Will the Toronto Raptors finally trade Pascal Siakam?

Will the Toronto Raptors finally trade Pascal Siakam?

Last week ESPN’s Tim bontemps wrote that League sources expect Toronto to move on from two-time All-Star forward Pascal yakum before the trade deadline this was a part of Tim bont’s article on OG and the RJ quickly trade between the Knicks and Raptors well Jake fiser added that while Atlanta was once considered the

Most aggressive Suitor for siakam’s services chatter among NBA Executives now has a potential landing spot for spicy P to go to Indiana or sac or Detroit so TK you get it started here how many buckets of slop are you giving to the seum expected to be dealt before

The deadline I’m giving it four buckets of slop because this is a sloppy scenario I do believe cuz seak I think you could probably call him the hottest commodity uh on the trade market right now considering he’s got a championship in his past he’s an all NBA player he’s

Been great this season looks really nice uh next to quickly and Barnes there uh but SE yakum has also been in the mix which why I can’t go for five slops you cannot go for five slops with MSU jiri it’s very obvious that he could keep this guy especially because seak

Basically has like a junior no trade clause being an expiring contract you got to work it out with the front office of the other team ahead of time knowing he’s going to resign which has hurt uh his Market apparently him threatening not to resign with Sacramento basically

Killed that deal which take it or leave it for the Raptors if you’re really excited about Davon Mitchell uh but there’s also been some weird handling of SE yakum it feels like uh Josh lenberg over at TSN reported that they basically had no contact with him over the summer

Uh the Raptors released that phone call of Messi chatting on the phone with Emanuel quickley talking up Scotty Barn so much no mention of Pascal cakam all of these leaks that come out seem to me Raptors themed trying to drum up into first siakam because I think the fact

That he has that no that uh expiring contract probably is hurting the return turn coming back for Toronto here so if the deal’s not there you even heard Brian Wier stay it today on the hoop Collective they’re not against signing him to us to another extension yeah and

Then maybe moving them yeah because the team would be much more interested obviously having him under control uh but you only go two buckets here of slop yeah the SL the slop scale is perfect for Pascal sakima feels like this is this is a nice slop to get talking about

But I’m going down low I I know there has been talk but I think the OG an anobi trade has changed it a little bit for him he’s shooting a lot he is feeling like the number one guy I know Scotty Barnes is technically the number one guy and they dark didn’t

Mention him at all in that uh rant there last night yeah that’s I I think they’ve done that before with with cakam he doesn’t need to be motivated as much by a by a coach or whoever the guy is just a former Champion he’s just great he’s an all NBA

Player he’s great I think less crowding on the wing seems to help then now that they got rid of O OG an anobi he’s having fun it feels like him and Messiah are definitely connected I know there have been some odd phone call releases but I do think they’re boys and uh he’s

Going to be 30 when it comes to free agent time here he’s turning 30 I think he’s going to look at the old license and say I’m 30 years old I’m going to stay here for a while look at his license oh yeah I’m 30 uh does he

Want to leave Toronto great City I think they’ll sign him to a nice deal no it’s not going to be a max deal he may get some more from somebody else but I I think he likes Toronto so this is this is at a great scale cuz literally I

Could see a trade happening it doesn’t seem like seaka wants to leave I agree with you on that it seems like they’re kind of ushering him out the door here it’s interesting yeah it depends on how much they want to pay I guess I I think

That comes that’s going to be a factor um because somebody else may pay him more I I personally think to to go with to what Trey was saying if SE yakum was under a threeyear deal right now like still had years left on his like look if

Seak had a Wiggins contract more money but you know obviously the length of it he would have been traded because he’d be he is the hottest commodity you can add that guy to almost any team helps your chances to win a championship this year for these squads like whoever it

May be but it is this issue of like damn we’re not going to trade a bunch of draft capital and a bunch of young prospects which obviously the Raptors would want want to pair with Barnes and quickly and RJ moving forward why would we do that he may leave we’re not going

To do that for 3 four months uh of potentially this guy unless they felt confident they could sign him so that’s the the issue here so maybe the Raptor’s best bet would just be hey come to an agreement sign them and then look to trade them it’s not like you can’t trade

