Report: DeRozan upset by trade, feels he was lied to by Raptors
NBA fans awoke to a blockbuster trade Wednesday morning, but before all the madness popped off, one of the main pieces involved took to social media to seemingly share his displeasure with the deal.
DeMar DeRozan posted a series of videos on his official Instagram account, which allude to the fact the now-former Toronto Raptors star did not expect to be changing cities anytime soon.
"Be told one thing and the outcome another. Can't trust em. Ain't no loyalty in this game. Sell you out for a quick little bit of nothing," DeRozan posted.

Toronto agreed in principle to acquire Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for a package that includes DeRozan. However, the former Raptors guard was recently told by the team's brass that he would not be dealt, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Chris Haynes.
DeRozan was the face of the franchise in Toronto, as he's spent his entire nine-year career with the Raptors, making the Eastern Conference All-Star team four times.
