Good for Siakam! This takes them out for next year's FA. 2021 is the target.

Very happy to see Siakam get paid. Especially because it’s by the Raps.

Glad to see him locked up for next 4 years. Now just get the freak over here and we are set.

Also I don’t understand people criticizing the deal in other places. If raptors don’t pay him, someone will.

Outside of Raptor fans nobody knew who he was going into the post season. I assume barely anyone saw him progress during the regular season. He progressed so much with his playmaking, dribble moves and shooting for a 3rd year player. He's not done improving and I agree that another team would've maxed him.

He’s better than a lot of the max guys out there imo. Especially defensively.

Happy for the guy. Hopefully he can continue to grow. I was hoping he would sign in the offseason so we can get someone this offseason but I'm sure Masai is gonna try for Greek Freak 2 years from now instead.

After signing Lowry and this extension..I think we will see Ibaka and FVV extensions next, and then maybe a one year extension on Gasol as well. They have no room to be players in FA now, so you might as well just take this team as far into the luxury tax as ownership will allow you to if your Masai. Then start making your trades next year. That will give you the most flexibility when acquiring players via trade.

Just keep the band together for now. They showed on Friday night they are still going to be a force this season in the EC.

I'd resign Gasol and Ibaka to 1 year deals but Gasol would probably rather join a contender by that point. Ibaka probably looking for a long term deal given his game relies on athleticism. FVV I would want to resign long term but then we may run out of capspace for Giannis.

What type of contract do you guys think FVV will get?

Hard to tell. Market is not great this summer, which bodes well for him. Wild guess though - 4yrs, 60 million?

Gasol getting traded by the dead line imo
