If the salary cap comes in as projected for 2026-27, Doncic will only slightly improve on his existing $49 million player option. (Milton's $3 million salary was set to guarantee Sunday, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.) Toronto re-signed Poeltl to a four-year, $78 million contract the following summer and is now giving him nearly the largest possible raise off that contract. Technically, Poeltl could have added $88.5 million on a three-year extension after exercising a $19.5 million player option for 2026-27. That means he'll count on the cap at his actual $3.3 million salary rather than the $2.3 million veteran's minimum.
