Has Scottie Barnes made Pascal Siakam expendable for the Raptors?

[OsO]

Siakam not that bad, he's just inconsistent.

No need to trade either of them, just continue to build around your young core.

Plus trade him for what? A second rounder?

He's a third option player being paid like a first option. What teams wanna sign up to overpay him right now?

 

[OsO]

And him OG, and Scottie can all play together. The league is different now you don't need a traditional center to be effective.

You’re paying attention and not watching with the emotions of last year and the bubble bothering you. Respect.

Siakam has been mostly brilliant since Dec 2. Hasn’t netted a negative plus minus in that stretch. Only like three games shooting below 50%. And he’s not even shooting the ball well from deep or the line.

But more importantly, it’s the approach that’s different. Less jumpers. More drives. Patience. Manipulating the D. Passing. Rebounding. He’s a different guy right now. I think he’s finally figuring it out.

Hes reverting back to the guy we saw Oct-Dec 2019...my only issue is the late game anxiety still shows....the missed FTs at the end..

Right now hes playing like a legit 2nd...and lets be real on this.1st 2nd or 3rd options can all be max players...Chris Bosh was a max player and 3rd option in Miami.

If you flip Siakam for Vuci Bulls are the favorites in the East and a true title contender...

Hes not inconsistent right now...and hed get back alot more than a 2nd.

You're kidding me right? Mad teams would take him in a heart beat. He's good enough for a 2nd option scorer. If you think he's a 3rd option, you're not watching him play.

The problem is what does Toronto get back? It's like Kyle Lowry all over again.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

A lot of teams are in desperate need of wings, so they would definitely give up the assets to get Siakam and take on his contract as well.

 

[Controversy]

but you didnt name em...

im not taking him over KD, Giannis, Bron, Tatum, Brow, Sabonis, PG13, and this season Derozan

And that's just off top

Nah Lowry was 36 Siakam is 27....IF Siakam keeps playing like he is right now they will get a haul for him at the deadline if they decide to go that route....hes not overpaid at this level of production and he has 2 years left under contract,the only question was could he re discover his all nba self and he has...

 

[Tom Foolery]

If he continues playing like he has been hes not overpaid,the guy from last year was overpaid and trash....the guy whos averaging 24/11/6 in his last 12 games on 52 % shooting is what they need him to be...

At $33m plus, I don't want any if's.

Dude has one pretty good stretch of play, @Gil Scott-Heroin thinks he's player of the month now.

DeRozan is a guard.....this year hes better than Tatum,Sabonis...

Im more focused on Van Vleet...hes at the height of how good he will be,i wonder if the Raps are even thinking about that...because in a year,hes gonna opt out and want a max.

 

[Controversy]

DeRozan is a guard.....this year hes better than Tatum,Sabonis...

So what are Lonzo & Lavine

Derozan has been playing the 3 exclusively & occasionally the 4...so cut that out

 

[Controversy]

DeRozan is a guard.....this year hes better than Tatum,Sabonis...

Sabonis averaging 18-12-5 and shooting 57%

And if you think Siakam is better than Tatum...
