On one hand, the Champagne Papi is sad to see a beloved star and close friend sent packing in a trade to the San Antonio Spurs. On the other, he's excited to see a "poised clinical Warrior" like Kawhi Leonard make his way north of the border.

In an Instagram post published Wednesday afternoon, Drake thanked DeRozan for all the good he did for the city and team since 2009, while also welcoming in Leonard as a "new chapter" of Raptors basketball officially gets underway.
