00:00Scottie Barnes gets a five-year, $270 million-reported extension with the Toronto Raptors. Barnes
00:10one of the great young players in the NBA. It gives me hope that my son can go on to
00:16do great things, too, because Scottie Barnes went to my son's high school, so maybe he
00:22should just start playing in the NBA. Although, Jacob, my son's going to be a little shorter,
00:25I have a feeling, than Scottie Barnes. I don't know that he's going to be his height.
00:30But needless to say, great story to see the success that he had on the court and now getting
00:35paid off the court. Thanks for coming on.
00:37Oh, glad to be here, Craig. We'll see if your son can hit that growth spurt and get up to
00:42that 6'9", that Scottie's in that range. And I think this is a good deal for the Raptors
00:47and just this team and Scottie Barnes, because you're paying a guy not only based on what
00:53he's done for you so far, he's shown immense potential. He's improved his three-point shot
00:57every year. He's really a do-it-all threat. He's a good scorer near the hoop. He rebounds,
01:02and he's a good passer. So you have all that, and he's a great defender. So it should be
01:07a no-brainer to give him this type of deal, because he's still only 22, 23 years old.
01:12He's only going to keep getting better. And by the time he hits his prime, he could be
01:16one of the best players in the NBA and was already an all-star last year. So got to like
01:20this deal if you're the Raptors. You got to love it if you're Scottie Barnes. You're
01:23getting the maximum amount of money you can. But you know, if the Raptors want to build
01:27back towards being a contender, keeping Barnes was a key part of that. So I definitely like
01:31this move for them.
