Raptors declined PG and Westbrook for Siakum...WTF

[Wally450]

Taking WB is a huge commitment, he will be making $47 million in 22-23... the Raps would be capped out and in luxury tax hell for years taking on that contract. They would also have to give up Lowry/Gasol/Ibaka in the deal to make it work cuz they are over cap and Siakam has a small contract.

I just don't see how it would work in a reasonable way... maybe Siakam and some first round picks for PG like the Clipps gave up, but it's highly unlikely any team is going to trade for WB and his albatross contract.

That absurd for someone like him.

pg and westbrook were perennial first round exits together.. a proven losing formula.

westbrook in general craters teamwork. id much rather build slow with a young siakam than have a treadmill westbrick led squad.

Absolutely.

It is too bad that the Thunder couldn't ever get the shooting around Russ/George that would have made them really dangerous. Sucks...because they weren't that far off from being a conference finals or better type team.

Just adding Bazemore instead of Schroder would have helped a lot.

But, that is all in the past now.

This package for George was enormous and you have to take it immediately regardless of the future plans. Shai is going to be awesome...and they just got 5 extra picks. It is a better package than the Pels got for Davis given Ball/Ingram struggles and the fact that they are about to get paid.
