We don't have a single player as talented as Rasheed Wallace. The other 4 Pistons would easily start on our team. At least 1/2 players on that team will make the HOF.

I make the trade 100x out of 100, give massive kudos to Masai, but I think it's okay to feel a bit bittersweet too.
Masai says that at the time of the conversation with DeMar in Summer League (where DeRozan believes he was mislead) the Raptors were 4th in line to land Kawhi, told DD and his agent nothing was imminent.

From that it seems that he could have at least mentioned to DeMar or his agent that DeMar was involved. Everyone makes mistakes. He apologized, was a gracious, honest pro about it, but that doesn't mean DeMar is to blame or that there wasn't a justifiable reason for DeMar to be upset in the first place.
But going forward, there is something wrong with siding with DeRozan over the Raptors.

DeMar DeRozan has unpinned his infamous ‘Don’t Worry I got Us’ tweet, and seems unhappy with the Raptors press conference today. pic.twitter.com/dhny4bPEML

People should not cry over spilled milk because nothing is spilled.
Derozan for him to react this way after 48 hours is beyond me. I would understand his anger right at the very moment he got that call that he is being shipped out. BUT he already slept on it towing along a fucking BOATLOAD OF CASH and soon to be playing under a HOFer coach and a Top Notch organization. FFs get over with it man and move on.
Masai was doing his job like any other CEOs or head of an organization private or government. Derozan was WELL COMPENSATED. It was a very mutual kind of relationship with both sides benefiting from each other. Boss decided to reorganize to achieve a much higher goal after a few years of superficial gratification.
Just stfu already DD.

"Masai starts by apologizing for a ‘gap in communication’ with DeMar and promises to celebrate him. ‘I’m a loyal person ...but I have a mandate to win’
I like DeMar but LOVE hearing this from Masai. And he certainly clarified the "promise" not to trade DeMar
Also from SN:
Danny Green on trade to Raptors: ‘We have a chance to do something special’

He didnt react this way when Lebron was twirling the ball or doing all the unnecassary antics instead he raised the white flag and conceded.
He had the chance:
Defend his position
Shoot the three consistently
Pass the ball to his teammates (though he tried but already too late)
Its not like this is all Masai’s fault
Give me a fucking break.

Well this turned around pretty quick. Glad to see most people are quickly getting over Demar leaving.
Ujiri is right, he has a mandate to win. I would love for Demar and Raptors to win together, but its impossible. Im also choosing the Raptors over Demar any day of the week. Good luck to him, but I hope we destroy him when we play the Spurs (wont be hard since we will shut him down and score on will against him.).

If #proveem has been his personal mantra (remember all the years of poor ratings he received from Sports Illustrated) then he should prove Masai and the Raptors organization wrong including all his previous critics. He would be getting more validation if he exceeds his current performance especially playing against a very well stacked Western Conference.
He can say hello again to his usual nemesis... Butler, Klay, Lance Stephenson and of course Lebron.
I wish him luck.
