An aggressive Keegan Murray is a great thing. He’s battling Pascal Siakam and how about his stop-and-pop three in transition? – 11:07 PM

Good minutes from this Quickley-Schroder-Siakam-Boucher-Poeltl lineup. Needed impact minutes from Dennis and Chris and you’re getting it, Jak’s been better in this stint. Couple gut punch 3s given up. Gotta close the quarter strong. – 11:01 PM

The broadcast just mentioned a variation of this, but fun fact, the Win Shares leaders of the 2016 NBA Draft:
1 Domantas Sabonis
2 Pascal Siakam
3 Jakob Poeltl
4 Fred VanVleet (undrafted, but still).
If you go VORP it’s:
Sabonis
Siakam
VanVleet
Ben Simmons

The Siakam “audition” narrative is laughable out here in Sacramento
If they don’t know what siakam is now, shame on them. One good or bad game is not going to change any minds. – 8:29 PM

Lots of noise re: Siakam & Sac but keep in mind … 1. The Kings already have two max guys in Fox and Sabonis, so are they really going to add a third max guy in Siakam? If not then no chance w/ pending UFA 2. They aren’t going to trade Keegan Murray so …. – 7:46 PM

I’m not sold on Siakam being “The guy” for Sacramento to go all in on. If Toronto are looking for players and not picks, you have to think another team is involved. – 7:02 PM

The Kings can quickly reach a near exact salary match for a Pascal Siakam trade with Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter and Davion Mitchell.
For Sacramento, the question will be if they’re willing to potentially include unprotected or very lightly protected picks in 2028 and 2030 to… – 7:00 PM

Being decisive about the direction of the team is good and it’s clear the Raptors are now well into the process of doing so but the indirect disrespect to Pascal Siakam since the summer is bewildering.

Pick one trade result for the Kings. And before you select the Siakam option on impulse, remember that he’s an expiring deal vs way better contract situations for Kuzma & Kuminga.
HKD = Harrison, Kevin, Davion combo package. – 6:12 PM

The Pacers are continuing to look for upgrades at power forward, even after drafting Jarace Walker at No. 8 overall, per @JakeLFischer (sports.yahoo.com/how-the-og-anu…).

More on this storyline
Philadelphia is routinely tossed out there as a likely trade bidder for Chicago’s Zach LaVine or Toronto’s Pascal Siakam, but a source with knowledge of the team’s thinking told me again this week that the Sixers should not be expected to pursue either player between now and Feb. 8. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 5, 2024
