Derozen is in toronto which has been rumored to be willing to make trades. we need a big time  scorer

I think derozen could be that guy
this is an espn analyses of derozem


Scouting report
+ Outstanding athlete with a scorer's mentality.
+ Gets to the rim and aggressively draws contact.
+ Improved playmaker and perimeter shooter.

Analysis
Remember when DeRozan looked like just another lanky athlete who shot too much and would never be a starter on a winning team? My, how times have changed. DeRozan has improved and diversified his game each season, to the point where he earned his first All-Star selection last year and then contributed on Team USA's FIBA World Cup championship squad this summer.

Blessed with outstanding leaping ability, speed and a knack for scoring, DeRozan now can influence a game in multiple ways. He averaged 22.7 PPG for the Raptors, and although he shot just 42.9 percent from the field (the second-worst mark of his career), he attacked the basket relentlessly to earn eight free throw attempts per game. DeRozan embraced added responsibility after the Raptors dealt Rudy Gay to Sacramento in December, averaging 23.1 PPG, 4.5 RPG and 4.3 APG the rest of the way. He increased his scoring again in the playoffs to 23.9, although he shot just 38.5 percent.

DeRozan is a handful to stop off the dribble, as he combines his athletic gifts with a variety of moves and a fearless approach to attacking the rim. He averaged 7.2 drives per game, according to Spor****'s player tracking data, the fifth-most for a non-point guard. And he showed an increased ability to set up teammates. He also is comfortable pulling up for a midrange J, ranking 16th in the league with 5.6 PPG on pullups, although he could stand to improve his 36.1 percent shooting on those plays. DeRozan also has significantly improved his defense, ranking as one of the best isolation defenders in the league last season (0.41 points allowed per play, according to Synergy).

DeRozan has slowly expanded his game beyond the arc, making 64 treys last season. He connected on just 30.5 percent of them, though, which doesn't justify his 210 attempts. Given that DeRozan still is just 25 years old and has a proven track record of improvement, it's a fair bet that he'll be able to increase that percentage this season.

I'm a fan of DeRozan, but don't see any realistic way in which we could acquire him.

I view Derozan as a poor man's D-Wade. I'm not sure if his skillset lines up with the team at the moment, but his talent would undeniably outweigh any stylistic concerns as long as the Celtics could get him for a fair package (which seems to be the stickling point here).

I was perusing various blogs on SB Nation and found this on Raptors HQ:

Just an idea of mine, but a swap centered around DeRozan and Bradley could make sense if this is actually the Raptors vision for the future...

DeRozan is not an efficient player. He's overrated.
41% FG and 28% at the 3pts line (1.5 attempts per game).
He's negative on advanced stats.

I would definitely love it if we could trade for Derozan. Who would Tor want though? Sully?

Could Derozan be bumped up to the 3 or would he essentially add to our crowded guard inventory?

Far from it.

Derozan is an impact player that would fit really well in Boston.

I think I agree with this.

I don't quite get this "poor man's" reference.

I mean financially, I am a poor man's Donald Trump.

The two players are totally different.

If anything Derozan is younger and hungrier.

Same kind of slasher's game based on athleticism, but one that isn't nearly as polished and will probably never be as good at their equivalent times?

Or maybe DeRozan kicks defenders when going up for shots around the rim?

Sorry, I can't resist getting in digs on Wade.  ;D

Always a good plan to start a thread like this about an hour after someone else so we can be sure to have a disjointed discussion about the guy.
