As revealed on the team’s media day, Toronto’s had “conversations” with Siakam’s representation and, according to Charania, it would appear those discussions have centred around on either a four-year, $130-million extension or a five-year, $170-million contract.
Toronto has until Oct. 21 to sign Siakam to an extension, otherwise he becomes a restricted free agent in the summer of 2020.
In Siakam, the Raptors have what appears to be a two-way rising star who is expected to be the team’s offensive focal point this season after a breakout 2018-19 that saw him average 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists on 54.9 per cent shooting, and raising his game even more in the post-season with averages of 19.0 points and 7.1 rebounds.
