Hard to say because OG been in and out the lineup so much. I remember that playoff game against the Cavs where he was clutch in the 4th and thought to myself damn he got the juice ..

But Pascal been stringing together a decent campaign so far so I'm torn

 

[Guess Who]

Siakam may get in the MIP running if he keeps it up

I predicted it in preseason

OG is an incredible defender, like DPOY potential, makes great cuts and can hit the three. However, he isn’t able to create for himself.

Pascal runs the floor really well, can apparently rebound, is really good at making the hockey assist but is average on D and can’t make jumpers with any consistency.

I think it sort of depends on need. But Siakim has been great in the last three games and is progressing quickly. Yet OG has a penchant for big plays and imo is a top wing defender in the league...it’s hard to choose.

We need to see Pascal making jumpers or Anunoby to start driving the ball cuz both are flawed players with potential which is why you cant choose....

Would any of you trade high on Siakam or OG? And if you had to choose which one?

Every other team's scouts seem to be really high on Pascal. Probably enough to outbid us if he ever hit the market.

Or why don't we just keep them both for the future and do something with the bench instead?

I just wonder how the bench can be bolstered at this point in time. We don’t have many tradeable assets.

I would not trade Pascal at all. He is untouchable in my book.

Also would not trade OG unless good lotto picks where involved. Pascal and OG are nice cornerstone pieces for if Kawhi leaves and we going tanking. If Kawhi reups, shyt anything is on the table to get a ship.

Talk to me about this rebuilding?

IF Kawhi doesnt re-up you still have a great bench with some great pieces and Lowry,why do you have to rebuild ?

You will have cap money to use why not go out and try to land another piece like a Jimmy Butler and try again next year ?

Then after 2020 when Lowrys contract is up you will have another max slot to offer someone and you could bring in another piece to put beside Jimmy and hopefully by that time OG and Siakam has evolved into bonafied front line players.

I do not understand this talk of rebuilding because of Kawhi...I fully believe Masai has a plan B next summer just in case...This is why i laugh off when ppl say hes leaving hes leaving cuz i honestly dont give a fukk our real MVP is Ujiri...and being able to land Kawhi to get us to the finals gives us credit around the league...

Kawhi is great but i think we can still be great without him...

 

[MikelArteta]

I wouldn't trade og or siakam unless you're getting back like a Jimmy Butler who signs right away

og, siakam and van vleet are not tradeable to me

 

[MikelArteta]

its funny how pundits are reemmebr how kawhi may not eve report.
kawhi hates cold weather even though he ws in nyc most of last year

kawhi bought a house in toronto and attends all team functions and gatherings like the casa loma outing
