I'm speaking strictly from the assumption that SGA wants to win and if he's the lead dog on a team with two other potential all stars in Chet and Jalen, meanwhile the only good thing we have going for us at that point is still Scottie, then why would he want to leave?
Do you really think the Raptors' roster in 2027 will look almost exactly the same as it currently is in 2024? That's just a really over-the-top negative assumption to make.
Is it? I assume we will be better and that Scottie, RJ, IQ, and Gradey will all improve in that time frame but given how this FO has historically operated, do you really think the FO banking on internal development over the next 3 seasons is out of the realm of possibility?
You're right though, I was thinking in the absolute worse case scenario where Dick is a glorified 3 point specialist and IQ and RJ make only marginal improvements. However, SGA could be looking at playing alongside two top 25 players in the league for the next decade in Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren.
If it's a matter of SGA wants to put himself in the best position to win, as presently constructed, I don't see how the answer isn't OKC. If it's a matter of SGA wanting to come home and represent the team he grew up rooting for in the place he calls home, then sure there's a great chance he'll sign with us.
