The Raptors are retaining one of the better young players in the NBA for the long haul.<\/p>\n
Toronto is set to award guard Scottie Barnes a five-year rookie supermax deal worth up to $270 million, according to ESPN\u2019s Adrian Wojnarowski.<\/p>\n
The contract, which Barnes will sign July 6, makes him the highest-paid player in Raptors history.<\/p>\n
Barnes is guaranteed $225 million, per ESPN, which would rank 17th in annual average value (AAV).<\/p>\n
He could become the fifth-highest paid player in the NBA should he hit his incentives and reach the full potential of $54 million AAV.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old turned in his best season this past year, bumping his points per game to 19.9 and rebounds to 8.2 while securing his first All-Star nod in this third season.<\/p>\n
The former Florida State Seminole has been good all three seasons in the Association, winning Rookie of the Year in 2021-22 and averaging at least 15.3 points per game in every season.<\/p>\n
As part of his rookie contract, Barnes was set to make a little more than $10.3 million during the 2024-25 season prior to hitting the open market in 2025.<\/p>\n
The No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft is the first player to sign a lucrative contract in his class, with 2024 being the first year any of such players were eligible for bigger paydays.<\/p>\n
According to Basketball Reference, Barnes\u2019 15.9 win shares are the second-most in his draft class, trailing the Cleveland Cavaliers\u2019 Evan Mobley (19.3).<\/p>\n
Despite Barnes\u2019 stellar play, Toronto went just 25-57 in coach Darko Rajakovic\u2019s inaugural season, finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n
The Raptors, who traded Pascal Siakam to the Pacers and O.G. Anunoby to the Knicks during the 2023-24 season, went 3-19 in their final 22 games.<\/p>\n
In locking down Barnes for the foreseeable future, Toronto can build around a core that also includes former Knicks guard\/forward R.J. Barrett.<\/p>\n
The franchise\u2019s key free agents include guard Immanuel Quickley and Gary Trent Jr.<\/p>\n
Toronto will look to lay the foundation for its first playoff berth since 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
