OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

that's the only play with RJ tbh.

Yeah, I don't think even entertaining "his" price is a thing. The market is really unlikely to be high on him as a free agent. I think you tap in with the trade market this summer to see if there's anything out there for you, with RJ as a trade chip option and see what happens. Do that while seeing if RJ will extend at a team friendly number aligned with his analytic value and just see what happens. If nothing happens, playing out the clock with him is entirely acceptable. The only thing not acceptable is buckling to fan pressure and signing him to another bad deal. We already have enough dodgy contract value on our books to deal with. Ingram, IQ, and Jake are all over priced deals for us to work around.
 

It’s expected that both general manager Bobby Webster and head coach Darko Rajakovic will be offered contract extensions in the coming weeks, Sportsnet has learned. Each of them have another year left on their current deal.
As one well-placed source put it: “You don’t have your head coach and general manager head into the final year of their contracts as lame ducks, not after a playoff year.”
As another said: “It will happen when it happens,” referring specifically to Webster, “but it will happen.”
The timing, length and any other details related to an agreement with Webster are still to be determined as there have yet to be formal discussions with MLSE beyond a mutual understanding that there is a deal to be had. New terms with Rajakovic — who had a year added to his initial three-year deal in the second half of the 2024-25 season — will likely be Webster’s call.
