The Toronto Raptors have secured their guy.
With Scottie Barnes heading into his fourth NBA season, the conversation of his contract has started to pop up. Rookies sign three year contracts with a fourth year team option, and obviously the Toronto Raptors opted into Scottie’s fourth year as soon as they could.
Now as we approach free agency next week, Scottie will be allowed to sign a contract extension. Again, the Raptors wasted no time negotiating with their “franchise cornerstone” when in-team negotiations opened up after the NBA Finals ended.
The team has been all-in on Scottie Barnes after drafting him fourth overall in 2021.
