Do the Toronto Raptors need to pick two of Scottie Barnes, O.G. Anunoby & Pascal Siakam? And if so, who? w/ Jamar Hinds

In Episode 1445, Sean Woodley and Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) discuss the conundrum facing the Toronto Raptors at the moment: do they need to simply pick two of Scottie Barnes, O.G. Anunoby and Pascal Siakam to build the team around going forward, purely for the sake of picking a franchise direction? And how does the Raptors; 33-17 finish to the 2021-22 season with Siakam and Barnes leading the way help inform that decision? Off the top, they lay out the three options that lay before the Raptors: trade Siakam and pivot to a youthful team that'll need a long time to build up led by Barnes and Anunoby; extend Siakam and trade Anunoby to give the Barnes-Siakam duo a shot as the most purely talented duo among the three guys; or make the big move and offer Scottie Barnes up in a Damian Lillard trade push? All had their merits and drawbacks! Then, they dive into the Rapotrs second-half heater in 2021-22 that saw Siakam and Barnes play wonderfully off one another. Is anything about that close to the season replicable going forward? How does the addition of Jakob Poeltl help or hinder that group's viability? And is there any chance Precious Achiuwa can reach the heights of that season to help offset the potential loss of Anunoby in a trade? Plus, will this nightmare summer ever end? Probably not actually. This is our hellish reality now.
