Internally, the Raptors have budgeted a deal in the $10-million-per-year range, a number that they can get to if they find a taker for the last year of Dick’s contract. That would be a considerable raise for Mamukelashvili, who is expected to decline the $2.8-million player option on his contract by Monday’s deadline. The problem is that bigs with his profile are highly valued, with multiple league sources expecting Mamukelashvili to have a robust market in free agency.
“I think he's getting multiple years guaranteed at more than $10 million a year,” said one league source.
