Yes, none of us deserved his career 41 percent field goal percentage playoff performances.

Thanks Demar, you will always be the man. Maybe not everyone on this board, where people take the Raptors success way too seriously, as they have nothing to do with the inner workings of the team, and are just spectators -but 99 percent of Raps fans admire you and are thankful for your efforts, the pride you brought to the team and the city, and the perception change you, Masai and Kyle together brought to the franchise.

Jesus that new IG post made me so depressed.

Wth man, Masai should've just traded Lowry or added another young kid. He probably would've helped Kawhi re sign too.

DeMar can decline his player option and come back since that's when we free up cap space. Pop will end up retiring around there. Two years under pop would help DeMars game a lot he can come and join Kawhi.

I don’t think Pop would agree to do something like this because it doesn’t help the Spurs organization at all but I like the idea of Demar coming back in a couple years if Kawhi is still here.

Yea that's true but I can see DeMar become an actual good defender under pop. He should be more motivated than ever.

Damn man, tough to hear about how much he went through personally during the year. DeMar is a strong person.

A raptors legend for sure.

In these hard times of sadness and emptiness I think it's only fitting to introduce DeRozy, award given only to the most dedicated Deebo fans on this board. You guys all deserve it and I am happily giving it to you.

First superstar to show loyalty to the Raptors. He was criminally underappreciated around here. Love Demar.

Not if Masai is here. If DD can swallow his pride, then probably. But come on, who would do that. Would you take your gf back if she back stabbed you?

I appreciate DD taking this franchise to the next level from where it was 9 years ago.
I appreciate his work ethic, professionalism and commitment to refining his craft. He was just a dunker and someone who could draw free throws when he entered the league.
I appreciate his love and representing of the franchise, city and country to NBA players and fans.
I appreciate him taking on the mantle of carrying the team when others left at the first chance.
I appreciate the difficult year it has been personally for him.
I appreciate him being the key piece in a trade that brought Kawhi to the franchise and hopefully take the Raptors to that next level.

All the best in San Antonio. Your legacy here will last a long time.

we can only hope to one day have someone of his caliber or better show us the love and loyalty that he did.
