Overview
- The Toronto Raptors officially converted rookie guard Jaden Bradley’s two-way deal into a multi-year standard contract, a move announced on Monday.
- Reports put the contract at four years and about $9.3 million with only the first year guaranteed and a fourth-year team option, preserving team flexibility.
- The promotion used second-round pick cap mechanics so Bradley could be added as the 14th standard player without pushing Toronto past the first-apron hard cap.
- Bradley, the 50th overall pick and last season’s Big 12 Player of the Year at Arizona, is expected to compete for occasional NBA minutes and spend significant time developing with Raptors 905 in the G League.
- Bradley’s conversion opened a two-way slot that the team is filling by converting guard Malachi Smith to a two-way contract, which secures additional perimeter depth for training camp and the season ahead.
