He's a good young talent but he hasn't shown that he can carry an offense. TO will have to be a team with a bunch of guys getting 14-18 points.

He hasn't shown it yet because he's making the leap from being a project to a max player. They're not paying the player he is now they're paying him for what they think he'll become. Now time to sit back and watch :cheers:

Scoring fancy buckets doesn't make you a better player. Being able to play very good on both ends of the floor, can make you a better player than the next guy, however.

Can Kyrie guard Siakam? The answer is no

This is true, and I've always believed most 'stat' guys who get max contracts (Westbrook, Melo, Arenas types) weren't remotely worth them.

But neither are role players tbh, even the best ones.

If you don't have one of the top 5 or so elite difference makers in the game, max contracts are pretty much just wasting too much cap space on one guy.

That's too much money for a guy who doesn't make a 15-20 win difference like a Lebron or a Durant or a regular-season-Curry.

I know he's being paid on potential, I just don't see him as being 20+ ppg scorer right now. I don't recall him ever being featured in the offense, but just talking contract, he was going to be one of the highest-regarded free agents so I get why he's being paid like that, but it may take a while for him to play at an All-Star level.

Wait...why not? He just put up 17ppg in the season after doing like 7 the year before and upped that to 19 across the playoffs where things ratchet up and teams are able to scheme to 20 in the finals against Draymond Green. He's entering a year where he'll be the focal point of the offense without Kawhi, I don't think an uptick of 3ppg is unreasonable given

A) the new opportunity and
B) the growth trajectory he's shown over the past 3 years.

He wasn't the "featured guy" because Kawhi was there so we'll see how he does being featured this year. Pretty sure he was at 20/game in those 23 games without Kawhi anyway, and I don't think it much of a stretch to say being an all-star this year is a realistic goal.

Lastly, keep in mind Otto Porter Jr. is getting $106, Wiggins $158 and Parsons $94. I'm sure there's many more, this isn't unreasonable in todays NBA for a guy with his potential and motor.

Neither hate nor love it. I feel like too many fans these days get caught up in the dollar amounts of these contracts. If he was making $5/mil a year less, what are the Raptors gonna get with that cap space? An Ed Davis or Danuel House at best.
I trust the Raptors Gm to be able to build a good team while paying Siakam 25% of the cap.

I just don't see him as a major scorer. The statistical improvement is good but does he consistently create offense? I know that Leonard was featured. There is a reason for that. Mainly had to fo with Leonard being great but may well also have to do with Siakam's skill set. I don't recall him creating offense.

He will certainly have the chance to do it now.

I guess I can understand why they did it because if they let it go to the 2020 FA Siakam would probably get a bunch of max offers with the FAs available. He's been healthy and he played out of his mind in some big Playoff moments so overall it's probably a good deal. How many athletic 6-9 wings do we have who play good-elite defense and who can also hit the 3?

This happens a lot, teams have to invest in something. KL left, so they invested in the guy who carried them a lot in the playoffs. Sure, he did it better because he wasn't a factor... and I dunno what he is gonna do with the defense on him, but he's proven he's got big balls and gives it everything he can. I think it's OK. There wasn't really another option. You don't let him walk.

This past season he scored over 6 pts per 36 minutes more than he did the previous season with far better efficiency. I see no reason why his progression should suddenly stop.

Given your past predictions Siakam is a virtual lock to make the AS game this season.

Other than true franchise level players, almost everyone in the league that gets a big contract or extension is overpaid.

Just the way it works...it is the cost of business because teams can't often afford to risk letting a player like this walk.


Especially Toronto. Not exactly a free agent hotbed.

Setting that aside i think he is being underrated. Remember that Kawhi missed 22 games but the Raps still had the 2nd best record in the league.

I was talking more from an overall level and I do think Lowry would have something to say about being that 2nd guy.

For example, Jason Terry won a title as the 2nd option, but I don't think...even after doing that...he should ever be labeled or thought of as a guy of that caliber...because he wasn't.

I know he put up really good numbers in the playoffs, but I think he has a lot of room to grow into an all-nba player...perhaps that is a better way to describe what I was getting at.

That’s a fair point and tbh I agree, but still I think technically they overpaid.

If they arent making the finals the next few years, it’s gonna be a disappointment.

Was Anthony Davis' contract bad? I can't remember when he was ever on a contender (before this year).

Listen you might not think it but a lot of people are high on him and his potential growth. Zach Lowe said today Siakam has a chance at All-Star, All-Defense and All-NBA this year. Sure that might be a bit of a stretch but he said it 100% seriousness with Wilbon and others sitting right there and not even blinking twice. It's not a bad deal at all.


No because it was always tradeable regardless.

If the Raptors underperform and decide to blow it up, nobody will want P’s contract. He’s not perceived as a ‘cornerstone’ like that. The Raptors just won a chip and they have to try to stay relevant post-Kawhi so they overpaid. Other teams wont take on that deal tho, especially if he doesnt have them contending. That’s the difference.

