    Well after all the Spur's Jurassic Park Medical staff-type blundering he passes after-all.

    After the trade, this is the same dude that tweeted out this...



    This should be good and I hope DeMar goes in on Masai... Kawhi's ears better perk up on how he should handle this snake while he's up north.

    I'm interested to see how he looks...but not mad at this. Leaves teams guessing and that only means more leverage for us and those other dudes down the secret passage way.

    Btw, DeMar is going in...

    Both the spurs and raptors are showing their true colors. I'll be shocked if Kawhi stays

    Transcript (of only Toronto betrayal part) from Chris Haynes (CH) interview with DeMar DeRozan (DD)....juicy!

    Masai's a snake for real. Bryan's probably like, "I told y'all...shoulda just did it from my own phone instead."

    Live look @Kawbye in the not so distant future...

    It IS after all, a business. Plain and simple. Any professional athlete who thinks or acts as if it is otherwise will most likely regret it when something like this happens.

    After DDR spurned the Lakers years ago, I was kinda (nah, REALLY) hoping something like this would happen, and here we are.:)

    It is a business, and I think most players understand that concept. But you can do business in an upfront, open, honest way, with integrity. Or you can do business in a lying, two-faced, manipulative way. I think DD is hurt because Masai was acting like the Raptors do business the first way when they actually handled it the second way.

    Also DeMar left money on the table by not taking the max and re-upping 30 mins into free agency per Masai's request. He literally "sacrificed" for that team.

    In an ironic twist, DeMar is the guy that spurned us by not granting us a meeting in 2016, but can still play the unsung hero in indirectly bringing back Kawhi for us. You can't make this s*** up haha.



    And here we thought Kawhi was a mute....(reference to ridiculously bad audio in the video)

    yeah, i'm not sure what you're talking about, really. tony parker? some of these guys' primary issue was that people didn't want to follow them.

    That was some real stuff from DeRozan. I was a little worried he'd hold this interview and end up going easy on Toronto and Ujiri. NOPE.

    What an awful, awful look for that franchise.

    We are talking about charisma, not just skills and being a leader on the floor.

    Charisma- compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.
    Charisma is the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you.
    Charisma : a personal magic of leadership arousing special popular loyalty or enthusiasm for a public figure (such as a political leader; a special magnetic charm or appeal

    Even if you are not one who is drawn to LeBron, this is something he has in spades. It's ridiculous to think otherwise.

    If you cannot play you cannot lead. That is the glitch you forgot about.

    I don't see anything from him i would not from any other no charisma douche with his level of talent.
