We cant win with him as 2nd option.. literally defending nba champion with him as 2nd option..
I mean, I know we want him to be Kawhi RIGHT NOW, but not much has actually changed other than his usage last year played to his strengths a lot more than what they've got him doing this year imho:
Hero to zero comes at you hard in the NBA, I guess."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

He's a 6'10" all-star that can handle the ball shoot the 3 and finish inside, while being one of the quickest PF's in this league. He doesn't need to try to be Dirk Nowitzki or Kobe. Midrange fadeways were layups for those guys, but Siakam's natural talent is different. Use that instead of trying to be someone he's not because all of sudden that's the "role" the team needs him to play. Run some pnr for the kid and let him play loose again.

At this point he's still a 2nd option behind Fred Van Jordan.

that's a keeper of a player. We just need someone else. We really need a tall shooting guard with all star ability. I'd prefer jrue holiday and have for years over Bradley Beal because he defends well.
then wed have our "billups-rip-prince-sheed-big ben" lineup. Were an all star short. Fred and Lowry is too redundant a backcourt when your wing is a specialist like OG.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Whoever is telling him to do slow ISO midrange contested floaters because he now needs to be Kawhi, needs to stop and say "I was wrong, please get back to being who you are and playing you normal game". If he was the one that decided that, he should realize that forcing himself to do that in the middle of the playoffs is not gonna help him or the team. Get back to Rico Hines next summer and try that there if he wants, but right now, get back to your normal game.

Well you dont trade Pascal siakam because hes not Kawhi, durant or james. Hes not DeRozan. He likes defense, passing, hustling, and will slide forward or backward on the depth chart without complaint.

FVV was their 2nd best player in the Bucks series. Siakam had a great Game 1 against the Warriors but Lowry was their 2nd best player in that series.
Kyle Lowry OVERALL was the Raptors 2nd best player last year.Mamba Mentality

The silver lining of the Celtics series is that we're seeing the apex of what FVV can do... he's a budget Kyle Lowry, in almost every way. The main drivers for keeping FVV have less to do with on-court performance, but rather the intangibles he brings to the culture. Hard to put a price-tag on that.

Siakam is literally the Raps 2nd leading scorer last year.
One thing's for sure though: Kyle Lowry was the Raptors second best OVERALL player last year. This year he's their best player...by a mile. How can anyone even argue this?

Best player is an entirely different conversation.
