Siakam is a PF - check
Siakam is playmaker (not necessarily a PG but a player who can make shots on his own, and make shots for others) - check
Two needs in one player.
Lukas hasn't had a scorer like this to play with. KP needed Luka or someone else to set him up.
Siakam doesn't really need Luka to score.
Interesting fit.
And Siakam is an INCREDIBLY capable and versatile defender.
I have been hoping for a KP for Siakam trade since the very end of December when he was benched. I said then (and it hasn't changed), its the perfect kind of swap where each team gets a high end talent with potential while giving up their poor fit player.
