The unknown is cleared with Juancho: his year will be guaranteed in Toronto

Juancho Hernangómez will be able to face the campus of the Raptors season with some peace of mind. Not so much on a sporting level, where he’ll have to fight to maintain his position on a team with a lot of competition for someone on his profile, but in terms of securing a salary.

The Spanish striker’s contract will be guaranteed for the 2022/23 season. In other words, it will be paid in full even if it is cut short at some point in the campaign. I reported this Blake Murphy, who follows team news for sports netas the journalist contributes Contracts Specialist Keith Smith Spotrac, which is a minimum deal for a veteran. In the case of Hernángómez, who has six years of NBA experience in his backpack, the amount he will make thanks to the current agreement is $2.2 million. It has already been fixed.

Juancho Hernangómez comes from huge ups and downs in the past year. Before last summer’s games, which he couldn’t play because his team blocked him, he was with Timberwolves, tiptoeing through Grizzlies, playing with Celtics and Spurs and ending up with jazz. And now it’s Toronto, a team well integrated into the Eastern Conference where they will seek to stay when their commitment to the national team ends.

For a player from the Madrid community, this is a small respite. At least in the economic part. He can go play EuroBasket with the national team, of which he is a major asset, without reservations and then face the Raptors campus. However, Nick Nurse’s place in next season’s final squad will be decided there, before the start of 2022/23, and there are still adjustments to be made in Toronto. Great strikers who can play both “3” and “4” had Pascal Siakam Home already OG Anunoby; More as a fixed striker they added the current champion in this market Otto Porter; They also have 2 more people representing other attackers but can go up to a “5”, just in case Scotty Barnes s Chris Boucher. They are all competing for Huanzhou on a sporting level but they have already confirmed their presence in existing. Hernangomez starts with an advantage among the players who are still waiting for the final decision, just like what happens to the Ukrainian. Svi Mykhailiuk. There are three other players, DJ WilsonAnd the Justin champagne s Dalano Bantonwhose contracts are not fully guaranteed and from which can come the disposal they have to do in Canada.
