THOUGHTS | PASCAL SIAKAM TO THE INDIANA PACERS

After five seasons, the core of Toronto's championship squad is now with different teams.

Pascal Siakam is the last piece to leave.

I don't like the idea of forcing the player out just because he wants to play for the same team. With that said, this is a good beginning for Spicy P. It's hard to forget about Siakam's accomplishments. If Toronto continues to hold Kyle Lowry, Demar Derozan, Kawhi Leonard, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and Nick Nurse in a positive light, then the same can be said with Siakam.

With that said, it's going to be a tough kind of love from here on out - with the Indiana Pacers being their conference rival.
