Why Spurs fans will fall in love with DeMar DeRozan

Now that we have hopefully closed one of the darker chapters in Spurs history (and honestly, if that’s the worst we’ve got, relatively speaking it isn’t that bad), it’s time to move on to a new chapter, and what better way to do that to start getting to know the Spurs’ newest acquisition, DeMar DeRozan and find out why we will love him just as much here as he was up north.

We already know DeRozan was understandably unhappy when he was traded after reportedly being told otherwise (enough so that Raptors president Masai Ujiri issued and apology to him), but in some aspects his sacrifice in exchange for Kawhi Leonard wasn’t overly celebrated in Toronto, either.
