And yes, I believe the starting point from his agent is going to be max.
There is also the fact he can ask but it doesn't mean he will get. But he will be UFA and if he perceives the Raptors aren't giving into his demands he can walk. The history of the franchise with walking FAs gives him leverage with a fan base that he has always said the exact things they wanted to hear (I give him the benefit of more than lip service on his part).
Next year just about every team in the league will have max cap space. There are going to be a lot of GMs making poor decisions because they feel they have to spend. And in the new cap world, anything more than $17m is too much.
DeRozan is a relic of Colangelos days of building around multiple fundamentally flawed players with each one suppose to cancel the others weaknesses.
