Raptors fans anticipate offseason and trade-deadline moves to turn a young overachieving team into a title contender. Salary is the main constraint, with long-term commitments to Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, Immanuel Quickley, and Jakob Poeltl. RJ Barrett is extension-eligible, while Sandro Mamukelashvili is expected to decline his player option and reach free agency for a larger contract. Barrett’s future is effectively tied to his contract situation, and a pay cut could keep him in Toronto. In the playoffs, Barrett averaged 24.1 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.3 steals, including a clutch three that forced Game 7 against the Cavaliers. He stepped up during Quickley’s hamstring absence and Ingram’s heel injury before Ingram missed the final games. Barrett’s performance strengthened his case to join Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles as part of the core.
"Vecenie suggested three years for 75 million for Barrett and trades that send out Brandon Ingram and/or Jakob Poeltl."
