(2:31) Lowry describes the first time he spoke with Leonard and how him joining Toronto has impacted his game. Nichols asks what Lowry’s relationship is with Raptors president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri, which gets a brief response.

People fail to realize that Demar and Kyle were like brothers , yes kawhi is a huge upgrade but cmon they played together for 6 years....
Big Evil inc no one died...
Who cares what raptors fan wouldn't want the raptors to be an actual contender this year. Who knows with the new upgrade raps could win the championship
They both rich. They can both be friends still. This is a business and DeRozan was not cutting it after all that time.
Exactly, kyle didnt say that kawhi is worse or better, just the point was that a team is supposed to be like a family and derozan is family to kyle, so when derozan gets traded like a piece of meat to another team its normal to feel betrayed by your "Family".
The management shouldve talked to them
2 months in to the season and I'm still not used to not seeing DeMar DeRozen on the Raptors.
DragonSlayer you mean kawahi
Ya weird never thought kawahi and Demar derozen would go anywhere else
Well.... raps r a finals threat spurs are a lottery threat... oh and Ill put money on klaw staying for atleast 1 year.
Ikr
Darius Clark yh I clocked the 4 people who like my comment must have miss read as well
Damm was chill till the end.... Anyone else sense some beef?
Definitely some tension. I feel that he believes saying he’s on good terms with Masai (even though he probably isn’t)would be a betrayal to DeRozan.
Not everyone needs to be buddy-buddy. Masai is president of this team, that's his role. Kyle Lowry is their star PG, that's his role. Doesn't mean they need to be friends.
how would it be even possible not sense it, it was so obvious.
His whole demeanor switched
LMAO
Take my like
Who's here after Clippers and Kahwi blew a 3-1 lead
ohh yuhh 😭😭
Lmfaooo
Pandemic P jus hit dif😂
yez sir
united we stand divided we fall
But Kawhi's a great upgrade pack, a better shooter (especially from deep) and a better defender for sure
He's just better you can leave it at that no need for a qualifier. DeRozan's family knows better than to think he's even close to par with kawhi
Kawhi is also better under pressure
Plus they got d green, that shits a steal of a trade. Kawhi’s always been my favorite player since about 2012. I knew this man was gonna come back ballin and the still got the “throw him in he’s hurt”.
X Dot also a better laugh too
Until he leaves next season
They look like a better team.
It's more passing and plays not 2 guys doing iso lol so yes your righy
Does no one know how to spell Kawhi
Are you surprised tho? Kawhi is one of the top 5 players in the league, and probably the best defensive player in the league.
@@111Mfreeman not the best defensive but he has the best Defense & offense combination
They are
GMs should never promise players anything. DeRozan and Lowry deserve to feel the way they do.
@Michael Fraser why so triggered over another mans money? lol calm down there bud.
That's part of the job ... lying when u have to. We all liked Demar but if the GM doesn't get the job done he gets fired and Demar still makes his 30 million. It's tough to swallow but sometimes u got to do what's best for the business.
Michael Fraser they still had to work to get there. If it’s so easy then why don’t you do it lol oh wait you can’t.
Bro i totally understand were your coming from and i honestly liked Lowry and derozen but its all business they get paid a tonne of money to play ball and live there dreams, i guarantee you if both there positions were at stake and they were dropped from the NBA they'd put there hand up to play for anyteam, bro they'll realise when it comes to that time look at D-rose he dont care bout money or team he play for as long as he gets to ball.
Demar was NOT “promised” anything 😂.
I love that Rachel put some effort into giving Kyle a chance to clear up the Masai comment so it wouldn’t be so open to interpretation even tho he decided not to. It’s really one of the qualities that her make stand out and imo makes her that much better than most NBA reporters
I also love that her show is the only one that will talk about teams other than the Lakers, Warriors, 76ers, Celtics, and Rockets.
He does need to lie or pretend. Masai is his boss done and done. You friends with your boss?
