The Raptors are gonna add to DeRozan for a year of a guy who doesn’t want to be there. Amazing.

 

[MMC]

Looking at DeRozan’s IG story, he’s devastated

 

[MMC]

It’s too bad it’s so late and I have this whole thread to myself. This would be blowing up if people were awake

 

[Ivan13]

If I were DeRozan I'd be thrilled to get to play for Pop.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This is going to turn out really really bad for the Raptors lol

 

[LaVar]

hahaha yes

demar + OG please.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Don't expect him to play too many games next season.

 

[le_sean]

Doesn’t make sense to me. I get Kawhi is better than DD but it’s still not even close to being enough to beat the Celtics. You needed three of Lowry, Kawhi and DD for that.

 

[ShootIt]

Can't see this working out well for the Raptors.
Unless they wanted out more cap space by getting rid of DeRozan

 

[Paris in Flames]

Trading literally all your best assets for a man who ALREADY is being reported as not wanting to play for you.

Feels...like a bad move.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Man, if this blows up in Ujiri's face I really hope it's the last move he makes with the Raps.

On that note, why do we never hear from Bobby Webster, the team's actual GM?

Demar wanted to stay, and Kawhi doesn't want to be here. Trying to force a square peg in a round hole just for the sake of shaking things up, sounds colossally stupid IMO.

 

[King Mapes]

This is so bad for us. Demar really wanted to stay, this guy is a FA next summer and didn't want to come here. Looks like he gets hurt a lot too. Man.... this could get bad

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Lol what are you doing Toronto?

 

[Jaguar God]

What an amazing move!!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

The Raptors had a nice 5/6-year run. I guess it will be back to being jokes very very shortly. Was fun while it lasted...

I get that DeMar was a choke-artist, but at least he got the Raps to the dance. Kawhi will mope all year and likely won't play much.

Stupid move unless they can convince Leonard to care/re-sign.

 

[GKJ]

Is next year another big free agent year? Goes without saying how big of a risk this is, and if he's dead set on LA then it's not unless Toronto is fine being out of DeRozan's contract.

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

I love the fact that Kawhi Leonard went public, stating he doesn't want to play for the Raptors... lol, who the f*** cares where you want to play you idiot!?!?

If we can land DeRozan+ for that injury prone princess, that would be a steal and a half right there.

Well, yeah, that's the general consensus going around right now.

Big coup for the Spurs if they can land Derozan++, in exchange for a talented malcontent who wants nothing to do with Canada.

If Anunoby is part of this deal, too.....worst trade ever.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

If either OG or Siakam are in the deal I'm going to break something

 

[Dr Pepper]

I've heard either OG or Poeltl.

If it's one or the other it better be Poeltl.

Man, this could be a disaster. Sure on paper Kawhi becomes arguably the best player in the conference, but if he doesn't even want to play in Toronto then what's the point?

Ujiri needs to make the greatest sales pitch of his life just to convince Kawhi to try.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Paul George didn't want to play originally in OKC either

 

[le_sean]

Whoa no OG or Siakam and they get Green. Not bad.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

hahaha, giving up DeRozan for half an injured Kawhi that might play half the year?

well, thats 1 less team the Celtics have to worry about

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Toronto wtf he doesn’t even wanna be there LOL
