It would be embarrassing for us if we overpay for Siakam or Kat.
Holding out knowing Toronto doesn't want to extend Pascal is good business, nothing like prom at all cause the prize is an all-nba player who probably isn't gonna leave vs a date who doesn't like you and will be gone in a few hours.
The JC TPE isn't a waste either even if we don't get one of these targets, not hitting that 2nd apron and leaving ourselves options in the future is a W if you widen your perspective past what our starting lineup looks like at the start of the season.
There are going to be options available at the trade deadline like there are every year
Patience is a virtue in the FO, Toronto isn't going anywhere and if Indiana/Orlando wanna overpay for a year of P they can go ahead.
It isn't likely though so it's good Landry is playing it smart and tight.