Spoonzaza we’re not talking about the same thing..
she did give him a chance. I like that she is not obsessed with trying to make you say something controversial like many other journalists do
i cant believe that click bait tittle... out of all the things he said thats your headline
😂 😂 😂 Facts
haha ikr can't simply put kyle talks about gelling with new team, and basketball without demar
Seriously... i was looking for this comment
Lol I almost made a similar comment about the title.
"Demar said he felt betrayed, did u feel betrayed too" -response baiting
ESPN wanted the exclusive Kyle Lowry betrayed interview
Seriously, this why espn is going downhill and has been for years.
Kyle Lowry response
You can't trade him he's my best friend. Check out bleached report
Game of Zones 😂🤣😂
game of zones lol
Damn I sensed and saw the anger in him when he got questioned about ujiri
I luv how he still has derozen's back
Still feel betrayed Kyle?
I would
Scribe Scrub probs
rings may heal him
He good now since he got a ring but him and demar were like brothers
Scribe Scrub oh cmon, 6 years together. A great friendship. So many fun times, they threw lobs, passes, swings, while both knocked down shots. And even though they won a chip with Kawhi, Demar is his best friend.
kawhi is the best thing that ever happened to him. FACTS
say whut doesnt seem like it
@@malaki229 lol Lowry is way more efficient and just a more confident player under Kawhi than he ever was under Demar. With Demar, Lowry was under way more pressure to perform at an elite level because Demar wasn't a GREAT player. Playing alongside a truly elite player like Kawhi has taken the pressure off Lowry. He can now focus on just being a great #2 guy instead of being a co-#1 guy where the Raptors go as you go.
I think his life has more depth and substance than kawhi. Just saying
lowry is having one of the best years of his career and thats because of kawhi.. i think the raptors has the best record in the nba and a lot of that has to do with kawhi. demar really cant carry the raptors as well as how kawhi can carry a team and we shouldnt forget that kawhi is a new addition to this team but he immediately blended in and has a lot of chemistry.
@@malaki229 doesn't seem like it they have the best record to the NBA
2:40 Anyone see that airball lol
Lil Cub Son Chaeyoung well now since u said it yeah i saw it.:)
Lonzo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well...😂😂
Well, that's why they coach and don't play lol
look at the spurs and look at the raptors right now, raptors won the trade
Jonas lmao wait a season
Not really. We can't say that until the playoffs. Spurs made it last year fully health sans Kawhi. Now they have several key injuries plus loss manu and a new player im Derozan in a tougher conference.
Meanwhile the raptors looked dominant last season too. They choked in the playoffs. We will see what happens in the playoffs this year.
Jonas they lost Dejounte Murray like that’s a pivotal piece to the Spurs
We lost Manu, Green, Murray, No Gasol, Walkers hurt, Parker left, no Anderson (underrated defender), in all we lost all our key defensive pieces, not to mention lack of chemistry and its showing BIG time
They are in the West as well it’s a bloodbath right now.
I wonder if Lowry feels any different now about that last question.
Feel so bad for Lowry. Management handled DeRozan terribly. Hope Lowry can forgive Masai and hope Masai can learn to communicate with people and not treat them like objects.
that betrayal might just not get you blown out
Jonas they had to get rid of him he get spooked every year in the playoffs
LMAOOO
yeah some dude from compton is scared of a little playoff basketball look at how some of these bums think
@@YNorth You can't deny the facts. Who gives a fuck where he's from. His court production says it all.
Rizzle Dizzle That’s pretty stupid. That’s like saying Gary Payton, Jon Starks, Pat Ewing, Larry Johnson, Charles Barkley, Stockton, Karl Malone were scared of Jordan. Sometimes, you just run into a great player who’s better than you. Doesn’t take away From your greatness. Dwight got his prime years in Orlando squashed by Kobe and Lebron. The Celtics would’ve had more than 1 chip with Garnett, Pierce, and Allen if not for Kobe and Bron. Shit happens
4:16 u can see the about of tension between Lowry and Misai , that was cold , Lowery still seems to be mad about the derozan trade ( afterall he should be )
Who’s here after raptors 2019 nba champions
Edit: Holy never got this many likes lol
Joey-_- Murray me
I just feel bad for demar
me
bruh
Yeah. They're like brothers. I'm happy they won a Nba Championship but this one still hits hard.
