Were you the DEMAR WILL BE HERE FOREVER guy or was it another dude??
Well he wanted a max contract, he can deal with it. Should have taken less money if he's sooooo 'loyal'. He's loyal to his $$$

He could have had this motivation here instead of being so complacent.

You need to get there first to get swept. This team isn't going anywhere. Laughingstock, oh no, I am 15 years old and take the sweep so personally that I can't enjoy a 59 win season... lets trade that for a 40 win season... what joke.
Dumb meets dumber.
Nobody admits to being wrong, but this is as close as it gets, I'll take it.

Sdamn.. sounds like you've moved on.
I agree, he should be upset and he is, he loved us and we loved him.
It was just time to move on man.
A lot of people who just want DeMar gone sadly and can't realize how much we're giving up for a 1 year trade.GordanFreeman wrote:Clementine64 wrote:Damn sorry Demar but you made $30m/yr while being the 1St option most of your career here. I don't think we did you dirty bro
It's more than just about money for Demar. He's a real one. Loyalty runs deep in his veins. I hope he tears **** up with Pop and his new team. I'm still rooting for you Deebo!

Demar didn't take a max contract....he purposely left a few million on the table for us to work with.....
this place has the worst raptor "fans"

so why would kawhi sign here long term and move his family here when looking at demar's situation ? Why you think a lot of these ex raptor saying what they're saying ? "They did my man wrong" you're fooling yourself if you think players don't pay attention to loyalty. That's part of why kobe is the king of LA! A lot of great players played for the lakers but loyalty is a big party of his legacy there.. He was a great player to everybody but the loyalty in their relationship plays a big part in his status there as why he still working for them. Don't get me wrong demar needed to so go! I've said countless times that both him and lowry needs to go. The issue is they should have never resigned him to that max deal, he should have been moved before that and there wouldn't be any talk of loyalty.Anatomize wrote:RaptorsNorth wrote:This is all on the raptors!

Which free agents have signed here prior to this?
I'm pretty sure guys would rather play with Kawhi than they would with DeMar.
The Spurs got Aldridge, Pau Gasol, and Rudy Gay, we got.... Ibaka and CJ Miles?
Not saying these are a direct result of either guy, but I'm willing to bet if Kawhi re-signs here and is back to his prime self we'd get a lot more interested players due to the calibre of player he is. Kawhi is a bonafide top two-way player in the league, DeMar is mostly a glorified scorer.

sorry how much did Korver and JR make?
'he left a few million for us". Yeah the Raptor fans are terrible, it took 3 sweeps in 4 years for this finally to happen.
Enjoy it ****

The last sentence should have been left out. Unless he thinks it's a forgone conclusion that Kawhi won't resign or even report.
