Shams: Raptors sign Mamukelashvili to a two-year, $5.5 million deal (player option)

Plays like a 3 in a 4/5 body, not good defensively. But a decent bench option.

Masai is always giving out that Infamous player option ...oh wait it's Bobby this whole time???

Looks like a good fit. A big that can space the floor is badly needed on this team

Welp. There's the backup C. Pretty good rebounder (particularly on the O-boards). Seems like a semi-reasonable spacing big, even if he isn't a good defender. At least something to spell Yak, anyhow.

I don't think there's any urgency for that. Don't we have till seasons end to resolve our tax issues and avoid any penalties?

yup we have until the TDL.

A trade has to be coming regardless. The roster is weirdly constructed right now. Need to balance things out

We have quality depth at every position for the first time in years.

No reason to make a trade before you see how the team fits together, we have 12 months to duck under the tax if need be

technically 8 months/cant duck tax after TDL

A player option makes your offer standout from other competing offers, otherwise, Raps likely to have pay more upfront, which given their cap situation, they can't really do.

almost all contracts come with a player option now, its not a raptors/canadian tax thing like people say
i would wager 80% of contracts so far this year have a player option
