3. DeMar DeRozan, Unrestricted

As much chatter as there was during the regular season of DeMar DeRozan signing with the Los Angeles Lakers this summer, I firmly believe that the team’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals really changed circumstances.

Because of that run, the Raptors truly believe that they’re close. Heck, they took the NBA Champs to six games. They might be.

DeRozan probably re-signs now. And it’s probably for the better of both the Raptors and DeRozan. Though, it would’ve been awfully fun to see him playing for the Lakers.

Prediction: Signs five-year max in Toronto 

Next: No. 2
