Much more so with Siakim for me, personally, which is kind of where I've been going with the last two pages of discussion. 

I pretty much agree with your interpretation of what's at stake. It seems like you don't think either player gets you there, which is possibly the bottom line. For me, I think optimism would come with a big Siakim trade.

I like Siakim a lot.  He has a two-way toolset and I think you need guys like him that can do a little bit of everything (to varying degrees) to surround Luka with since his skillset and usage are always going make him one dimensional.  It's hard to think of many players that are as ideal next to Luka as Siakam (Bam would be the other one).  I think where my issue would be the price and what you are left with after the acquisition.
