Raptors haven’t had enough big players to say big name players don’t want to STAY here. Attracting free agents is a legitimate issue for Toronto but basically every athlete who plays in toronto LOVES the city but usually end up leaving because of other reasons (shytty teams and bad management). Kawhi the only guy who left for reasons other than the team is shyt...and that’s cuz he wanted to be close to his family, which is understandable.
Also, max contracts used to only be reserved for franchise players but that’s not the case anymore—second and third option type players often make the max these days. Siakam has already proven himself to be a viable second option on a championship team...in his third year of professional basketball and only his seventh year of organized basketball. He gonna be fine.