Kyle will find a way to play with Demar on the same team again
- 2 years later - rumours been bouncing around heard that lakers are interested in DeMar & Kyle.. Really hope they pull it off..
Came back here after Raps are Finals Bound. 🎉 Man how things have turned out...
Kyle Lowry is a real one. I'm a Rockets fan and I remember when we traded for him, he was just a role player and I was excited about just the way he hustled 😂 never would have thought he'd end up a multiple time all star, interviews on espn.. crazy
I love demar derozan but honestly if he was still on the raptors they wouldn’t be in the finals rn, I love demar but kawhi is the goat
Lool no shit sherlock
im here from the future... they won it all. lol
My bestfriend didn't get in to the team because he is a PF and we have a lot of tall kids in our class. He tried to be a tall PG and I tried teaching him how to pass and handle the ball (I'm a 6'1" PG) but he still didn't get in. I felt so sad that day. And now I just came back to this video because I can relate to Kyle.
Rachel looks fine. Just saying...
That red hair😁
L
She wear that same wig everyday
Wig? Not real?
She pisses me off after that d rose bullshit
More honesty in this than I woulda thought, but then again I respect the hell out of Lowry man. A) We'll never know what Lowry/DeRozan coulda been because nobody had their kind of chemistry. B) Since when did players have to like Managers? They hardly interact on a personal level. C) Lowry probably has the biggest balls in the league and I'm proud to say he's the backbone of the Raps
Must be a strange feeling for Kyle. His best friend left which is sad but his replacement got them the title. Bittersweet.
Look at Kyle and Norman man, reminded me if game of zones "Shush Norman"😂
*_He loves him, I can see that on his eyes_*
2:41 that airball tho
I have been a long time raptors fan for a while since I was born and live in Toronto but Kyle Lowry should understand the general manager put the Raptors in a great position to win a championship right now. Lowry is not getting younger and Masai was tired of DeMar getting beat in the playoffs. I understand it’s his friend but he should be more happy that he has a opportunity to win a chip right now!!
Why do y'all keep saying Demar? There were plenty of times in which Lowry sucked in playoff games. Y'all act like Demar was the main problem
@@Khan-_-Art1st Well he was, Lowry played great these last few playoffs
@@Khan-_-Art1st last year Lowry was the playoff mvp. The last time both players played pretty bad was during their ECF run ironically. But demar was definitely the worse performer between the 2
Jaylen *Straightoutda80s* Brown because we know our players better than your bandwagon headass
Ok say y'all win a title then Kawhi leaves will u be ok wit that 1 title like the CAVS? Ok say y'all don't win a title Kawhi leaves! And soon after Kyle will that still be a great move for the raptor??? LMAO it was a bad move fr! Why trade away your stars chemistry for a 1 year door??? It was dumb! And the way Kyle sounded He's OUT! Once he see Kawhi leaves.. LMAO can we say rebuild.. 👉👈
I love the current Toronto. They play pretty well this season
Now Lowry is so much happier to have Kawhi. Kawhi brings thing that Raptors never had before. Champion!
Sale CNC congratulations
Lotta pain I felt and could sense. The relationships were crumbling. Wonder how they managed to play so well and dominate in the Finals?
Few monts later , he was like who the fck is that guy
6 months later he became a champion.
Wow, They just won the eastern conference final They May have been friends but I’m not sure they could do it without kawaii
Josh Lee glad they're going to the finals now
Masai Ujiri's job is to make the team better, he doesn't get paid to make sure kyle's feelings are good.
I'm here after they made it in the Finals.
1:36 Is where Rachel asks, Did you feel the "betrayed" question. -Honestly the way Masai Ujiri handled it how could he not? 4:15 Kyle (& the rest of the Raptors) now know, you can't trust this dude, & when it's time for your Max Deal.. GET IT!
It’s not just kawai making this team better, siakim and ibaka have stepped up hugely
“Kawai” 😭🤣
Poeltl was also in that trade, Rachel!
