When the camera went to him after the pick was announced, the first thing I thought of when I saw him for the first time (in his fancy red suit) was he looked like he just stepped off the ice with Stars on Ice and not the NBA.
If you dont know what I am talking about, google it.

Siakam trade to Atlanta sounds like it could formulate today or tmo. Houston is trying to get involved as a 3rd team. Also talks about OG trade after a Siakam trade would be possible.

Would've been better to blow it up at the deadline, but now that the direction is clear with Fred getting the bag in Houston, it is absolutely time to blow this thing up. Whether that actually comes to fruition is another story. They've been resistant to rebuilds since Masai took over.
It's weird they'd blow it up by extend Poertl.

You've still got to spend money and Poetl is a guy who has a lot of fans around the NBA. The reason the Raptors had to go as high as the 2024 1st for him was because he had other bidders.
That pick trade is a sunk cost now. But Poetl as a matching salary in trade is worth more than any cap space they might gain by just letting him walk.
Ultimately, the NBA is so deep now that you can have good players and still be one of the worst teams.
