Raptors pursuing DeMar DeRozan as free agency opens

The Toronto Raptors are reportedly showing interest in a reunion with DeMar DeRozan after he was waived by the Sacramento Kings. This potential return comes amid a hold-up regarding the Raptors' trade with the Los Angeles Clippers for Kawhi Leonard, which is still pending due to an investigation involving Leonard. While DeRozan has drawn attention from other teams, including the Detroit Pistons, sources indicate the Raptors are a 'confirmed bidder' for his services. However, the team's limited financial flexibility complicates the possibility of re-signing DeRozan, as they are not even positioned to offer veteran minimum contracts. His next move may depend on LeBron James' decision regarding his future team, as various players await clarity on their options in free agency.
