I think the comparisons between Pascal and DeMar are interesting. Both great players with some obvious flaws - not at the level of being able to lead your team to a championship but certainly could be a third-best player, and Siakam already proved that.
Both players (completely fairly) were big points of pain for the fanbase for failing to come up clutch when the team needed them most, repeatedly.
That said, I think similar to DeMar, fans are going to be incredibly sad once he leaves (if he leaves). Or at least they SHOULD be. He’s homegrown. Worked his way up from nothing. Loves the city even if he’s quiet about it.
Pascal is top 10 in franchise history across every measure: minutes players, points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, win share. He is an all-time Raptor.
Obviously he’s not a perfect player but let’s not take our guys for granted and only appreciate what we had after they’re gone.

I don’t want another Demar. Too many fans glorify the Trash Bros era.
