Trying to start up some dry drama drag- for what? Views? People pitting SB against PS need to go get a life… go root for the Pistons and leave the Raps alone…word up!!
Hi Jacob! I’ve had a rough week and watching your videos has helped me get through the week. Btw can you shout me out? Can’t wait to see you eat pickle poutine tomorrow on the stream. I’ll be the first one on there. Hope you have a good rest of your day! ❤
I cant stand this dude. Always so negative…go somewhere else…your terrible for this
Do you think the Raptors will be able to maximize Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam's talent long term?
Trade Pascal and build around Scottie
I think you are right with your take, but oh how I were wrong….because Pascal is Spicy!
Agree 100%. I’d build this team around Scottie and OG, who we’ll have to sign for around 40 million if we want to keep him in the summer. I’d trade Siakam for some young shooters and/or draft picks.
Keep em both 🎉
I couldn't agree with u more the reality is its gonna be incredibly difficult to utilize both to the best of their strengths consistently on this team the way its constructed trading siakam is the best option at this point and if a solid deal ideally of floor spacing and/or young pieces comes on the table u absolutely pull the trigger.
Not co-exist need to Thrive! I don’t like PS or Zach L contracts but if teams will pay both even though PS is better in def. Zach adds to our team’s diversity of talent. If you need him to go in 4th Zach can give you space and iso where PS not so much vs longer teams.
I would do a Bulls, OKC, Raps trade if we could convince all teams it would make them all better short / long or both timelines.
The raptors main issue is the poor roster construction around Scottie, Pascal and OG. These three wings Scottie, Pascal and OG are so dynamic, other teams are begging the raptors to trade one of them. Fix the supporting cast and get some more shooting/guard play.
the way PS is playing, it's safe to say, no way in hell he makes All-NBA, not even All-Star if you ask me.
with that said, I wonder if he still wants to stay if he's not eligible for super-max…
I keep seeing this conversation everywhere and don’t get me wrong, im fine with trading siakam for scotties development.
But answer yourself this. Is he ready? Like we’ve seen scottie show signs of super star IN THE 4TH.
With Siakam gone, will he do that for all quarters, all season long?
I see them both able to play on the same team. As I said before, Pascal needed to enter the post more… and he has been more active in the post. And he is the scoring engine of the team, and plays well with his frontcourt pairing with Jak. Barnes and OG work best on perimeter D and scoring the three and bully ball off the high posts. Both are great in transition. Barnes is a Pt-Fwd and Pascal is a PW. The KEY is that the rest of the team is able to hit shots and space. OG is able. Gary has been better. Dennis has been fine. If Precious, McDaniels can hit shots it works. If Flynn could EVER start to hit, it all works really well. If Dick were to come back and hit shots (next year) it's all good. This Raptors team can't shoot well, but it's easy work in the games where the team has. Lots of growth coming. The training of Barnes is just getting going. My issue is the weakest link in the chain, and it's Flynn. Can he ever really play well in the NBA? The best solution is to sign another guard and say by to Flynn.
How many times people gonna ask this question?
The answer to if they can coexist simply is no. We need to trade pascal while he holds any value to improve floor spacing and run the offense coach darko is known for.
blah blah..bottom line is you cant afford Pascal and OG and Barnes. Pascal has to go
At this point I just want them to do something to take a step forward to a small rebuild. But yeah I've been thinking Scottie has to be in the forefront. Good work as usual homie 👍
Well said👍
Amateur hour is fucking right 🤡🤫🥶
