Pascal Siakam Hasn’t Talked Extension With Raptors

While the Toronto Raptors can pay Pascal Siakam up to $197 million, Siakam has no interest in signing an extension as of right now.

This is a very unique situation because Siakam has never requested a trade, according to Shams Charania. He’s being patient and taking his time on his future in the NBA.

The 29-year-old is in the final year of his deal, which means he will be an unrestricted free agent come next offseason.

Teams like the Hawks have been interested in trading for the forward, but he has expressed he won’t sign an extension with the team that trades for him. This, in turn, has caused his trade stock to be slow and a little more on the low side.

Per Charania, Atlanta has offered Toronto a package consisting of De’Andre Hunter, AJ Griffin, and draft picks for Siakam.

Trade talks between the two teams have been paused, it is unclear what the future of Siakam is as all options are still on the table.

Jalen Suggs Signs $150 Million Extension With Magic

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Orlando Magic and Jalen Suggs have come together for a three-year contract. The deal is worth $150.5 million.

There is no player or team option included in this deal, as Suggs is the fifth player to get an extension coming out of the 2021 draft.

The 23-year-old has been vocal about staying in Orlando and not changing teams. Orlando’s Media Day was the most recent time Suggs was vocal about his contract situation.

Last season was his best and most consistent season. Suggs averaged 12.6 points (career-high), 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in 75 games.

In previous seasons, he was plagued by injury. However, as demonstrated last season, Suggs is a valuable asset to Orlando when not riddled with injuries.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Jalen Green has signed a $106 million extension with the Houston Rockets. It has been inked for three years.

This deal will see Green make $33.3 million in the first year and $36 million in the second and third years as well. A player option has been attached to the end of this deal.

The 22-year-old is the first player to negotiate a 2-plus-1 rookie extension on a nine-figure deal. This isn’t atypical behavior from Green, as he’s also the first-ever G League player to sign an NBA contract straight out of the draft.

Last season, in all 82 games, Green averaged 19.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 31.7 minutes.

In separate but related news, Houston has extended Alperen Sengun to a five-year, $185 million deal.
