Yeah, the Sixers is a much better situation than Toronto. He should go to that packed all star team full of future legends.
Joe Johnson did something similar years ago when he was with the Suns He left and signed with the lowly Hawks to be the man. I am not saying DeRozan will bail, just it has happened before a good playoff team to a bad team.
I could see it happening. Though it's not like he isn't a focal point here in Toronto. It's always been a "if you want to dominate, feel free" attitude with DeMar on offense. If he is dead set on being the man he can do better than Philadelphia.
