Official Scottie Barnes Thread

HE STAY.

This fanbase is so insecure.

Scottie could be depending on his development the biggest sports star in the country. He has the personality and marketability thst advertisers drool over. Basically he could be a god up here. Plus I doubt many players are going to turn down a Supermax.

HE STAY.

The sooner the Raptors get rid of ISO ballhog Siakam who is going want to be the man even next season the better. Raptors need to make this Scottie's team and Siakam cried all summer about being the man, he is not going to be a choker's robin., trade Siakam and build around Scottie/OG/Trent keeping Fred around as the vet.

Who the fk is this clown Yonis radar? STFU already and to see his post multiple times. Scottie going nowhere with Masai around, first thing Masai dose is fix the Siakam issue of him needing to be the guy. Sorry Siakam but Scottie the man and everyone knows your not a true #1 option. We also know you expect to have at least 20 plus attempts a night because you think you're the guy.

Anyone dreaming this was going to work after Siakam cried about being the man does not understand sports. Fred is the PG and he is going tp always look for his good buddy Siakam first when he is not jacking shots himself. May not be a huge problem this season but it cannot happen next season or Scottie's camp will start complaining. I think OG and Trent would be great complementary players to Scottie with Fred and a more dominant defensive center.

To be clear I like SIAKAM and think he is a good player, I just cannot see him willing to defer to Scottie , sure when he gets doubled or runs out of options but he will not accept the team running offence through Scottie. Plays that we saw Scottie running in that Nets game against KD have to be run way more often and that is not going happen with Fred & Siakam so you trade Siakam and his ego away

I see him a lot in the first quarter and the first half. Second half? Meh.

If your speaking about Siakam, I have seen him play and we have a losing record when he plays, so his stats are empty and he effects team chemistry

11 points to 8 points. Fred takes over at the end. Big deal. You don't see it, you read it and accept it as fact.

We have a losing record overall. As for them being just empty, that's entirely dumb.

The team is 6-11 with Siakam starting with two of those wins against the mighty Kings. People need to decide who they want to see as the top option Scottie or Siakam , because it's a pipe dream if you think Siakam is not going to have another hissy fit when his usage and attempts go down. We have a winning record with OG and Scottie starting

So genius , who comes off the bench when Nurse decides he needs to start a 5? Sooner or later the team will need to fix the overlap problem.

The ball sticks with Siakam. His reads are slightly slow but enough to not make the defense crack. Siakam is best as a 3rd option slasher. He's needs to get back to focusing on rebounding, steals, blocks and rim-running. Optimally averaging 19-20ppg on better shooting efficiency.

Siakam should get benched but then again nobody can afford benching a 35 million player. I assume he gets traded next offseason. Siakam is a below average shooter, so it's really a poor fit all around.

True. The problem is that the Raps have spent 2 seasons convincing him to iso more and lead the offense and be the 1st option. Not sure how they go about changing their messaging and for a rookie no less. I still think Siakam will need to be traded so that OG/Scottie can get a decent fit around them (an actual C and SG)

It amazes me Siakam fanboys coming to defend him at this point with his empty stats. We're 6-11 with Siakam starting so I don't know how people can confuse that with great Scottie chemistry. With OG and Scottie we have a winning record, the team shares the ball more and even beat the Celtics in Boston which almost never happens. In 3 games against the Celtics this season were 1-2, two losses came with Siakam starting. I think Scottie will be ready at the start of next season to take on a bigger role and more attempts, how is that going to happen with MR I am the man Siakam on this team?

It’s official, according to the experts on RealGM we were a better team without Kawhi in 2018-2019 and a better team without Kyle in 2019-20.

The Grizzlies are 10-2 without Ja but no one in their right mind would think they are better off in the long-term without him.

Imagine using a sample size of 17 games to assess a player’s impact on the team?

Exactly! OG and Scottie make a great wing duo and OG has one of the most team friendly contracts in the NBA. Siakam will be 28 this season, he already cried this summer about being the man. Not sure how anyone expects Scottie to move forward with Siakam on this team

Scottie in 2022 is going to be fire!

I think he needs to be traded because I cannot see him accepting a lesser role, one that make more sense to the team but not to him

Once the Raps draft a legit #1 scorer and/or Scottie Barnes does evolve into that guy, yeah...

We already know they ain't the ones, but merely the placeholders for this season at minimum. Patience, young grasshoppers.

You don't get it do you, were talking about next season and Scottie taking on a bigger role. Many people do not see Siakam willing to accept a lesser role. When Leonard arrived, Kyle accepted that Leonard was the dog and needed to eat.
