Looks like Yuta and probably Wainwright get the final roster spots

We aren't. OG is making more than Trent. The contract originally announced for Trent was inaccurate.

Unlikely. Currently we only have 12 guaranteed contracts. If we want to stay under it would mean breaking camp without 15 guys. It is far more likely we start over the tax. It will be pretty easy to get under by end of season though. Dragic trade will facilitate this, but even if they are unable to trade him we could easily make another deal to get under.

It is a little interesting that they were willing to sign Svi to a guaranteed deal even though we had already committed some salary to 15 guys (now 16). When you are walking this close to the tax a 200K guarantee isn't nothing.

He didn't play well defensively when he came over but he's actually above average on that end and this year will show that.


Enough of that intelligent talk.


Except that it's not just a two year contract. It's 2+1 player option.

If Trent plays badly, he's going to pick up the option and we're stuck paying for the bad contract.
If he plays above expectations, then he opts out and either we will have to overpay to re-sign him to a new contract or lose him.

Intelligent talk that conveniently skips the most important details and the worst part of the contract.....

Quick question:
When was the last time that Masai handed out an extension that looked like bad value by the end of the contract?

At one point a ton of people here were killing him for the Norm extension and of course that turned out to be crazy good value.

Off the top of my head, Derozan.

It wasn't a horrible contract but every team knew about his limitations, especially in the playoffs. A few years into it, Masai was already looking to get rid of him.

I'm sure the Spurs were looking to move him earlier to start the rebuild but didn't have many offers.

the reason demar was looking to be moved wasnt his salary, it was his game style, fit. his new contract with bulls has a higher avv than the contract signed with raptors.

I thought Raptors did pretty well considering they DIDN'T give Derozan a full max. imho, if it was any other GM, Derozan would have gotten the max. every role player out there that is a second fiddle is getting a max deal nowadays.

It was both. He was getting paid a lot of money at the time but had too many major limitations. He wasn't good enough to be your top two player for a contending team.

About the Bulls contract, it's pretty universal opinion that they overpaid and that was one of the worst contracts handed out during free agency. I woud take it as an example of a team desparate to sign a big name.

Problem is he was exposed in the playoffs so he can't be your first or second option and should not be paid anywhere close to one. After the consecutive playffs failures here, his contract was not looking very good.

Derozan would have gotten that contract anywhere else. So it’s not a bad contract if everyone would have given him the same amount of money (or more).

I think factoring regular season play, Derozan was deserving of that contract as well. No one short pays a guy because he can’t perform in the playoffs as every playoff series/season is so wildly different.

And I don’t think it’s fair to say that EVERYONE knew he was exposed in the playoffs moving forward. Every **** year, this forum would go: THIS IS THE YEAR. Or the narrative that they would have gotten to the finals WITH Derozan (the year Lebron left the eastern conference/ championship year)

You can go back in this forum and check out those years. Everyone was hopeful. I don’t think anyone will say Beal doesn’t deserve a max contract either. So it’s a moot point about Derozans contract as bad. Not that you’re saying it is bad or horrible as you stated above. You just can’t make a case that the Derozan extension was bad because of bad playoff performances. He got paid to be a regular season star player.

When he signed that contract yes, I'm sure that a lot of teams would have offered that contract. A couple of years in, I'm sure a lot of teams were hesitant to pay him that much money for someone who can't be a top option. We were looking to get rid of it ourselves. Near the end of the contract, I don't think many teams were willing to take on his contract.

The reason I mention this is because the original question was which contract that Masai handed out looked like a bad value contract by the end of the contract.

I think he would have continued to put up all star numbers and be an all star, at least in the Eastern Conference.

so no, don't think it would have been a 'bad' contract at all. we still have an all star at the end of the day and he would have continued to be voted in by Raptors fans.

Agreed, he would have continued to put up all star type numbers here but we wouldn't have challenged for a championship and by the end of the contract, it would have been pretty difficult to move.

I would say it's not a "bad" contract but wasn't considered good value at the end.

Most people would not consider his new contract a good contract, even though he will continue to put up decent numbers.

Tell that to the people who thought they would have went to the NBA Finals - with Derozan - because the only thing stopping them was Lebron lol.

Imho at the end, that contract was good enough - considering so many larger contracts were given out, for players in the same tier as Derozan was in when he first got that near max contract.

Baynes and Johnson were free agent contracts, they were not extensions. McCaw was a bad extension but 4 million/year is not a significant price tag given where he was projecting at the time. But I'll give you that one.

Lol Stanley and Mccaw made like $4-5M 2 yr deals. Baynes was around the MLE; none of these set the franchise back.

Excuse for "insignificant price tag" when adding up to be near 20m?
Baynes didn't set the franchise back?

I don't think we have a horrible contract, but we are over the tax for a play-in team? Even we trade away Dragic to be under the tax, it does not mean we have salary flexibility next year, might as well lose Boucher. So we are happy with this roster for the next 2 years?
