Siakam and OG have been in the news for trade talks for years. Now that Siakam is on the last year of his contract, and OG in his 2nd to last year looking for an extension soon, Masai has put himself in a hole just like he did with Kawhi Leonard, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Danny Green, Fred VanVleet.

Siakam is averaging less points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks from last year. He’s shooting 19% from 3. He’s having his worse season since 2018.

OG is averaging less points, rebounds, assists steals, and blocks from last year. He went from having 2.0 steals last year to 1.0 this year. This is also his worst year since 2018

Now they either have to pay Siakam a 200-300 mil contract, or sell him cheap to another team for a 3 month rental. They either have to max or near max OG, or sell him for less value than they could have a year or two ago

Masai has been the worst executive/GM since the raptors championship 5 years ago, and the Raptors are suffering in eastern conference purgatory because of him

    Blazers got raked over the coals for the “two timelines” thing so it will be interesting to see if Siakam actually gets traded or if they just let him walk.

    Dude stumbled upon a possible future superstar in Scottie and refused to build around him

    As a spurs fan, I am ready to throw 140M/4Y at Anunoby this summer even if it is an overpay. He’s a big diffence maker on defense especially team defense

    Yea it’s too bad the Raptors didn’t trade Kawhi and didn’t get something for him. Equally bad they didn’t get something for Gasol and Ibaka who were out the league a year later.

    LMAO!!!

    If not for the Bulls, Toronto would have to be the funniest team in the league.

    Siakam is also shooting horrifically from 3 so far. Gonna be a tough sell for a lot of teams because he is just brutal on the spacing with his current usage.

    Siakam did say he wants to re sign in toronto so honestly I feel like that is the most likely outcome. Who would trade for someone who doesn’t wanna re sign with them? Maybe it’s a tactic for more money but idk Masai in a pickle rn

    There’s no reason to think that Siakam & OG (who both have gotten better every season), would get even a little bit better and raise their value this season, especially after a guy (FVV) who took away a lot of touches was gone.

    I think he made the right move. Maybe a deal just wasn’t there
