We don’t need to belabour this point now, but it remains news when DeMar DeRozan decides to talk about the Raptors. And if he sits down late on Tuesday for a 1-on-1 interview with Chris Haynes on ESPN’s SportsCenter, well then, we’ve got to report on it.
Contained within the first four minutes of the video below is but a presumable taste of what is to come in the full interview (before abruptly cutting to a segment about Kevin Love).
As expected, DeRozan reiterates that he felt disrespected by how the Kawhi Leonard trade with the Spurs went down, saying that if he had just been told, or given some sign in advance, he could have prepared himself better.
