    $21.6MM AAV for Ibaka, $33.3MM for Lowry

    DeRozan's salary runs until 2020-21, one year longer than these deals, and the only contract still on the books then.

    Toronto overpaid for both players in order to keep the deals to 3-years only.

    Ujiri and new GM Webster are looking at making trades to escape the luxury tax. Carroll, Joseph, and Valanciunas are on the block.

    Toronto was not able to keep free agent PJ Tucker who signed with Houston.

    Currently, Toronto's lineup is as follows

    Lowry, Joseph, Wright, VanVleet
    DeRozan, Powell
    Carroll, Caboclo, Anunoby
    Ibaka, Poeltl, Siakam
    Valanciunas, Nogueira

    Somewhat surprised that Lowrey resigned, then I saw where Toronto paid him well to do it! Money talks Good for him and the Raptors
