So yes, DeRozan admitted to the emotions he endured as he watched the Raptors beat the Golden State Warriors. If he was a bit upset, who could blame DeRozan? It’s natural to react a certain way when you see an ex-lover, that you still love, find new love. Now months removed, DeRozan was asked about the Raptors win again, this time on Media Day. Of course, everyone wanted to know how DeRozan felt about it, while others were upset, feeling his name was disrespected as the Raptors were in celebration mode.

Remember the man the Spurs traded to get DeRozan? Well, like the rest of the world, DeRozan watched as Leonard led the Raptors to their first title in franchise history. DeRozan then suffered through the loss of a close friend in hip-hop legend Nipsey Hussle, who was killed in his hometown of South Los Angeles.įollowing that loss, DeRozan suffered another, though not as painful, when the Spurs were eliminated in the first round. And he needed to because, over the last year, DeRozan’s journey hit a few emotional bumps.Īfter the Toronto Raptors traded him, he felt betrayed by the organization he was loyal to since the day DeRozan arrived in the NBA 2009. On this trip, instead of talking about what’s on his mind, DeRozan wanted to clear it. He previously visited to speak about mental and emotional well-being alongside Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love at the 2019 Aspen Ideas Festival. When asked to elaborate on the trip, DeRozan kept it simple saying he was just out there relaxing.īut it was the second time this offseason DeRozan made the trip to Wyoming. Just a few moments before his shoot, he met with local reporters for the first time since April, when the Spurs fell in Game 7 to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the postseason. It’s not the first time DeRozan was asked about the trip. “Best shit ever,” DeRozan concisely described when asked about the trip while finishing a photoshoot at Media Day. It’s may not be the exotic getaway for some, but DeRozan required time with nature. 6 will be underway.įor DeRozan though, he’s asked to return two months ago and discuss his trip to Wyoming. In 22 days, the regular season will commence, and the chase for title No. It’s October, and officially the start of the Spurs training camp. But perhaps some perspective that he gained in the mountain region of the country will help show how badly DeRozan wants to win in San Antonio this season. What is DeRozan’s future with the Spurs? As of now, to be determined. How long that will last depends on the player and if one believes the gossip around the NBA, all eyes are pointing to the trade deadline - roughly five months - as the first sign to help determine if this relationship will continue or cease. Money aside, for it all to work, DeRozan, 30, needs to be happy in San Antonio, the place he now calls his basketball home. The latest star player the Spurs will try to build around with no assurances, as of yet, the partnership will extend beyond this season. There are some still wondering if Leonard was ever happy in San Antonio, despite the narrative that he was, only to request out.Īnd that brings it all back to DeRozan, the man Leonard was exchanged for via trade. And it’s well known the back and forth surrounding the eventual end to Kawhi Leonard’s days as a Spur. Remember when LaMarcus Aldridge said he was in a functional space earlier in his Spurs days only to reveal he wasn’t happy after all. It appears so, but looks can be deceiving. “He’s in a good space,” a high-level Spurs staffer told The Athletic. On this Monday, DeRozan appeared relieved as if he finally was at peace, and not in an unfamiliar place the way he was last year.

And if it was a facade, DeMar DeRozan is doing one hell of a job keeping up the appearance of being in a better space mentally than he was just 12 months ago. SAN ANTONIO – The mood was different this time around.
