- 8 years ago
DeMar DeRozan doesn't plan on scheduling meetings with rival teams at the start of free agency as he focuses on re-signing with the Toronto Raptors.
"My mindset has always been Toronto," DeRozan told reporters the day after the Raptors were eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"I've always preached it.
I was passionate about it when we were losing, when we were terrible.
I said I was going to stick through this whole thing, and I want to be that guy who brings this organization to where it is now.
I definitely don't want to switch that up after we win."
The Raptors can offer DeRozan a five-year maximum contract worth $153 million with the salary cap at a projected $94 million.
Other teams would be able to offer him a max deal of $114 million over four years.
