If and when Siakam is traded, Scottie will be left to the wolves. Bloodthirsty fans will then drain Scottie of his joy for the game again and he will not do well under the pressure.
You must not be on the internet that often. Scottie gets an insane amount of slander already. Siakam ain’t protecting him for shit lol.

Guess you haven’t seen all the austism harassment Scottie has been getting.
Some of the worst hate our team members get is from our own fanbase. It’s embarassing.

This doesn’t make any sense lol

ya I mean theres always a punching bag for fans, itll most likely be OG before Scottie though as his touches will go up to with Pascals departure. Still I think you move Pascal for the fear of losing him in the summer

Trading Siakam will mean we would be going younger and the expectations will change from wanting to win now to development (which means expecting to lose more)

Essentially the Raps front office has made the decision for Scottie to be the franchise. Raps could have gotten Durant and like 3 years on a good deal for OG and Barnes in a package when he was available with the Nets. That would have been a win now deal with Siakam.
The front office for whatever reason didn’t move Siakam at that one point or soon after. They should have just went young and given OG and Barnes more time to develop their offense.

Once siakam leaves lets see how quick you guys turn on scottie lol
Devils advocate would be having pieces that better compliment Scottie, making him look better, but you can’t protect Scottie from what comes with being a franchise guy.
The best players in the league are constantly getting eviscerated by their own fan bases and the media outlets that circle them. Part of being the guy is tuning that stuff out.
Lebron’s one of the most scrutinized nba players of all-time while being one of the best, it comes with the territory.
And lets be honest, he’s already got a lot to tune out (critics + no lifers making autism comments on his every move), he’ll be fine.

Siakam for a couple of solid 3 and D players and a couple of draft picks would be nice. It would help clear up the lane and force Scottie as the focal point on offence. Siakam’s inability to hit an outside 3 this season is making his fit with Scottie less practical. Scottie is having to sit in the corner because no one else can shoot. We see he is at his best playmaking with the ball at the top of the key going downhill.

I think if Siakam gets traded though, the idea is we’ll be worse for a couple years not instantly better, but we’ll be better in the future than the current direction we’re on. If anything it could take pressure off the team

Scottie is already the punching bag for so many fans and local media members

Scottie is a superstar. He will be fine.

I would love to keep Spicy P, but his wage demands would make it pretty difficult to do long term. I’m not saying you need a full rebuild if you can get decent assets from him you build around Scottie and OG and hope one of those assets turns into a all star level guard
