Everything Demar Derozan
How does paying DD prevent us from moving forwards?
Shipping him out for a mid-late pick like you have suggested here achieves nothing. Even if you re-sign him and decide you want to go a different direction later, you could get a similar or better return to that. An aging Joe Johnson on an even worse deal as a percentage of the cap got more than that for Atlanta.
I'm simply just seeing a lack of patience as a fan here. And no I don't want to hear about how the Raptors have sucked forever. There's different management now. A complete or even partial teardown is not required to build this team into a contender. Stop looking at DD as the problem and look at him as part of the solution (if only at least as a future trade chip for actual, you know... VALUE).
