It's the right basketball move, but this is another in MLSE stable, and that means revenue is the goal. DeRozan is popular and a big part of the growth in the Raptors popularity over the last couple of years. I just don't think they let him make that move.
Yeah, unfortunately this team is basically another Blue Jays situation, they'll likely play it safe and just go for the really good team. I couldn't see MLSE paying out luxury taxes to compete with the big franchises even though they could easily afford it.

Just like Rogers and the Blue Jays with their "what do you expect? To spend with the big teams and attempt to win a championship? Keep dreaming stupid fans, this is a business, we'll spend enough to keep your stupid buts in the seats and eyes on the TV and no more".
