 (even all-NBA guys get a thumbs down from some). 

Dan, I agree with pretty much everything you wrote here, but I would like to clarify one thing as you have brought this up a couple of times.  I would love to have Siakam on this team and that move alone would probably make us contenders.  However, he is going to be in extreme demand to the point that its likely to be an overpay.  If we are going to put all of our eggs into one basket in an overpay for a player, I would like it to be as good a fit as possible.  When I think about fit next to Luka, I am looking for defense first, then spacing, then shot creation.  Siakam is a good defender but not elite, not much of a floor spacer and his offensive creation is what is going to get him paid.  The fact that he is a better rebounder our PFs (except Luka) is a bonus, but just not high on my list.  The fact that he is going to be 30 soon is another hit given that the move will likely deprive us of assets for many years.  I just think someone like OG is a much better fit.
