No team has more money tied up in mid than the Raptors. I don't know how Masai still has a job.

5/$225 for Scottie Barnes
5/$162 million for Quickley

And you know he's gonna give RJ Barrett a stupid contract too like 5/$200 since the cap will be higher in a couple years.

Even though I've never been high on Barnes, they got him for a steal. Bro only 23, and he's locked up until '30.

Even if he doesn't improve, he's good enough to put in a package for someone better.

I don't see how when he's a poor three point shooter making first option money.

It's not really first-option money anymore :manny:

Jaylen Brown right now will make more money this year than Barnes will until the last year of Barnes contract, where he'll get 51 milly. With how the NBA revenue is trending upwards, 51 milly in '29/30 is gonna be light af.

Even without the 3pt shot, I'd still take Barnes over a lot of dudes because he's a legit playmaker
