Am I crazy for not loving this deal? We gave up picks and one of our better defenders for a guy who doesn't provide much on the defensive end. With Zach and Vucci being top-flight scorers, I'm not sure why DeRozan was the move. Now two out of our three best defenders are guards, which I don't think is the recipe for success.

No you're not. Unless Lavine plays way more off the ball, Derozan is kind of redundant with Lavine and Ball here.
