

yo Austin, don't listen to the haters, they just people scrolling from vid to vid trying to make everyone's day worse. keep the vids coming!

[@splitsecond8356]

Videos like this are fine. But when he makes those videos like Curry > Hakeem with clear bias in play, there's a reason why people get upset.

[@Dewey247]

@@splitsecond8356 still even if that is right this is all his opinion and if you don’t care for it don’t watch, or understand it is an opinion just like how so believe lebron is the goat , but this is also your only opinion so I can’t really say anything either

[@splitsecond8356]

@@Dewey247 your mixing up opinions and claims. Yes, your opinion can be your claim but your claim isn't always your opinion. The claim is a statement that justifies your said stance on whatever the topic or subject is. From there people give reasonings and arguments over that said claim. In videos like his top 75 players vid, he gave reasoning for all his placements. But if the reasoning (why he chose to put a player where) and the arguments (why a player is above another player) is wrong then people can give their counters. Case and point Curry > Hakeem. He doesn't give reasoning for it but he has a long history of being bias.

[@roylopez305]

idk if its just me but Jarrett allen's offense was improving along side kyrie before he got traded to the cavs.

I miss watching the Ben Wallace Pistons. They were extremely average but played such tight defense they won a championship. I would love to see that pistons team vs the bad boys

[@nicolasbruno9877]

As a harden fan, I need to say that I‘m thankful for everything Harden did for our team. Sure, he bullied himself out but I still thank him for all the good times. Thank you harden… thank you

[@Dollar_Mike]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also got a lot better when he was traded to okc

[@akaashganatra229]

Shai was a rookie when he got traded.

[@romenweber2473]

i got a few more, dlo, ingram, lonzo, josh hart, anyone that was dradyed by the lakers in recebt times and traded

[@mehlessmidori602]

Wow. Never knew Wallace was on the Wizards and Magic.

[@QuackersLuv]

Right away this tells me your a casual for having Demar on this list.. dude evolved as a player with the Spurs and got way better overall

[@EG101_Official]

I agree with the harden one. If he was t traded to Houston, he would’ve had a ring, but he would never be an MVP or a future Hall of Famer. The league would be so different if things didn’t go down the way they did.

[@habubaruba9444]

Demar was literally better in san antonio then in toronto. His scoring went down but his effeciency, shot selection, defense and passing got better

[@SezginHD]

its so amazing how Demar Derozan went from being a 7th seed and missing the playoffs twice to being one of the best players of the season just because of a trade.

[@jptyrannosaurus29gaming73]

Demar has had an Meteoric rise. He developed a 3pt shot. Bettered his playmaking and overall game in general

[@juliothom2408]

No. KD is still a snake and a poser.

Do trades that broke nba players

[@swarlesbarkely2449]

I was hoping for more examples from the 80s and 90s. It seems like this video thinks only recent trades saved careers. Then throw kevin johnson and ben wallace in there.

[@part6133]

So regarding Kevin Durant in your video. Kevin got to shine in the series against the Bucks but Brooklyn barely lost with many players injured and hobbling. Durant is the best but he does not want the challenge of playing on a mediocre team even though his contract is immense spoiled brat in my opinion

You can also add LeBron James. Was drafted 1 overall in the 2003 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers out of St. Vincent St. Mary’s high school, he was named the 2004 Rookie of the year and ultimately failed to win the highly coveted championship which was the reason why he left for the Miami Heat where he will team up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh and won 2 championships in 2012 and 2013, and then he decided to return home to Cleveland teaming up with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love and give them a championship which he did in 2016, then Cleveland allowed him to leave for the lights LA and team up with Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma, and Lonzo Ball and won a championship with AD in 2020. But I believe that when he left for the Heat changed him and saved his career. Miami ignited something in him, LeBron ultimately activated beast mode, and became a god
