Realistic Expectations on a Siakam Trade Return | JD Bunkis Podcast

I want Pascal traded too but AJ and DeAndre Hunter is simply not enough to get a player that good. I don’t care
extention from the raptors makes so much more sense than trading him for those 2 players. kicking the can isnt always good, but how could you let him go for that? thats called rushing into it to be worse.
Siakam is an all star who Toronto should keep at all cost. Other player have to join him like Kawai did…. Enough. I would rather him leave on his own than trade him for scraps… like Vince Carter. Tell the other NBA teams to shove it.
Do you think the Raptors should trade Pascal Siakam? What would you like to see them get in return?
JD Bunkis…do you realize how much you talk during an interview?! God, just stop giving your opinion and allow your guest some input once in a while. You really love listening to yourself! FYI, Raps have 3 Vets on the roster Thad, Otto and Garrett. Yes, they may not be starters, but their role is to guide and lead the youngsters on how to be Pros. I see our Raps as a lower tier Playoff team. Shooting is still the biggest question mark.
If the Raptors are upping the price at each turn, just think how many crappy offers Atlanta sent before this crappy offer?
1:38 – Fred is gone…let that sink in. We're ok.
it's clear that the FO doesn't believe in Pascal (rightfully so I think he's vastly overrated). I just don't understand why they're STILL negotiating as though they're in a position of strength…. they're not
Raptors can't sign both Siakim and Anunoby next summer without going into the luxury tax, one of them had to go. It's as simple as that. And given that, Anunoby is the obvious one to keep as he's younger and cheaper and provides more future value than Siakim can who has peaked and just won't get any better. Siakim will never bring the Raptors or any other team to the promised land. Given Ujiri's dismal record of losing his free agents for nothing, he'd better start lowering his expectations. Getting 80 cents on the dollar back is better than zero cents. Trade Siakim for what you can get and move one, it's the right move.
Hunter stinks, 2024 drafts stinks, Griffin is solid, Kobe is solid potential,
4yr/ 192
Makes all NBA – Super Max eligible is why Pascal will not extend
Let’s be realistic with the trade offer. ATL wants to get a 3rd star (20+ pts) while the Raptors get what, who, nothing??? Low balling is low balling. Their number 2 player or nothing. ATL and anyone thinking it was a serious offer can go kick rocks!
Why are these two acting like trades don’t happen closer to in season deadline’s. When a team needs a push they start looking to trade to get into contention l. 🤦🏻
I don’t get why people don’t see Herro as a reasonable centrepiece for a Siakam trade.
Raptors testing the value of OG and Pascal before offering new contracts to both. Front office being meticulous about their job. No trade is coming
What makes you think Siakam would sign for 200mil when he can make 300mil if he makes all NBA this year.
