DeMar DeRozan unhappy with lack of respect by the Raptors over being traded<\/p><\/div>\n

After the shock of DeMar DeRozan being traded to the San Antonio Spurs worse off, not much was heard from DeRozan but for a few tweets voicing his disappointment in how the Raptors failed to give him a heads up prior to advising him he had been traded.<\/p>\n

That silenced changed this week after DeMar DeRozan<\/a> spoke to ESPN\u2019s Chris Haynes in an interview that was both honest and candid. DeMar said that he is still in shock over the trade and that the last week has been a blur.<\/p>\n

The Raptors sent DeRozan, Poeltl and a 2019 draft pick sent to the Spurs in exchange for Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard<\/a>. While it is not expected that DeRozan will speak negatively about the franchise he called home for nine years, there is little doubt that he was most unhappy with how it played out. For a player that contributed as much as DeRozan did, the Raptors should be ashamed of the way they managed themselves in communicating with DeMar.<\/p>\n

For Raptors sports punters, some are praising them over the trade, while others are displeased to lose the popular and iconic star who contributed not only to the team but the overall Toronto community, one he considered his second home and had no desire to leave. However, with Leonard\u2019s arrival, sports books will be watching closely as they set odds, and for Canadian basketball punters, there is few better to place bets with than BetOnline Sports<\/a>, and with promotions that offer up to $2500 in bonuses, the upcoming NBA season is a prime opportunity to prepare and get early bets registered.<\/p>\n

While speaking to Haynes, DeMar said he felt that he was not treated with the respect he feels was deserved after sacrificing as much as he did for nine years. He added,<\/p>\n

\u201cBy just giving me the say-so of letting me know something\u2019s going on, or it\u2019s a chance [that I\u2019d be traded]. That\u2019s all I wanted. I\u2019m not saying you don\u2019t have to trade me. Just let me know something\u2019s going on because I sacrificed everything. Just let me know, you know what I mean? That\u2019s all I ask.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
