What should the Raptors do with Pascal Siakam?
Ya'll are like vultures, when and if he leaves and we get something, and they don't perform, the vultures will circle again. Waiting for the turn on Scotty., that's how sad this fan base can be.
"oh we cant trade pascal cuz of the return"
Bruh, he is about to WALK.
Basic math; which number is bigger, 0 or (ANYTHING ELSE)
the knicks kings heat hawks can take siakam
Wtf lol it’s way too early to call for a trade after 7 games. Pascal will get better and will adjust.
Pascal tries to drive when the paint is packed, his low iq plays are becoming more and more obvious. If he was a smarter player he would be cutting and screening for others and defending. He unfortunately got used to being the man and being a max player. Nurse force fed him to pad his stats . Better to trade him and retool around Scottie and OG. Better to pay Scottie and OG max dollars they will be worth it.
My friends, you don’t see Pascal’s new functionality & contribution for the team. PS is still a key & very valuable player for Raptors.
I luv spicy p. Man, but he's not him. No. 2 yes, but not the 1.
Did you learn absolutely nothing from Fred??? He had a chance to be a number 1 and it didn’t work at all. You’re a horrible Monday morning QB. Fred walking away was perfect for the raptors they got a guy putting up the exact same stats for 1/4 the price. Siakam needs to accept he is at best a Robin.
I believed in the dream of Scottie and Siakam as a dynamic duo both with their length, ability to put the ball on the floor and shoot…just hasn't happened where both are dominating together. Think we need to give it until game 25-30 of the season…surely Siakam can't continue playing this bad….and look to trade him.
Trade him. No brainer. He's a great player, but the Raptors are living in fantasyland. He will bring back a nice return. It's either him or OG come the off season.
Try to get buddy hield salary filler and a 1st round pick
I like the Kings deal that's been floated around a bit. A 1st and some serious bench capital.
Siakam was only All NBA because of the injuries to all the forwards lol
Trade pascal and Trent for lavine we need scoring and 3 points I don’t know if lavine is available tho then resign og to an extension
Send him to the West.
Pascal is a good player like DeRozan. Either he accepts being #2 guy & finds success or we need to trade him sadly. Scottie is our #1 and will be.
Let's be really, really, really honest here. WHO in Raptors-land goes to see a Raptors game to watch Pascal Siakam play? He is awkward to watch and worse to listen to on the floor. He isn't star material, he isn't MVP material and he is NOT a leader or primary option on any team. If he played somewhere else, we wouldn't give a crap about this dude.
Get us players with a skill set worth watching – that is all I ask. Masai – you listening?
If we get past the trade deadline and this team is virtually the same it's time for Masai and Bobby to get fired they've done nothing since the championship (that fans so desperately hold onto) outside of Scottie Masai has missed on every pick nvm letting players walk for nothing speaking of the entire league wants OG but with how incompetent the front office is they will go into free agency thinking they actually have a chance at resigning OG (they do not)
This roster needs a overhaul from top to bottom the bench is a crime against humanity and the half court offense I mean don't even get me started sure I get hesitating on Scottie after year 2 but since when does that stop you from doing your fucking job
Pascal has all the opportunity to be the man lol. He’s been this way his entire career. He plays a good game and then no-shows for the next few.
Siakam needs to be Siakam. There are times when the Raptors can't do anything, just running around the perimeter unable to penetrate. In this situation the Raps need a penetrator. Siakam is the only one on the team who can power his way to the net. He is the only penetrator from a set position.
