RE: #36 NBA Moves! Raptors trade DeMar DeRozan. My Personal Opinion (Haas Picks)
Toronto took the bait that Philly avoided. They traded their best player for a rental. If Kawhi doesn't stay after next year then the raptors played themselves into mediocrity. This is why Philly stopped pursuing him, SA wanted something big (Simmon, Embiid) and Kawhi refused to agree to play with them long-term. Toronto bankrupted themselves in the hopes that they can sell Kawhi on Toronto before next season is up. I liked DeRozan, very talented and continuously improving. Now I think he will be overlooked simply bc the West is so stacked. Bad move by Toronto and by SA because I don't think DeRozan will fit very well with the Spurs.
If Leonard does not stay atleast they will have cap-space to rebuild, as I mentioned would have loved to see DeRozan at the Raptors his whole career. but if they make it to the finals this year they will have the best season ever, wait and see
