The Pacers at the time of the Siakam trade were in a much better situation cap wise and team wise than the Raptors at the time of the Poeltl trade. There is no argument to be had here.
And I am saying they really aren't. They are going to have $100M locked into like 2 guys 2 months from now. Their "good cap situation" isn't going to be able to be used for anything, so it really does not matter.
Just like at the time of the Poeltl trade if we retained FVV we would have been completely capped out. That is where IND is heading this summer or next.
No rational person would bet on any individual pick that the Raptors acquired in the Siakam trade to be worth more than the pick they gave up for Poeltl.
Well good thing that we did not only get 1 asset back for Siakam but rather a package
The funniest thing is - there is still a chance we keep our pick this year and end up conveying a later pick in 2025. If that were to happen, I wonder how much goalpost shifting will happen then.
