I still think Kawhi’s departure left a big vacuum in the team. Siakam is decent and took over the team, he even performed pretty well during the regular season, but he’s not good enough to drive the bus. Especially in post season play, where you clearly see him struggle under pressure when the Raptors did make the playoffs. Also, it’s really hard to win in this league without a tier 1 star, so the Raptor will either have to trade for such star or draft and train one up.
Now that Nurse got fired, VanVleet is leaving, and trade rumors are surrounding Siakam, I think it’s a good time to rebuild the team and try something new.
In terms of a possible Siakam trades, I think Atlanta is in hot pursuit? And I think Indiana also wants him? Not much thought on possible trades. I guess we will know when we know…
Totally agree. Last season was filled with so many games where they had 5, 7, 10 point leads in the last 2-5 minutes and just completely wilted. They had no true superstar to take over the game and close it out like they did with Kawhi. I really like Pascal, but it is probably time to move on and at least re-tool.
I heard Atlanta, Indiana and Orlando were the top suitors so far. I suppose we will see what happens.