I get what you're saying but I wouldn't put it that way at all because of what Siakam brings across the board offensively and defensively. The pressure he puts on defense in transition and attacking the rim is immense and will only get better. Being a player who puts up 32 on 14-17 in your first finals game going up against Draymond Green is someone I'd feel comfortable being a clear second option moving forward on a championship level team for the reason you stated - he still has a lot of room to grow.

A guy whose improved this much with the athleticism, skill-set and motor that he has makes it hard to know what exactly his cieling is. This will be an interesting year to see how he grows. Clearly it's a lot to expect another insane jump for him but what does that next step look like? We'll see

a) It's 2019 - cornerstone players don't make $130 over 4 years.
b) Players like Bradley Beal will be making 250mil in 2 years, in no way will Siakam at 130 be a contract nobody wants unless he completely falls off a cliff and doens't progress at all. Do you forsee that?

Well, I don't think he needs an insane jump. I think often fans confuse that. I think what he needs is probably some improved consistency, but not really improving aspects of his game much...although that will come.

I'm simply saying that I'd like to see him put in a full year or more as a clear 2nd option and solidify himself as an all-nba player before we crown him that level of a player.

Do you recall his attempt to dribble in front of Lonzo Ball? It's just not part of his skill set and if he's to be a featured offensive player that's an issue. He's not going to dominate on post ups and is not a big long range threat. He can finish and shoots decently but needs the ability to dribble to be a reliable go-to guy. Or else he'll be out there just getting effort baskets, a good contribution but not something you can rely upon.

That play was hideous but it has less to do with his lack of handle but more of his issues in forcing the situation which is quite common. Facing up and taking bigs and wings off the dribble through the use of his handle or ability to blow by is a big part of his game. He was also the tertiary ball handler last year and would run the offense from the jump which would be impossible for a player that cannot handle the ball as you're making him seem. I'm not going to condescend you and suggest you have no idea what you're talking about but clearly you don't watch Raptor games enough. Spare me with that shit about counting players since I only have Blake, Millsap and Giannis as players in his position who have better handles than him. He's at the very least has good handles for a power forward. By all means, add to the list so I can see where your head is at. Of course he's not Kevin Durant out there but he doesn't need to be nor is his handle some major hurdle that will stop him from being a star which he clearly is going to be this year and should have been last year over Lowry.

How many players have become good dribbles after the age of 26?

Well I was responding to what you said - which is this


He brings great energy but his ballhandling needs major work and most likely won't be improving. Excellent roleplayer.

You said his ball handling likely won't be improving, I didn't understand why.

How many guys became good dribblers at 26? How many started playing basketball at 18 and went from as raw as he was in his rookie year to someone who can put the ball on the floor well enough to score the series clinching basket in the NBA Finals against the self-proclaimed best defender ever?

The whole reason they gave him the contract is because he's not a typical 26 year old, he's actually not even 26 for that matter, he's 25. So he started playing 7 years ago. I think it's asinine for somebody with basketball knoweldge to say he is a roll player and someone who likely won't improve given the reasons I went over in both this post and my last. Again I don't need to defend over defend that just stating my opinion and obviously you have yours. I'm under the impression that the Massai Ujiri is not taking the approach you seemed to be (w/ seemingly limited information).

I don't know how Ujiri views his potential as a scorer going forward but again, for the record, I don't disagree with the signing. If I was Ujiri I'd have done the same thing. As an all-around player he's fantastic. I just don't see him as a go-to scorer. I don't believe in his ability to create as the star and again, I doubt his ball handling. I did see the two vids posted, some of the moves were nice but it's a highlight vid. I can post a highlight reel that would make Antoine Walker look like a great shooter. Doesn't mean he was. I would never say he isn't talented but he's at an age where we rarely see major growth in a player's game. I get that you think he'll be the exception, and maybe he will, I'm not completely against this guy I just don't see him becoming a great scorer. Regardless we'll see how his season and career goes.

He is worth the contract tho, played decent during last years playoffs and final. It is just his lack of experience in the post season I think, he is early in his career still.

He has been a negative BPM in playoffs every year of his career, besides the 1 year he played with GOAT Kawhi.

Kawhi got this guy paid. Siakam should be worshipping the ground that Kawhi walks, let Kawhi sleep with his girl and so on.

This guy ain't no damn Pippen, that's for sure.

And in the documentary last dance, there was a scene when Jordan was mocking Ewing to his face for always losing to him. Jordan should of told him "I can go play baseball for a year and you still will not win shit, even Pippen will take you to 7". And what was Ewing's TS in 1994 finals? Lol.

Let the big boys like Jordan/LeBron fans handle responding to me. You Ewing fans need to stick to responding to fans of players like Alonzo Mourning.
