Does it make more sense for the Raptors to extend Pascal Siakam before or after this season? loung_s makes the case for signing Spicy P now and for waiting until next summer:

still have quite a few questions to answer ahead of the start of the regular season on Oct. 22, but the most pressing one will come the day before the ball officially tips on the 2019-20 campaign.

Should the deadline pass, Siakam will be in line to become a restricted free agent in the summer of 2020, when the Raptors could still lock him up. Financially speaking, Siakam is looking at a five-year, $170-million contract, but, as Wojnarowski said in that same video, there’s a chance that if he and the Raptors were to agree to an extension there might be wiggle room for a small hometown discount.

But one of the team's biggest strengths at the wing is that they have nothing but options, writes loung_s. loung_s Raptors Big opportunity for OG. Hope he does well as he’s got the potential. Raptors are in good position to compete for a top 4 spot in the East. The D should still be very good. And worst case, still set up to remake the team in the next couple years without a painful rebuild. loung_s Raptors Intrigued to see how these guys perform during the season. Lots of upside and if Nick Nurse is good at, he knows how to adjust his rotations to exploit match ups.

One thing that people fail to realize is that Stanley Johnson is an elite defender. He's in the 90th percentile among all players in overall defense.
