It was always going to be a max. After the season Pascal Siakam had, with a weak upcoming free agent class, and after Jamal Murray agreed to a maximum contract extension, there was no negotiating below that point. Now it’s official, as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting the Toronto Raptors and Pascal Siakam have agreed to a four-year $135 million contract extension.
After the Kyle Lowry extension was completed, the Siakam deal felt more and more likely. The Raptors clearly don’t have free agency plans for the summer of 2020, so locking in the franchise cornerstone as soon as possible became the only priority.
