raptors juust set themselves back.

The biyombo and carroll moves were just what they needed....but this? its over

It doesn't look that bad under the new cap, but still...they will probably have two picks in the 14-20 range next year. They could've just drafted somebody better and saved themselves the money.

Plus Ross hasn't really improved in 3 years, they should've just let him play out this year and let his performance dictate his value.

Breh a Jr smith, nick young will never see this money
But a bum ass ross?

I'd rather get a Kevin martin or even pay a Jeremy lamb or Kyle singler 6-7 mill


Everyone in this thread is aware of that, but that money could've been spent on better players this offseason. Ross is one of the most frustrating players in the NBA to watch, one game he'll go for 25 then he'll have 5 straight games with 5 points :upsetfavre:

If Masai brings DeMar back for 25 mil :scust:

well, he's making slightly less than shumpert, and only 3 years instead of shumpert's 4. not sure what the big deal here is.

There's a reason why JR and Nick Young would never get paid like this. They're both shot-happy chuckers and they're already 30. Plus both guys put too much of their business out there on social media.

Ross will be 28 when his deal's done and like @beaniemac said, it's comparable to the deal Shumpert got. With the new cap, 11 mil is basically $7-8 mil. It's not that bad, but he's definitely not worth that type of money since he doesn't really excel at anything.

I would've just signed Batum to the same kind of type deal DeMarre Carroll got this summer and draft another wing to replace Ross instead.

Doesnt matter , ross will never be better than he is now. A streaky shooter with suspect handles, cant attack the rim. Disappears in games.

Paying ross 11 mill a year is a slap to everyone.

Ross prob thought it was April fools when he saw that deal

To reward and pay a guy like Terrence Ross 11 mil a year is ridiculous no matter what salary cap era we are in. Living in Canada, I have watched a lot of Raps games, and you can just tell that the guy will never amount to anything more than a bench player who will give you a good game every 15-20 games. He doesn't have the drive or the passion to be a star in this league.

This makes the Landry Fields contract look like a steal....

Damn even role players are gonna get broke off with this new salary cap starting next year. Just imagine what someone like Russy or AD is going to get on their next contract.
