Has Scottie Barnes made Pascal Siakam expendable for the Raptors?
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
Scottie seems to be in that place of limbo where he can't create his own offense; that sophomore slump is real. It reminds me of what happened to Ben Simmons when he plateaued.

It's not a slump....he's just peaked as a player. It's just that you nikkas who were acting like he was Kawhi or something put unrealistic expectations on him....so now that he hasn't reached that level you say it's a slump...when in reality he was never that guy.
Suggs will end up being the more impactful player with the bigger upside. He already showed strides in almost every category but kept getting hurt.
Save me this. You don't even watch Raptors games.

He tries at least. But he would be better with a passing point guard
The raptors offense is pretty awful. No ball movement, everyone just stands there
If Suggs is even average he’s gonna look better than Barnes his 1st 2yrs. Only way Barnes is gonna look better is if he shows a scoring bag. If he’s only Draymond then all that mystique Masai be carrying will be out the window. Cause this shyt is so obvious. A dude with no shooting potential should never be going top10 in the league today...let alone top 5. And the last thing Raps fans want is another Marvin Williams/CP3 situation
Sad ass agenda posting.

Nothing wrong with being a more athletic Draymond who is more of a scoring threat & can hit an occasional triple
Problem w/ Barnes is roster fit...too many jacks on one team that need the rock...even a guy like Trent is entitled on the offensive end

Theres no roster fit problem its A Scottie refusing to be assertive every night problem....
Scottie Is A Good Player And Will Likely Continue To Develop Over The Years …But If Durant Was On The Table For Him And Masai Didn’t Pull The Trigger ….He fukked Up
You cant get KD for Scottie 1 for 1 because of salary theyd have to include him in a package that would already deplete the roster...Masai made some mistakes but the KD one wasnt one of them......Theres no point acquiring if theres nobody left for him to play with....
Trent / OG / Barnes would have easily worked money wise and the team would have had plenty of depth to go around an excellent core of FVV / KD / Pascal …Like I said in another post …delusional ass raptors fans didn’t want to trade Barnes for KD and defended Masai’s nonsense logic about him being a “non starter” in any trade talks just like you’re posting

FVV Siakam KD aint winning shyt......It doesnt make sense to trade for KD unless you have a roster left over deep enough,aint my fault ur a casual and dont know that....
At least you’ve progressed from the lie that a deal couldn’t be consummated because of salary differences…that’s encouraging
Make Scottie your PG
