DeMar DeRozan's legacy in Canada is, among other things, complex. Depending on how the rest of his career goes, DeRozan's time with the Toronto Raptors may go down as the highlight of his NBA career. I certainly hope that's not how things wind up, but look how Vince Carter's career played out?
Both Carter and DeRozan followed similar paths in Toronto, a key difference being their exits – both trades, but the return for Carter fell far short of altering the NBA's landscape the way acquiring Kawhi Leonard did when he and DeRozan swapped teams in the summer of 2018, along with Danny Green and Jakob Poetl.
