Good night for All-Star Starter Siakam to shine. Also be nice to see OG break out of his recent funk. Aside from that, nothing else on my wish list other than a Raptor win by a respectable margin. Not looking for another ropey-dope effort until the 4Q when we then make a big push to get the Win.

And if that's the case, that will hurt their chances. I think Fred will want at least 4 years.

Oh really? When Fred signs that $27M/year contract, he'll say something like: "this was the best move for me and my family". They all say that. And I'll say... thanks for the 2 chips, Fred and God Bless.
Remember another Raptor guy who gushed about raising his kids in Canada? Fred was 6MOTY candidate under him.
- These guys are super competitive and, for the most part, have huge egos. They always think they will make a team/org better when they go to it. (I'll never understand the "Why would he leave? His current team is better?" counterpoints - these guys always think they make the success and they will make the new team better when they get there. They hardly care who was there last year.)
- Money
- Money
- Money
- Occasionally some other reason
End of the day most of these guys are pros and are professionals about this being an income earning career for them and their families. They'll move for big paycheques, like most people."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

That said, more guys are rolling now than early in the year when Pascal had it going. He seems content to take a step back if Norm or Serge are going off for 18+ points. They don't need to ride Siakam the same. But still - lots of room for him to be more assertive and get into more of a groove than he has been since coming back."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
