Yeah, but we didn’t trade him mid season for assets, thereby losing him for nothing, so fail by Masai

This has made me think about how Portland fans, among other teams, don’t want to give up much for Siakam “because he’s a one year rental”.
Obviously kawhi is better than Siakam and you have to consider Danny green (also expiring though), but DeMar in his prime and a promising prospect in poeltl, plus a 1st means that we aren’t unreasonable to want a starter quality prospect in return for Siakam. Yet other fans only think we should get scraps
Edit: keep in mind I’m only talking the likes of Simons or Mathurin (I know ben won’t be moved – just an example)

It’s wild to remember because r/nba was really expecting OG to be part of this trade with Deebo. Really showed how much OG was valued at that time.
The 3 prospects people expected to be somewhat a part of it was OG, Pascal and Jak.
Hilariously, we have all 3 of them right now.

It should read “for Demar Derozan, a 2019 FRP, a 2024 FRP, Dragic, khem, a 2023 2RP and a 2025 2RP”

That was such a fun year to watch raptors basketball, I looked forward to every game. Looking forward to getting back to that level. If we never get back to that level, I’m just happy it happened 😀

DeMar helped me get back into NBA basketball, so I was gutted when they trade him, but the championship team was so fun

“Raptors in driver’s seat for Kawhi Leonard”
I’ll forever remember this comment from Windhorst. I thought to myself “no fucking way that happens.”

My ten year went to his Bball camp today wearing a DeRozan jersey Tshirt.
I’m like that shirt is still around? How old must that jersey be.. . He said well it has to be at least 5 years old! He knows his NBA history real well.
I think I got it at a game in like 2014 or 2015 maybe? Then it slowly shrunk, his big bro wore the crap out of it after it was too small for me, and the lil guy inherited it this winter.

Did it really change forever? Feels like we’re back in the same boat or worse off.
But the ride between was amazing.

This trade has to be a top 5 trade of all time right?
