Las Vegas — Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan had both earned a low-key summer. Leading Toronto to its most successful season in franchise history, and giving the city its first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals — where they took the NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers to six games — it would be fair if the duo expected things to slow down a little in the offseason.
DeRozan, a highly-sought after free agent, could have found himself having a stressful July. Instead, he invited members from the Raptors front office into his home shortly after the free agency negotiation period began and wasted no time tying up loose ends on a new five-year deal with Toronto.
