It’s obvious the want is there to move on but it just depends on the return.

I don’t see how this is what indicates that, scottie and pascal fit quite well with each other.
Scotties numbers are consistently better with Pascal on the floor.
They’ll probably trade him anyways, but it won’t really be about his specific fit with scottie.

It is interesting how he mentioned scottie and not pascal. And at this point of their careers, pascal has a lot more accolades and pedigree than scottie. To me it is a subtle hint as to where masai’s head is at.

Thank god we have Masai and not OP as a GM. Wanting Immanuel because he’s a good fit for Scottie is no indication that Siakam is out..
Be smarter.

I’ve been really excited to move on to the next chapter, but the closer it gets, the more I realize how upsetting it’s gonna be.
Pascal gave everything he had and this is essentially closing any era we’ve had. Boucher is still here I guess :’)
P will definitely go down as one my favorite Raptors ever. What a ride it’s been.

This is like the Siakam smile and Scottie height posts

I mean, it’s pretty universally agreed that it’s Scottie’s team moving forward. Pascal is heading into his 30s and can never be a #1 option, so they’re not going to build around him.

‘Winning, then some more winning…and then we give Scottie the bag’. – Masai.

We know that the front office is at least listening to calls on Siakam on. You don’t sell an incoming player on someone you’re listening to calls on, so the fact that Siakam isn’t hyped up in a first phonecall to Quickley seems pretty obvious, and doesn’t signal anything we didn’t already know.
Will a team meet Masai’s likely very steep asking price? That’s what we don’t know, and this doesn’t hint to that one way or another.

Am I crazy for thinking Pascal and Scottie aren’t terrible together? Like Pascal can drop 30 playing with the dude, how’s that a bad fit?

We just need a slightly better starting center and a reliable back up center and we’re back to being a top 5 team.

The front office is doing dirty the one player who actually wants to stay.

I don’t get why everyone wants him traded so badly. He’s our top scorer almost every game and pretty damn consistent. I get he has like 3 go-to moves, but he does them damn well. I would want to see a really good return for him if we do plan to move him.

At this point it’s 3 parties that have to agree- Raptors, X team, and Pascals team.
Masai isn’t gonna settle which is great and Pascal definitely won’t go somewhere he doesn’t want to be. Because of that, this may go on another year.

I don’t see the essin to trade Siakim. This team is 3x better, having 2 functional PG and adding a 4% 3 guy.
I’m ready to trade for an asset
Or Siakim for a banger now. I don’t care about the draft unless your top 10

And then there were none …..
What a great epi of Open Gym tho

Spicy P brought us a title, I hope they retire his jersey with us in the future

Well another confirmation of the team direction. Build around Scottie. He is the future of the franchise and probably means Siakam is getting traded to a destination that he’d probably re-sign in.

Pascal might still be be better than both iq and Barnes in 3 years 😂

I don’t think it means that at all. Pascal also fits Scotti super well and they’ve been palying crazy well together for the last month. Siakam is only gone if it makes sense for the team. Masai isn’t stupid.
Rakkuuuu
I’m here for it. Love Siakam but I’m okay with him gone so long as we get back what he’s worth. If not then if he can fit a reduced role that suits everyone better.

could also just be that Iq and Scottie are similar age and will hopefully be around for a long time

Scottie is the Nomi to Pascal’s Crystal 🙁

This move was and is insignificant.

Rocking the flip 3 lol upgrade homie

This is the dumbest assumption ever. Honestly. If Pascal wants to stay he’s more than welcome to stay. He’s the one turning down the extension. He’s going to evaluate his options and the situation here for him. I’m sure if he tells them he wants to stay he’ll stay.
