Thanks to the James Harden trade, Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri is now in a pickle.
Pascal Siakam is in the final season of his four-year, $136.9 million contract and is set to become a free agent in July. Fellow forward OG Anunoby has a $19.9 million player option for the 2024-25 season that he’s a virtual lock to decline. The Raptors can only offer Anunoby a four-year extension worth roughly $117 million, but longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein said in early October that he’s expected to “rebuff any extension attempts” and test free agency next summer.
