Predicting Which Contract Each NBA Team Will Regret Most | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

Scotsman Barnes
Toronto Raptors
Salary 2024-2025: $43 million
Other contract: $234.3 million/six years

Barnes could jump to 30 percent of the cap if he qualifies. The Raptors didn’t make the playoffs and are taking all the risks. Like the deals for Haliburton, Young, Mobley, Cunningham, etc., should teams pay the most for as long as possible?

Barnes and Haliburton were All-Stars in 2023-24, making them relatively safe picks, but the Hawks overpaid Young too early and have struggled to win since.
