Appearing on the JD Bunkis Podcast on Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Tuesday, DeRozan was asked if he would like to finish his career as a Raptor. “You always want a poetic ending (in) that way,” he said. “Granted, most people don’t get to write their own ending. But what a better ending than being able to end where you start. Not just end, by just putting up the jersey. It has to be in a sense of me still being myself. “I wouldn’t want to come back and be (Hakeem) Olajuwon (who finished his Hall of Fame career as a Raptor for one season with hugely diminished numbers). It has to just make sense. You kind of want to go out like you came in. That’s what people kind of remember you as.”
