The Toronto Raptors have been trying to reshape this roster as they prepare for a potential future without Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell, but one of their best players, standout forward Pascal Siakam, might have unfortunately made it difficult for them to potentially acquire another star alongside him.

The New Mexico State product signed a four-year, $136 million contract that pays him just over $30 million this year and will help him earn $37 million in 2023-24, the last year of the deal.
