For now, only DeRozan has been informed that he's in the trade, league sources tell ESPN. Toronto president Masai Ujiri informed DeRozan overnight, sources said. https://t.co/fghY7eTCWR

This is an insane move by the Raptors for a guy that will essentially be will them for a year. There’s no way he’s going to sign extension with the Raptors.
Leonard has reportedly made it clear he wants to be a Laker. So he’s going to play out or maybe sit out next season and take his talents to Los Angeles.
