Its a business I guess.

There is no loyalty in the NBA, he should know this by now. It's just business..

I really wished it was Kyle that went to the Spurs since he did want to go there before signing a contract. I have mixed emotions about this.

Sort of like those times he said he was going to become a 3 point shooter or play some defense.

First off, is this real?

He has always been an nope, warned -- how do you not know better? and shows his true color. He wants unconditional trust for him to perform despite failing year after year. He thinks paying him 30 mil a year and trading him away is selling him out.

He always writes some cryptic depressive messages like it's supposed to have a deeper meaning but in reality it means absolutely nothing, don't worry about it.

Demar, you have held this franchise back for too long. You're a nice dude, but good riddance.

Also, if any of us get fired, do you think your boss cares that your wife is fighting with you at home? That your daughter has leukaemia? That your dad died? The business world keeps moving, it doesn't account for your personal losses and emotions, life is suffering, and business is business. You have to play in that field and not get bent out of shape because a team decided to move on from your services. I own an SEO company, and I've had clients come and clients leave, I can't get upset when clients leave, it's just part of the business, unless they slighted me in the process (and I don't think DeMar has a strong case there outside of his own ego because this team has given him the world).

It's an overall point that he regularly writes these kinds of dark tone mysterious messages for people to figure out, and it's time wasted because they mean absolutely nothing and he thinks he has some grand message he's trying to get across.

Sources close to DeRozan told ESPN that DeRozan met with Toronto brass in Las Vegas during summer league and was told he would not be traded.

Makes sense why he was mad.

Paid the man 30M/Yr, I don't think we're doing him dirty at all.

He’s a professional athlete. He’s not an everyday joe. It obviously has some kind of substance.

Not at all. It is what ever you attribute to it, 'soon you'll see' or some nonsense, what does that mean? You think he's going to shoot up a place? Is he going to get traded? Who cares, it's really not that important. We know logic by the facts we see outside of what someone says, player x traded for player y, anything beyond that is noise.

See and understand have a different meaning in that sentence. Soon you’ll see is something that will happen in the forgone future. Soon you’ll understand is past tense. Which means he’s aware of something directed towards the organization which he chooses not to mention.
