Pascal Siakam: "Toronto.. thank you for everything" - Player's Tribune

[ash_k]

I wonder how many would prefer a current team of:
Dame + Siakam + OG + Jak

With a good coach 55 wins at the least, easy

Giannis + Dame is on pace for 52 wins this season, but you're telling me Siakam + Dame would win 55?

Hell, Siakam joined a better PG than Dame in Indy and they haven't exactly lit the world on fire.

Emphasis on good coach.
It is not like Pascal as the second option has not been part of a 58-win team and he was not even an All-Star/All-NBA back then remember? Then 50+wins his first year as the number 1 option then another 48-win despite missing 10+ games remember?
That PnR Lillard |Jak would have been deadly...then DPOY-Elect(before his elbow) OG shutting down folks.
Again, emphasis on good coach.

Hard to field a good defence with Dame, though. Maybe Nurse coulda done it. Who knows.

There would have been a lot of length and mobility behind him in Yak, OG(DPOY-elect) and Pascal (+ a 3D defender as SG)...oh well, one can always dream
