Yeah I think Star and Superstar are defined by public perception, not actual on court production. Like I think Reggie Miller's popularity was almost at the level of Tim Duncan (comparing Reggie Miller's late 90's to Duncan's mid-00's) - even though Tim Duncan is probably a top 10 all time player and Miller definitively is not.

Seems like an odd offhand tweet from a guy who knows what this would do to the Raptorverse

i find it extremely hard to believe that Masai would have told Demar flat out that he wouldn't be traded.
Anyway, Demar has been extremely loyal to Toronto and that is well appreciated and it's pretty sad to imagine trading him from that standpoint.
But, quite frankly, Toronto has been equally good to Demar. Nowhere else does Demar Derozan get to take that many shots and play that poor defense while still being lauded as "the guy".

I check in every once in a while.
Waiting to see what happens. I hear the rumours and I hope we don’t give up too much for a rental. Hopefully, we don’t get desperate and give away our future picks/young players and all-star for someone who’s determined to be in LA next year.....
This just doesn’t feel right to me. It could be a grave mistake. Masai would get some sort of commitment right???
