Marilyn Dubinski: Not really. I know all their teams are doing very well, but I haven’t been individually stat-watching them on a nightly basis. That being said, it’s been impossible not to see DeRozan plastered all over the news with the Bulls near the top of the East, and while I’m happy for him and all the overdue credit he is receiving, it’s too bad it’s often being used to criticize the Spurs for allegedly “misusing him”, even though he has continuously praised Gregg Popovich and the club for making him a better player, and his play this season isn’t that different from his seasons here; he just has a better, younger core around him.
Former Spurs are thriving elsewhere, and letting them go was the right call
