The Toronto Raptors wasted no time in signing Brandon Ingram to a lucrative contract extension. Surprisingly, the deal is more team-friendly than anticipated and gives Toronto some flexibility. The new contract is for reportedly $120 million over three years with a player option in the 2027-28 season.
Toronto traded for the former Most Improved Player of the Year in exchange for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, and a second-round draft pick. The Raptors are hoping Ingram can fill the void at the wing position and provide some valuable scoring production. They also hope he can serve as a valuable veteran presence and help teach their star of the future, Scottie Barnes, and their young core. A core that features Barnes, Gradey Dick, R.J. Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley.
