    Capela for Siakam. Just for his d on Donkey.

    The Raptors are much better than most in this thread gave them credit for. They match up well with the Warriors, have a top 5 player in Kawhi, and have home-court advantage in the Finals. Does it mean they will win the series? No. But it will be very competitive. They are a much tougher matchup for Golden State than LeBron’s Cavs.

    Siakam is going to win the Most Improved Player Award this year. But, yes, Morey needs to move Capela for a long, athletic player that can play in the Tuckwagon lineup against Golden State.

    Too bad Siakam isn't in a contract year.

    Many teams would be offering him the max. And deservedly so, with his great play all season.

    yeah, Lebron’s Cavs struggled too much on D, and having HCA is huge

    Including this season, Siakam is paid about 6 million dollars through the next 3 seasons. Total.

    Best contract in the league.

    Don't you wish PJ Tucker was 6'9 with a 7'3 wingspan? :(

    It's all about matchup. Siakam almost disappeared playing against Greek Freak and now he comes alive against Donkey Green.