Onkel Kroko no one cares lol
scored 20 points last night tho...... @@vx.2528
Onkel Kroko scored more than Derozan and Aldridge
@@vx.2528 don't sleep on that boy trust me
Still schleep
DeMar was there for a long time
Not a good one
Noahs Noah Game of Zones?😂
Carson Benvo yes lmao
Tcg 14 well I mean he did Trade for a horse
Must be happy being in the NBA FINALS without Demar
Crazy to watch this interview after the championship. Lowry feels a different way about Masai now.
He probably doesn't feel betrayed now because they got a ring xD
Hmm that's not what Kawhi said he texted him when he got traded
this was a really strong interview by reporter and player! Rachel has earned respect through super hard work and dedication on ESPN. I used to be skeptical but she has proven to be a valuable reporter who can draw out the personalities and psychologies of the players.
the NBA can be super tough as a business and this seemed like a real interview, instead of just some fluff bs responses.
I understand how Lowry feels, but he knows that the trade made them instant contenders. I got them coming out of the East. That team can beat Boston in a 7 game series
I feel so bad. Almost cried
We shall remember that we would not be here without demar Derozan Agree
Wish he was still here
How do you feel now Kyle?? #easternconferencechamps
He a champion now
Yeahhh you ain’t fell betrayed now bruh
lmfaooo 1 more game
*Great Raptors All Access. Rachel should interview Kawhi*
He became mature. He grew up. Sad. But beneficial for him..
Him losing his best friend for a guy that won them a chip is a prime example of sacrifice
The ending was a lil spicy lol
AROUSING
Damn that ending was something 😂
derozan was sacrificed for the 6's championship
6 years became rookies together became starters together and being all stars together
He act like Derozan moved to the north pole lmao
Yo I agree with the fact that raptors are having their best year, and that Kawhi is a huge factor as to why they got in the position they’re in, but y’all are so quick to forget demar and how much effort and time he invested in our team and city. Sad to see how some ppl forgot he even existed
Definitely. You can think it was a good trade AND also understand why Derozan felt betrayed by it/how it went down from his perspective. Doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.
Kyle... Masai made you who you are. He committed to you guys and you wasted the opportunity, how many runs did you want? This is PRIME Kawhi we are talking about here. Who is going to pass him up? I get why Kyle might be salty because Masai assured Debo that he wasn't going to be traded but at the end of the day, the team is way better now, chemistry is great and we are winning! You'll forgive Masai when you get that chip.
I agree with you to an extent. Masai took over for Bryan Colangelo and the 1st thing he tried to do was trade Lowry to the Knicks for Iman Shumpert and a retiring Artest. The Knicks accepted then declined last second because Dolan is an idiot. Then they traded Gay and went on a winning streak after picking up Vasquez and Patterson. Dwayne Casey and Demar Derozan are the people that made Lowry who he is not to mention most importantly his family.
It was about the way he did it tho... promising him that he would stay just to find out he got traded
3areFOB The NBA is a business first and foremost. Apparently the conversation between the two was very informal. A bit like a chat around the water cooler. Masai even said that when he spoke to Demar about not being traded, another team was destined to take kawhi and raps seemed out of the picture... At that point in time Masai had no intention to trade... But things change and just imagine the backlash if it came out that we turned down kawhi and then went out in the second round again...
@@bedford4383 Kawhi is great pickup and upgrade but face it this team ain't beating any west top 3 teams so bad trade for the future
It’s not the fact that derozan got traded it’s just the fact that they didn’t have a little private chat before making the move. Derozan literally got blind sided by Masai. It was within his right but it was unethical in my opinion.
Lowry on a mission this year
Hey how is everyone doing? Hope Kyle and Masai are doing better now. Currently writing from the future, Kawahi and Danny are gone, Demar is still with the spurs and raptors are about to face off against the Celtics in Round 2 of the playoffs after their first sweep against the nets.
I demand to speak to lord ujiri where is lord ujiri???
No he's my friend
2:39 dude in the backround...gotta call him out on that air ball.....
