That’s loyalty thing rears it’s ugly head again .... Demar derozen

[Abuchunky]

zac greinke said it best


"it's obviously the No. 1 thing," Greinke said. "I could play for the worst team if they paid the most. ... If the last-place team offers $200 million and the first-place team offers $90 million, I'm going to go for the $200-million no matter what team it was." (

Derozon embraces Toronto like no other all star player has.

They letting him go for a player that does NOT want to be there. And will almost certainly bounce after the season.

That Paul George fluke got teams gassed up.

Think about that.

 

[The Connoisseurs]

Damn

One time for Compton

Can we get a Demar derozan face on the DAMN cover ?

(Got you on a rep)

Idiots are purposely ignoring this.

I've said it before but I'm glad players are doing what's best for them, that whole one jersey for your career shyt doesn't matter anymore. You got Kyrie & Kawhi with championship rings holding teams hostage to make sure they get what they want for developing their craft, on the other hand you get the Clippers trading Blake after calling him a lifer, now Derozan.

He obviously didn't "have us" against LeBron but dude actually saved that franchise if we really look at it. If he had gone to LA Lowry doesn't re-sign and Toronto is in the lottery instead of having their best year in franchise history.

He is about to get a pay raise with the same contract. No longer getting double taxed, and texas has no state income tax. He will get way more money in his pocket. That said I understand where he is coming from. They looked him in the eye and said we arent tradinng you and then traded him. If they were upfront and honest he would probavly take it differently. This is gonna kill player trust in the org though, every player knows the FO is full if liars who are untrustworthy, if they would snake Demar they will snake anyone. Lol its a perfect reason why kahwi would not sign an extension

If a team says they won’t trade you and it’s not in writing in the contract, it’s hot air. It’s not a snake move. It’s business. They’re your employers not your parents

 

[ALonelyDad]

I dont think DeRozan would care this much if they didn't lie to him during SL, that is just a stupid thing to do by Raptors.

 

[Rigby.]

Yeah this is the worst example of non-loyalty. They did lie to him but every player who gets traded to that isn’t washed is lied to. They traded him to a better franchise and a developmental staff that could actually fix his hindrances. If he planned on actually going somewhere for the rest of his career, this was his best move

 

[killacal]

Kawhi wasn’t loyal to his teammates by telling them he was returning several times and always cancelling without any apparent reason. Then refusing to support them in their playoff run by traveling or cheering from the bench.

This ain't high school basketball in Indiana foh

 

[lightskin jermaine]

He's coming to one of the most loyal franchises in sports. Welcome to SA, Demar. We take care of our players, even the scrubs like patty mills, gasol

 

[Black Republican]

Fake news...still will get paid ALL of his money with a top 3 franchise. This nikka needs to take his meds.

The NBA is never loyal unless you winning titles. Get money bytch! Never take a paycut. Get what you can get

 

[hayesc0]

This is why I love when players take control and I love how lebron operates.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Something lost with this thread is Demar being told over the past 11 days in Vegas that he will not be traded. It ain't the contract or self importance that comes with being a $100 mil player, he was literally told by the Raptors he wouldn't be leaving. Toronto's basically saying we'll take our chances on a rebuild over having you long term so I'm sure he's bothered, on top of that mans already has depression.

He doesn't see it now but it could've been worse for him. He ended up with a franchise that has 5 championships and Toronto's rebuild will begin July 2019.

Nearly every trade stems from the point of “well we were gonna keep you, but shyt happened.” I could say it, but shyt happened that changed that line of thinking. Now if I’m the Raptors I don’t say shyt, but if I don't say shyt, then it’s as if I’m saying to DeRozan to be ready for a trade.

Be loyal to the paycheck other than that fukkem.
I still fail to see how athletes don't get this by now. I swear they got the mindsets of streetwalking hoes

no trade clause = loyalty
