RJ Barrett a potential offseason trade candidate?
Pinpointing Barrett's standing is trickier. The Canadian has two more seasons left on his current contract after this one at $27.7 million in 2025-26 and then $29.6 million in 2026-27. And before that final year arrives, Toronto will almost certainly be holding contract extension talks with Gradey Dick, who the Raptors have held in as high regard as anyone in the building who doesn't have BARNES stitched into the back of his jersey. Don't forget that the Raptors also drafted Ja'Kobe Walter, another scoring guard, with the No. 19 pick last June. All of that makes Barrett someone who has to be monitored as a potential trade candidate once the offseason arrives. The modern NBA is now dominated by contract extensions and players getting traded to the team that is willing to give them one ... with surrounding players occasionally rendered casualties along the way.
