I think they were probably hoping Barnes' shot would develop and that Siakam wouldn't keep getting worse from distance. If either of them could shoot they could probably play together.
Let's say it's Siakam who gets dealt. Are there any particular trade targets you think they should be going for?
NBA is so tough because of the cap. Pacers, Hawks and Kings are rumoured to be interested. I would take a package around Hield from the Pacers. I don't pay much attention to the Hawks so no idea. And how about something centered around Murray and Monk from the Kings. Not sure kings want to do that but that's the guys I like.

Hield, maybe. Murray and Monk, I don't think you have enough to offer. Sacramento loves their team.

Hield would be a nice fresh look and great addition to upgrade Raptors' shooting. Siakam would work well with Pacers too, as any additional defense is better than the current nonexistent defense; and Siakam plays decent defense. He would fit well in playing front of Haliburton, giving him an additional option on top of Turner. Win win for both teams IMO.
Agree that Murray and Monk with Kings is a big maybe. Murray I still see it, but don't think Kings want to give up Monk. He's their clutch time scorer. Clutch players are hard to get, valuable, and teams don't tend to give them up easily.

I would expect they would have to give up more than just Siakam to get Murray and Monk.

Probably mix in Treant Jr, Auchiuwa, and some picks. But I still like the Pacers trade better, and its seems more likely. But who knows, maybe they go crazy and trade Siakam to the Warriors for Klay or something.

Raptors blow a 17 point lead and get outscored 41-21 in the 4th. Make it stop!
