Yep, Jak trade was needed. This team is plenty talented but had glaring positional holes. It looked better to buy into the Siakam timeline than the Scottie one given what we knew last year.

In having Kawhi/Danny/Serge/Gasol walk (not the problem), we effectively let a 5th, 8th, 8th, 9th, 20th and 25th pick walk because of where those trade pieces were drafted at. It was never going to be clean
