    $60-million over four years is the rumoured amount. Follows the trend of the Raptors signing their own free agents before they hit the market (Bargnani, DeRozan).

    $64-million over four years, rising to $70-million with incentives.

    Sounds like a good deal. Five years would've been tough. Four? With the new cap? Ok.

    Seems like a great deal to me. Jonas is a good young talent and you always have to pay for bigs.

    I can see a team regretting paying Tristan 20+ per year for five years. I don't see the Raps regretting paying Jonas less for fewer.
