It seems like all of the good players 2nd tier guys generate some trade rumours as they are sought after by other fans.
Maybe the reason why we don't see much is he doesn't have much value around the league....
Food for thought

In order for DeMar to continue to get better he is going to have to play with better players that can show him how to get better. Its a mental & mentality type of thing, not any type of work ethic issues. He needs help in how he sees the floor aka court vision. And i think that with the pieces we have we are closer to the bottom than the top meaning we dont have the spare assets to really make a playoff run happen within the next 24 months. So for the sake of DeMar and the franchise it might be better to part ways with him now while he is still entering his prime to a team with players better than him who have some solid assets to move.

Get rid of the guy.
He is gifted everything he produces on the court. If it wasnt for system he would be pretty much a non factor.
And as it is, his best ever season came in as basically a jet nuetral in terms of offense to defense.
Dar is at best a third banana, and that is only if ue can dedicate himsepf to learning to defend, dribble and shoot from behind the line on catch and shoots.

Is DD still an Option going forward?
I think so
- He'll be 26 in August. Lots of life in him.
- Needs to work on his 3 point shot - but has made great strides since the early days when he was useless at it. Needs to hit the mid to high 300 range in this category.
- His Defense still needs upgrading, but seems to be improving - as per his Simple Rating (82 games)
- More appropriate as a 2nd option
- 2014-15 excepted (60 games), Demar is generally a workhorse.
- As long as he`s not a MAX guy (or close), 9.5 million right now is very reasonable

Because DD generates a low volume of trade rumours, his demand must be low. Therefor it is reasonable to suggest that he has lower value than many think.

Biggest reason you hear nothing about ANY Raptor player is because Masai cleaned house on the front office and they all now operate in secrecy. Nothing gets out they don't want to get out or they can't control (such as discussing with Knicks).
With regards to what OSC was referring I think, and he can correct me if I am wrong here, he meant you don't hear or read other teams fans pining for DeRozan. Now is this an issue due to 29 other franchises and their fans being south of the border? Likely. But if I was a fan of another team I don't look at DeRozan as a desirable acquisition for the simple fact he is an inefficient volume scorer and doesn't contribute to winning significantly. Nobody here was dying for Corey Magette to join the Raptors 6 years ago were they?

Most of what my google searching has turned up are articles from the media saying that they should trade DD
But there are very few with fans actually wanting DD because there are better fish to go after
