Though it seems like forever ago, it’s been just a few days since the shocking trade that sent DeMar DeRozan to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Kawhi Leonard.

The beloved Raptor was admittedly torn up over the deal, yet he took the time to share a tear-jerking Instagram post thanking the fans and praising the city he called home for the first nine years of his NBA career. On Monday, DeRozan shared an Instagram post that suggests he’s starting to embrace the move to Texas.

In case you were wondering, yes, that’s former Raptor Rudy Gay sharing the screen and joining in on the shoutout with his old/new teammate. Gay, who re-signed with the Spurs this off season, played 52 games over two seasons with the Raptors. He and DeRozan are notoriously good friends, which should help the latter with his transition to San Antonio.

This is the first time in DeRozan’s career that he’s playing in the Drew League, preparing for a season with a team that’s not the Raptors. Man, times are a’changing.
