Resigning Pat is the smart move. Its the only way to get "over the cap" and frankly, thats where we need to be to play with the big boys. You can trade him later but theres no sense in letting him go for nothing, as others said you can't replace him in free agency so you might as well bring him back as a trade chip.
Or trade him this year. Either works.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

That's probably wishful thinking at this point, but I think people undervalue his offensive potential by comparing him to bigs like Biz.

Like I said I think he looks like a similar player to Amir Johnson with a better offensive outlook. If he continues to add some lower-body strength over the next year or two he could play a little small ball 5 in limited minutes. If Siakam can find a consistent jump-shot out to 18-20 feet I also see a little Horace Grant there as well.
He is not close to either Grant or Johnson in their prime, but the potential is there I believe.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

As he is now, he's mobile enough to switch on the perimeter if he has to, and I think you have to focus on keeping him a guy who can effectively do that. I want him to be able to guard stretch 4s and switch if needed. In fact I hope he can switch both onto bigger or smaller/quicker players. That's what he's shown flashes of so far, and that's going to be a valuable defensive piece the way the game is now.
Needs that jumper though. There's some foundation to build on there, but still needs a lot of work.
**Sidenote: It looks like the organization may be trying to turn Bruno into this kind of player as well. Guess Masai figures if he keeps picking players with potential to fill that kind of role, one of them will probably pan out (I think DeAndre Daniels was a similar pick).
