Episode 1399
In Episode 1388, Sean Woodley goes solo to quickly address the news of Ime Udoka getting hired by the Houston Rockets and thus no longer being in the running to replace Nick Nurse with the Toronto Raptors, before diving into the 2022-23 season of Pascal Siakam and what comes next for him. Siakam was better than ever this year, and turned in one of the best individual seasons in Toronto Raptors franchise history. He remains a good ISO and post-up hub, and is still comortably the best player on the team. But will the fit issues with the Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam and Jakob Poeltl front court force the Raptors front office to make a tough decision regarding the two-time All-NBA forward who is up for a pivotal extension this summer? Could a new coach weaponize Siakam as an off-ball scorer akin to what he was back from 2018 through 2020? And does the Siakam-Barnes-Jak trio need one more year to see if the fit can be massaged -- ideally with a three-point shooting uptick on the part of Siakam? Lastly, Sean examines the two potential roads the team could go down with Pascal this summer. Extend or trade? What are the arguments both ways? And why does a trade make less sense this summer than it might make sense if Siakam were on a longer term contract? All that, plus a Discord listener question about Siakam's odds of finishing Top-5 in MVP voting some day.
