Pascal Siakam to Philly? ๐ Perk suggests 76ers add a third star to Embiid & Maxey | NBA Today
Well let’s set the Knicks aside just for right now this was the first trade since James Harden was delt to LA and that was two months ago so now that another big piece is off the board what’s coming next I think watching Pascal cakam in Toronto and I think initially what
You’re seeing the Raptors try to do is put a team around Scotty Barnes at 22 years old that fits him age-wise cakam is going to be 30 before the end of this season uh he has started to really play very well again uh he’s got value around
The league but he’s also going to be a free agent and I think if you’re Toronto if you not going to resign him you can’t let him walk uh like Fred Van vet walked certainly like they lost a kawhai Leonard that was a different situation that was the one-year rental they won a
Title uh but I think for cakam there’s some leverage in that if a team’s going to trade for him they want to know that they can resign him that he’ll want to be here and that’s going to uh dictate how much they might offer Toronto in a
Deal but I do think there’s a window here where the Raptors get to see what seak looks like with RJ Barrett with Emanuel quickly and this group with the Raptors but certainly I think that’s going to be a player here we’re going to watch uh over the next month so knowing
That the Raptors are still sort of evaluating the situation perk where would you like to see Pascal seak play in Philly in Philly and you know what’s crazy is this let me adjust myself and get Sil here we go when you think about what Philly has been doing right think about the pieces
Right you you look at Kelly U DeAnthony Melton those guys they’ve been balling they have draft picks okay so I’m looking at Tyrese Maxi and Joel embid and what I’m looking I’m looking at a team that’s missing a third star yes Tobias Harris has been you know playing
Some good basketball but can he really be that guy to get you over the hump is he better than Pascal seak my answer is hell no he’s not so we know what Pascal seum could do in a Nick Nurf system that’s helped them bring a championship
They did it together so when I think about the Philadelphia 76s and I think about adding that piece yeah to the duo of Joel and beid and tyres Maxi send him to Philly I love Pascal in the 76ers univ well as we evaluate the Eastern Conference we’re talking about the
Celtics we’re looking the Milwaukee Bucks it feels like Philly is right there what were you doing earlier knock knock knocking on that door do they need another piece in order to burst through [Applause] It is

Nah donโt want Siakam in Philly
Dallas would love him ๐
siakam next to embiid is a terrible idea.
Raptors clearly donโt want picks they want young players that fit around Scottie, Philly would be cool but they donโt have any players to offer, compared to other teams, Siakam would go crazy with an elite PG like Shai, Luka, Hali, Fox, Curry
Can't believe the media, especially ESPN, they ain't trying to find a way for him to join LeFraud. This is actually surprising. It won't be long until they try to find LeFraud some more help ๐๐
Lauri Markkanen is a better fit to this team or Evan Mobley.
Send him to the rockets for Jalen green we don't need him anymore
Pascal is not better than Tobias offensively but defensively he has an edge
Indiana, Dallas, or Golden State are the teams that actually need someone like him.
Siakam slows down the offense… he dribbles with the back to the basket a lot… you have Embid already. You need a killer from the outside. You want to upgrade Tobias? Fine. But you need a player in the same mold. catch and shoot. Killer 3 point shooter. Siakam needs to ball too much and his a volume shooter. Not what they need.
RAPTORS ARE GOIN TO SIGN SIAKAM FOR 2 YRS STOP WITH ALL RUMORS
Extend Siakam these trade rumors so far have been trash…
They should stick to this team rn i like the barrett barnes nd siakam team
Philly would much rather have Gary Trent Jr. than Pascal. Cheaper option, defends the perimeter, runs the break, doesnโt demand the ball nor turn it over and he actually can shoot it.
Philly does not have the assets to trade for siakam lol
Siakam needs a PG thatโll dime him up. Best spots are Indiana, Atl and even Dallas
