The Siakam disrespect on this sub in the weeks before his trade was tragic. Would have been amazing to keep him, shame it didnāt fit the teams timeline/goals.
That’s what happens when Pascal does everything to tank his value ahead of the trade deadline. Guy had no love left for the team before the season started.
everyone knows the FO messed up by not selling the previous year. but we couldn’t keep him because it would just extend the middling raptors era. had to rip the band-aid for an actual rebuild when Scottie is still 22.
Someone who time and again reiterated that he wanted to stay š
Remember when Masai used to fleece everybody and now heās the one losing the majority of his trades. Iāll give him credit for the OG trade though. That was a win.
People here talked so much shit on him, it’s fitting our return for him was pretty trash. At least he’s finally gaining respect around the league.
Good. Raptors fans deserve it. We need to do better.
To guys who have cap knowledge, was keeping and re-signing Siakam , then maybe trading him in the future, that bad of a crunch?
I still have no idea how you couldn’t make it work with OG and Pascal and build a contender… weirdest firesale I have ever seen in the NBA
It was an expiring contract. Still maybe not a great deal but you guys seem to think we could have gotten another star player or something and that’s just not true.
This sub has no respect to Masai.
Still can’t believe we couldn’t get walker in return
We needed to move on. Indiana is better positioned to make use of Siakam than the Raptors were.
We got the best available deal for a guy this sub spent most of its time doing a bang up job of creating negative sentiment about. Both in here and everywhere else they could. The disrespect about his game was endless.
Pascals stance on resigning was the same last year as it was when he was traded. So add that to the pile of reasons we got what we got. He effectively tanked it behind the scenes because he didnāt want to leave.
Finally a real talent evaluator would have seen what some of you are suddenly jerking off too now and done everything they could to keep him and make it work.
Since the title this sub has been overrun with insufferable know-it-alls, who belong in r/leapordsayemtface.
Thatās MY take away.
He was THE veteran on the team, instead this sub and the CrapTors organization thought that Temple and Thad were these wise man who would pass down their knowledge onto the CrapTors babies. But what should have happened was to let both Temple and Thad walk, sign Pascal, and firmly state that he is THE guy on the team and if anyone wants the Crown, then they will have to work for it and not get it handed to them and then be encouraged to act like a leader for nearly an entire freaking year. And the jury is still out on whether e will be a leader.
Glad all the ex champs are finding success outside of what was a pretty darn good Raptors team.
How Masai didnāt get 1 of the young pacers bigs that are just sitting around collecting dust weāll never know. Seriously tho this trade was and is crap idc about 35 year old Kelly and garbage o hai.
Good for Pascal, but I also want him to continue the Doc Rivers slander for a few years longer this series
Poor Bruce brown. He went from a chip to a lowly raptor team
It was the biggest joke of all. At least Scottie got his star minutesā¦NOT.
That’s why Will Lou (we miss you already!) was pissed!
THE NEXT CONTRACT IS WHY HE AND OG WERE TRADED.
So letās see what their next contracts are and see if weād want that on our books before we complain?
Just a thought.
Blame Masai. He made the trade. People who blame the fans and go on about how we ādisrespected Siakamā are being idiots. We donāt control what happens.
What was the pt in keeping him? We’d be no different than Chicago? If the plan is to win, this team needed a timeline reset.
worst trade of all time… who’s holding FO accountable? He’s clearly better than Jerami Grant, so we couldve traded Siakam after signing him
Still better than the FVV return ššš
He wasnāt working with what the Raptors had and/or how the raptors played him. Just because someoneās putting up numbers somewhere else doesnāt mean theyād do the same in a different situation. With Tyrese not 100% he seems to be the #1 option for the Pacers, with the Raptors there are like 4 other dudes (BBQ and Dick) who are also going to need touches to either develop or to play effectively.
He had to be traded, and get a grip, its the 1st round and the Bucks are missing their best player who would be guarding him and putting him in his pocket
