I know Masai is being really picky with OG but teams simply arent offering enough for Siakam. He is is worth way more than pretty much every offer I have seen floating around.

Knowing how hard it is to entice good players to come to Toronto it is going to feel really bad giving up Siakam without getting a number 1 in return.

God damn it Masai is a genius

I wanted Gradey on the jazz

Not sure about Masai but Peter Feigin is sure running the Bucks into the ground

winning 1 Championship and extending Giannis deeper into his prime is already more success than the vast majority of fans/analysts could ever dream of happening in Milwaukee

Masai got the title in Toronto, Kawhi left immediately even tho they were willing to give him absolutely everything

having Giannis will always put Milwaukee a significant step forward ahead of Toronto because they don't have a real cornerstone. maybe Barnes could be, but I think his ceiling is OG personally

Raps in danger of OG and Spicy P leaving for nothing, could get real ugly for the Raps summer of 2024

Pascal refuses to re sign with teams post the this year because he wants to stay in Toronto.

I think Pascal can be a lifer in Toronto. The First one. Our Lifer.

OG is fine Masai can keep him as an integral part of the team and dangle him in front of everyone at trade deadline again just for funzies

Everyones mind is poisoned thinking Hinky style tanking is the only way to go but that cannot be further from the truth. The Process Failed. Stop thinking teams need to drop all assets and tank for picks or else they are in 'danger'

Maybe our new coach thinks Pascal and OG are a key piece of the puzzle and everybody is much happier in the locker room with the new coach. It could be that simple.

Either that or we getting Dame in a few days

something like that

I don’t know which team has added less talent and lost more contract negotiations and trades in the past 5 years. This isn't calling for a complete tear down. It is expecting that assets be flipped for something tangible instead of coming up empty handed.

Oh come on we still finished 9th seed bro like relax yourself about how much talent has rescinded since 2019.

Bulls have added an entire Mid level team worth of talent and still finished with a worse record than the Raps.

Toronto hasnt been at the front page of trade news no but we did score Poeltl last year and resigned him already.. Thats a win. We will have a full year with an actual 5 for the first time in a while.

What if Masai is giga braining the situation and has some understanding that Pascal wants to stay in Toronto beyond next year (clues being that he doesnt want to commit to signing if traded from Raps)? He already has Poeltl ligned up (Pascals best IRL friend). WE have Scotty in his third year. We have this Dick kid who could be a rocket about to explode.. and we got OG to slot into the 3 position

Poeltl Siakam OG GTJ Scotty is an entertaining product that can at least go .500.... and we are ALREADY on the trajectory with Scotty Dick Precious Boucher. That sounds like a blast and lots to look forward to for me. plus we dont have to tank and go .300 for two seasons in between

Not to mention we just signed Schroeder who is solid. Schroeder can help Scotty develop his PG skills. I think Scotty is the starting PG with Schroeder backing him up off the bench.

Lowkey the more I think about it the more I actually like Toronto's situation.