Gotta give respect to Danny and Kawai for teaching the Raptors how to become Champions...Huge thanks guys 😁😁😁
I’d been watching KL since he was playing for Yao and T-Mac. Always liked him. Kinda feel specially proud of him.
Why is Jalen Ramsey doing an interview in Toronto Canada when the Jags have a game tomorrow night? 🤔
I miss them together but sometimes you need to separate to grow. And Kwahi honestly overall is a way better player Clearly and that piece they been missing.
Little did he know kawhi was not gonna be his brother but his baby sitter! 😂😂 championships all day baby! 🤙🔥👌
YG_BeVs Kyle played well in game 6. Did not feel like he was carried. Could they win without kawhi? Probably not. But Lowry did very well
Josh Yes kyle was very committed to get the win in that last game! But im just saying they couldnt have got to where they where without kawhi thats all im saying? But it was all team work from the playoffs onwards!
rachel legs though..
They look like tree trunks
Thunder thighs
Stop thirstin she well never let you.
@@RKO859 I was thinking the exact same thing 😂😂😂 Her legs aren't the one. From the waist up, she's good.
She old as hell y’all gotta stop thirstin over Rachel she ain’t it
Kyle Lowry went from feeling betrayed from Demar Derozan trade to a 1 more year chants for Kawhi to a whatever 😒
It was *5 more years🤣
Thank god Masai doesn't care about hurting people feelings
I was asleep in bed at 0230 but was reading the phone sitting on bathtub ledge.
dang wish the interview was longer
Toronto will forever hold Demar DeRozan close to their hearts, but its something that had to get done.
Masai trades Kyle to a tanking team
Toronto should have built around DeMar instead of trading him, the 2019 finals doesn't count, the Warriors should have won, but they didn't have Klay or KD, with Klay being purposley injured by Danny Green. If they kept DeMar, they would be playoff contenders right now. Toronto needs to trade to get DeMar back, or bring DeMar and Lowry to the Lakers to win a championship.
Yeah playoff contenders but not finals contenders
Hes got to say that for DeRozan but we all know hes loving having kwahi
I like that she is not obsessed with trying to make you say something controversial like many other journalists do. It is so tiring.
Did they end up playing against DeMar DeRozan later?😕
Wow, that answer about Masai! He might as well have said "He's dead to me", LOL.
Imagine the Raptors win vs Golden state in the finals...
......
The drop off from Derozan to Green is small, that was the key to the trade working so well for the Raptors.
Everytime I see the raptors win during the season it's irevelant to me . All I can think about is when that announcer named the city Lebronto . 😂😂😂
I don't care if he felt "betrayed." Losing Demar and gaining Kawhi is like losing your 7/10 girlfriend, but then gaining a 10/10 super model. How are you still hurt by that?
cause it aint about the looks brotha, deeper than that
Don’t worry he has nothing to worry about now😂
Looking back, Lowry’s playoff performances in the ec finals got derozan traded
kawhi: You feel what? we are 1 game ahead to the finals. all thanks to me.
I get it that he was hurt for DeMar because they were like brothers, fact is they werent doing what they needed to do to stay together and something needed to be done to change that vicious cycle of constantly losing in the playoffs.. It doesnt matter what seed the Raptors finished, every playoff series with those two players together was a struggle to get out of.. I dont know what Lowry and DeMar expected to happen when they kept losing...I myself as a fan of this team needed and wanted something huge to change and I'm glad Masai did what he did. Shit just wasnt working before.
Cool dude
Wonder if he would say this day before he got a chip
A RING over your bestfriend is worth
For sure!!!
wow and now Lowry is a champion🤗
Get over it lol you're the best team in league.. N your bros replacement is 5x better
Get over it the bitch asked him a question u get over it
DeRozan ass compared to kawhii . Lowry should be thanking his GM for making this shit happen. Y'all might not actually choke in the playoffs first round this time.
You don't have friends so you wouldn't understand. And no way in hell is Kawhi 5x better than Demar. Chill.
@@Khan-_-Art1st he really is 5 times better than him
@@danielharper5885 exactly she asked a question
