You're obviously not that high on Ayton if you would trade him and 3 unprotected 1sts for Siakam. The guy isn't even an all star. I like the guy but he has become a bit overrated now arounnd here after becoming underrated again. As I've mentioned he puts up nice stat lines across the board (pts/ast/reb) but he can't shoot the 3 and has become a negative on D.
Wait... are you trolling Bdub? Are you actually saying Siakam isn't worth that much? I thought you were just saying how the guy is averaging like 27/8/7 and only like 3 guys in the league are averaging that or something.
I will agree though that I don't believe Siakam is worth that much. And if he isn't traded or asks to be traded from the Raptors while the Raptors trade OG Anunoby, FVV, and GTJ it indicates to me that he just wants to statpad and get that supermax contract. I have cooled off on Siakam after watching some games from him. I also wouldn't trade Ayton for Anunoby for what it is worth because Ayton can stay healthy and that is tough for centers it seems. I think Anunoby does end up getting traded though. Dark horse candidate would be the Blazers, but most likely Pelicans or Grizzlies if I had to take a guess.
I said only 3 guys put up those #s, but I also have mentioned he is a negative on D and cannot shoot the 3 anymore.
And I have NEVER said I would give up 3 unprotected firsts. I honestly don't think Siakam is even that much better than Bridges. I think Bridges is a nice secondary ball handler to Book after CP3 is gone.
I think I view unprotected picks, or picks in general more than most, especially since we have ZERO guys in development/on cheap rookie contracts and a very high payroll.
