The San Antonio Spurs have reportedly made DeMar DeRozan available in trade talks, not even one year after acquiring him in a blockbuster trade that sent Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors.

With the Raptors one win away from an NBA championship going into Monday night and the Spurs coming off a first-round exit, it seems fairly safe to say who won that trade.

Of course, DeRozan was not the only piece the Spurs received in return, but he was certainly the main one, and the fact that San Antonio is apparently already thinking about flipping him speaks volumes.

Regardless, here are three reasons why the Spurs should absolutely try to trade DeRozan.

3. He Turns 30 this Summer

While DeRozan didn't really show many signs of slowing down this season, averaging 21.2 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game, the fact of the matter is that he will turn 30 years old this August, meaning a decline is around the corner.

The thing with DeRozan is that he is not the kind of guy who will age gracefully like LaMarcus Aldridge. DeRozan is someone who relies heavily—if not almost exclusively—on his athleticism to do what he does, as most of DeRozan's offense comes from beating defenders off the dribble, finishing around the rim and drawing fouls.

If you're one of those people who reads very deeply into statistics, you probably noticed that DeRozan's free-throw rate dipped a bit this season, as he took just 5.7 free throws per game. That represented his lowest mark since 2013 and was also the first time he did not average seven foul shots per game during that span.

Pretty soon, DeRozan will reach the point where he is no longer blowing by defenders, which will make him very guardable.

2. His Contract

One of the biggest reasons why so many were scratching their heads at the Spurs' decision to go after DeRozan in the Leonard trade talks was because of his salary.

DeRozan is under contract through the end of next season, but he also has a $27.7 million player option for 2021. Given his declining status around the league, it's not out of the realm of possibility he picks that option up.

Even if he doesn't, San Antonio is on the hook for $27.7 million next season, which is a lot of money to put into a guy who wasn't even able to get you out of the first round in spite of playing alongside Aldridge and a decent roster this year.

The Spurs could potentially clear some cap room with a DeRozan deal, allowing them to pursue other free agents.

1. He Hasn't Been Able to Get it Done

At this point, we know who DeMar DeRozan is. He is a fine scorer, but he doesn't space the floor and he is a poor defensive player in spite of his physical gifts.

DeRozan has been in the league for 10 years, and while he has made four All-Star teams, the end results have always been the same. He just is not the type of player who can lead his team to a championship.

That isn't to say DeRozan can't be a part of a title team, but if you are asking him to be the No. 1 or No. 2 option, you are just asking for trouble.

The Spurs have a lot of young talent they can build around for the future, and they would be better off punting on DeRozan and adding some more young pieces in order to fully facilitate a much-needed rebuild.

Tim Duncan isn't walking through that door anymore, and it's time for the Spurs to realize that.
