Yes and people were saying even when healthy he sucked, wasn't worth the money, was nothing without Kawhi, etc.
Ultimately for this years roster, fit would have been awkward. Long term, I'd take Siakam here over Love or Markannen (and I like both of them).
But it's less about saying we should have traded him I don't think Masai really put him on the market) and more about saying people were acting like he was trash and one of the worst contracts in the NBA
He was never bad. He was always an above average NBA starter to fringe all-star.
The question then was "is he worth max salary money? Probably not."
It's tilted more to "yes" this year but even still....is that a max contract player? Tonight obviously yes but I'd still say he's borderline on that.
