Raptors Weigh RJ Barrett Extension | Toronto Raptors News

The Raptors face a high-stakes offseason decision: extend Kawhi Leonard (a near-certain lock) and Jamal Shead (their unsung hero), while wrestling with RJ Barrett’s looming contract. With Barrett averaging 24+ points in the playoffs and outperforming recently locked-up players, his agent likely demands a deal exceeding Quickley’s $32.5M salary — risking cap trouble. But Barrett’s playoff surge came partly due to injuries, and his off-ball role with Kawhi and Barnes might limit his impact. With championship dreams on the line, Toronto must weigh paying top dollar now or trading the hometown star — and maybe wait to see how he fits before committing long-term.
