The Toronto Raptors have signed forward Serge Ibaka to a three-year, $65 million contract.

So, all confirmed: Ibaka 3yrs/$65m. Raps have to be pleased with the term.

Earlier, the Raptors missed out on re-signing forward P.J. Tucker, who agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract with the Houston Rockets.

The team was in trade talks with the Indiana Pacers involving point guard Cory Joseph, in an effort to increase cap space. Joseph is owed $7.6 million next season.

Can confirm Raps have talked w/ Pacers about CortJo. Pacers need a PG, can absorb Cory's $$; Raps need to stay under apron to use full MLE.

The 27-year-old big man averaged 14 points and seven rebounds for the Raptors after he was acquired at last year’s trade deadline, in a deal that sent Terrence Ross to the Orlando Magic.
