Shams Charania just said this on [Run It Back](https://x.com/runitbackfdtv?s=21) on FanDuel TV:
He said the Golden State Warriors to have interest in trading for Raptors star Pascal Siakam. He also mentioned that the Pistons and Pacers are expected to have interest and that the market for Siakam is expected to heat up in the coming days.
I’ll post a streamable of the clip here once the clipoff is posted to their Twitter.

wiggins + moody + kuminga for siakam + Otto porter jr
Just keep JK out of this
I fear Wiggins/Moody and filler won’t be enough. If they find a way to make it happen they better be sure he’ll resign this summer or we’re screwed. No way is it worth it if he walks for nothing. Then we lose Wiggins’ salary slot, Moody as a future piece, and whatever else we have to include. All for like 5 months of play and a puncher’s chance at doing something.
**paul & kuminga for siakam** work salary wise … warriors probably have to add at least a future 1st round pick and maybe even a pick swap
would the raptors prefer paul over wiggins as paul is an expiring contract while wiggins is signed thru 3 more seasons after 2023/24 and not sure the raptors want to take on a contract as large as wiggins since they’re going to need to re-sign barnes and quckley soon … and supposedly their ownership has been unwilling to pay any kind of tax for going over the cap in the past
Why? We suck he doesn’t make us a contender. And he won’t re-sign. Waste of trade capital.
Wiggins, Moody and a future pick should get it done.
I feel like with the risk of him bolting in free agency the trade doesn’t make sense unless you can keep JK… But Siakam, Draymond, and Kuminga can’t all play together, which would basically eat up all of JK’s minutes. Unless they could somehow swing a second trade for a floor-spacing wing or 2-guard, I’m not sure how this would work
I prefer Markannen
what happens to our cap situation if we trade Wiggins and let Klay and Paul walk in the offseason? Would we be under the cap?
Just fell to my knees
I’d hope we’re able to outbid the Pistons at least and also not sure what that team is doing trying to trade for Siakam lmao just keep your picks and continue tanking this year
If the raptors are gonna blow it up and go full rebuild, this doesn’t just have to be for siakam solo. Wiggins and cp3 and have Toronto give us whatever pieces they don’t want or fit into their timeline.
Wiggs + Cp3 + Moody plus picks for Siakam + OPJ and Schroder or Siakam and GTJ
Where there’s smoke there’s fire
Please don’t we aren’t contenders with him either way. I don’t understand obsession with ps. He was all star one season one of the most overrated players in the league
I guess the worst case we package Wiggins, Kuminga, and Moody for Siakam. We get 5 months of decent Warriors basketball. Maybe we get to 2nd-3rd round in the playoffs. Siakam leaves for more money in the offseason. What are we left with next season?
Not worth more than some combo of Wiggins, CP, pick or two
If they traded for Siakim and he doesn’t want to resign at the end of the season could the Warriors do a sign and trade to keep the salary slot?
Warriors aren’t going to trade for Siakam without knowing he’ll re-sign.
Warriors will want to include Wiggins for salary and then perhaps a young prospect not named Kuminga and a pick.
I don’t think it’s likely to happen.
If I’m MDJ the only thing I’m willing to reasonably part with for a Siakam rental is Wiggins. That’s just me tho
There’s almost no way this doesn’t end in disappointment and not a ring. Unless they somehow move Klay (they won’t) and Wiggins (who wants him). So that means they trade Kuminga + Moody who would pair well with Scottie Barnes.
