Breaking News: Raptors and Scottie Barnes agree on $225M extension.
Scottie Barnes and the Toronto Raptors have agreed to terms on a max extension, one that will be worth about $225 million over five years and could reach about $270 million if he meets supermax criteria, a person with knowledge of the deal said Monday.
Barnes intends to sign the contract shortly after the league’s moratorium on signings is lifted July 6, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal cannot be announced by NBA rule until that time.
It would begin in the 2025-26 season, with a starting salary of about $39 million and reaching about $51 million in 2029-30 – unless he qualifies for a supermax contract next season, and then the numbers would get even higher.
