“I thought I was LeBron James’ teammate!”: DeMar DeRozan uncovers the bizarre way he was betrayed for Russell Westbrook, by Lakers

DeMar DeRozan Reveals How He Found Out He Wasn’t Headed For A Team With LeBron James On The Lakers

There’s something about DeMar DeRozan and trade season.

When I was with the Toronto Raptors, the franchise believed they needed more than just the midrange killer being their best player.

And this was after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, before losing to an excellent LeBron James.

Well, believe it or not, it turns out they weren’t exactly wrong.

They dumped DeMar, Jakob Poeltl and a couple of picks to get Kawhi Leonard, who led the franchise to its first NBA championship.

Granted, it was against a Golden State Warriors team that wouldn’t be losing in their wildest nightmares, even without Kevin Durant, but hey! A championship is a championship.

More than that, though, DeRozan, the best player on this team at the time, found out on the internet that he had been traded to San Antonio.

That’s cold.

Why do we bring this up? Because clearly, the man’s bad luck refused to end there, when the trading season arrived.

Let’s dive into that, okay?

LeBron James and the Lakers are probably sleeping in a pool of their own tears after DeMar DeRozan’s recent podcast appearance.

We love some Russell Westbrook. But let’s be honest here.

It just wasn’t for the Lakers.

Heck, it was so bad for the franchise last season, most people wouldn’t touch it with a 50-foot pole. And others who will, they only do it so they can let it go next season.

All this, because the shot of the man is far from being a strength.

But if you think about it, this is something the Lakers did. And we’re not just referring to his decision to be the Brodie.

It was already more than a small grain of salt in his wounds for DeMar DeRozan to have perhaps his best season with the Bulls.

But especially with this out there? Phew.

Someone needs to check out LeBron James right away.

…And Stephen Curry’s DMs.
