BREAKING: “Raptors Make Scottie Barnes Highest-Paid Player in Team History with $270 Million Extension”.

Scottie Barnes is anticipated to ink a massive contract extension with the Raptors.

By giving Scottie Barnes a huge rookie deal, the Toronto Raptors are demonstrating their unwavering commitment to him as the cornerstone of their team. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that Barnes and the Raptors have reached an agreement on a five-year deal extension that may be worth up to $270 million. Barnes would become the highest-paid player in Raptors team history as a result of the deal.

Barnes would receive a $225 million guarantee as part of the agreement. If he was selected to an All-NBA or All-Defensive team, the amount would increase to $270 million. Given that Barnes has already assembled an All-Star team, one of those results is quite likely. The Raptors are certain they have a star on their hands, even though Barnes has had some injury concerns. That is also supported by the statistics, as Barnes averaged 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game for Toronto in the previous campaign. Despite their poor performance (25–57), the team’s strategy is obviously to center around the 22-year-old forward.
