Masai Ujiri confirmed the Toronto Raptors will not negotiate with DeMar DeRozan on an extension during the season.

DeRozan is expected to decline his player option at the end of the season and is eligible for significantly more money if he doesn't sign an extension.

“There will be no extension talks with DeMar [before the end of the 2015-16 season],” Ujiri told Free Association. “He can only extend for a certain amount of money and I just foresee that DeMar sees himself- and we see him- as more than that type of a player. So I think DeMar is going to wait to see how it goes this year and do the best deal for himself, and we’ll do the best deal for ourselves, too.”
