How did so many teams miss the boat on Siakam?

So many teams missed out.

Warriors - Curry/Siakam/Dray/Klay

Kings - Fox/Siakam/Sabonis

Cavs - Mitchell/Garland/Siakam/Allen

The reason none of the options above happened is because of the financial impact of adding Siakam. So few teams were willing to take on that financial commitment with Siakam, that Indy could, because they only have to pay Hali next season. Impact of the new CBA at play.

Fair point.

Man if you combine shots on which he's fouled....Brunson is averaging more than 30 shot attempts per game lol.

OG is kinda always a little non-involved in the offense but even on the raptors....i don't remember it being to THIS degree. They don't even let him touch the ball in swinging the perimeter.

Is it possible OG is angry at this role? Given his comments while playing for the raptors.....he can't be happy about it. It would be hilarious if he demands out. It's not like he has a bad matchup with Tobias Harris.

Brunson is getting more ISOs than anyone else in playoffs. Including Luka. And by a considerable margin. They are really missing IQ and Barrett just to have other options that can create and dribble the ball. But maybe they're being a little restrictive on allowing players other than Brunson to touch the ball.

Not if they pay him max or close to it. He'll probably be fine playing that role on a top 3 team, that is a contender.

They're not even close to being a top 5 team imo.

Sorry, forgot to add top 3 contender in the East

And by contender, just the possibility of making the finals, and that is because the East is crap.

Clearly wouldn't be that in the West, and overall. That was the train of thought when I wrote it.

There’s outrage all over social media about Embiid’s dirty and reckless plays. We’ve experienced this first hand for years and know he’s a huge POS but now it’s under the spotlight of NYC. The dirty label will probably stick.

I like Jo Jo, but he's probably the dirtiest player in the league. Significantly worse than Draymond.

A 5:30 game on a Friday?

bucks are too slow/unathletic without giannas

The NBA is so smart. They realize immediately what value they have in the first round, and make sure they maximize viewership for each game.

The Dame move was out of desperation. I thought Giannis' next move would have been to demand a trade, but if his injury is really serious (possibly achilles), then is he just sitting for a year? Do the Bucks then try and move Dame? Maybe Dame ends up in Miami after all, and Herro returns home to Milwaukee.

Pacers are so dumb. Stop fouling the 3pt shooters while they're in the air ffs.

We need to trade Siakam for AJ Griffen before it's too late! - PhilBlackson

Dame so good

Every Raptor fan knew Siakam was missing that free throw lol

Should have fouled Lopez when he had it. Instead they let Middleton shoot the 3.
