According to The Athletic, Siakam stands to become eligible for a remarkable five-year, $307.23 million deal next summer if he makes an All-NBA team this coming campaign.

This projection surpasses Brown's existing five-year, $303 million agreement with the Boston Celtics.

Currently, in the final year of his contract with the Raptors, Siakam initially inked a four-year, $136.91 million deal back in 2019. In the upcoming season, he's set to earn $37.89 million before transitioning into an unrestricted free agent in 2024.

During the 2022-23 season, Siakam averaged 24.2 points per game with a shooting efficiency of 48.0%, which included a 32.4% success rate from beyond the arc. His contributions also extended to 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per contest.