Them then and you’ll probably get better deals for your own own organization the Raptors I would think when he’s 30 signed to a long deal yeah I mean does he look like he’s over the hill and washed no he’s going to play the exact same way for three years probably right

Like three four years I don’t see why he’s going to change that much person unless he got injured of course that goes for everybody I I think this team is going to be good without Pascal cakam and and the draft picks aren’t going to be great internally like they’re going

To have picks like they got for Pascal seak in the 20s probably I think the team’s going to be decent so it’s going to be hard to get good from there so I say why not keep the guy I understand you’re thinking in terms of having a guy

Under a long-term deal and dealing him and getting lots back for him they could have done that a couple years ago with everybody OJ anobi Scotty Barnes and Pascal cakam they didn’t so do they regret that I think because they made a decent deal with OG Obi where they got

Two youngish players here that are going to be part of a decent team listen it’s fun to be a raptor fan with an a 500 team so this team’s gonna be 500 wish we were 500 yeah baby they’re G to get up to 500 they’re going to be a 41- win

Team you’re going to enjoy going down to the Scotia Bank Arena and cheering for that team I think the T tickets are a little expensive there’s no doubt uh related news to this this isn’t on the slop scale here but according to boodog the Mavs are the favorites to lakum in a

Trade if the Raptors decide to move on from him before the deadline Dallas top odds at plus 150 followed by the Grizzlies at plus 250 and the Pacers at plus 450 uh just thought that was a strange I know that I know Dallas been linked to

Se yakum and then it sounded like they weren’t um you know who are who Tim Hardway Jr and ran Holmes I mean is that going to move the needle there I wouldn’t think so you think the RS want more but I will say the Mavericks Nico Harrison he’s made two pretty big moves

Over the last two deadlines right not afraid to make big deals two years ago he traded porzingis for uh Den witty and Berton I guess at the 2022 deadline and then last year obviously trades for Kyrie Irving uh for deny and DF and there’s a bunch of other things

Involved in that but yeah maybe maybe he makes another aggressive play here in trying to get seak I just don’t know what it would be uh in return because appar you nailed it get you’re getting salary filler and probably a pick yeah and I think I mean

The Mavs should do that I think Tim Hardway Jr has actually been pretty solid for them this year ran Holmes they brought him in basically as a trade piece uh at draft day and I think the Mavs are a team like even if you don’t have assurances from seak that he wants

To resign going forward you’ve got a young superstar in Luka donic you got a great number two in Kyrie Irving and they’re not going to have to give up a ton of their future going forward they’re a team that I think could convince SE yakum to sign long term if

They want to take a rental on him now right yeah I just think that other teams probably have a lot more more at least than what the Mavs would be willing unless teams aren’t willing to trade for a guy who’s going to become a free Asian

Here yeah they’re not I mean the kings are like here’s Harrison Barnes any interest maybe Mitchell like they don’t they don’t no Monk no obviously no Keegan Murray uh I guess the rumors I’ve seen with the Mavericks are like we’re not even including green you want green

Nah he’s off the table so you’re tre’s right like they’re getting low balled to death here because I hate to say it they probably if they were going to move oakum should have done it prior to this season and would have got probably a really good return for him uh and

They’ve waited too long so now they’re in the predicament of oh damn we might just have to sign this guy again and hope is then somebody is desperate and gives a bunch of draft picks and a bunch of young players cuz he’s a player of that cap ability like he’s I’m not

Saying he should get four first round picks should probably be more than one from the Dallas Mavericks I think seak yeah and if it’s the Maverick’s pick it’s literally the Mavericks pick and it’s not going to be good because they have Luca donic on their team it’s going

To be whether it’s a first round it’s not it’s going to be in the high teens at the very best it’s probably going to be in the 20s so if you’re tucking picks tuck a good pick uh that’s what I’m I’m thinking if I’m I think they missed the

Boat on that that’s potential they’re not getting as good of a return as they could have gotten and signing him going forward they’re in the Zack LaVine situation we’re like he’s good he’s really good but he signed for a gigantic deal and he’s at the end of his Prime

And siakam’s two years older than LaVine LaVine like the Bulls will be happy to get one first round pick this year and I think that’s what the Raptors are going to be looking at too yeah I I guess they’ll say to sakam hey 30 mil how

About that and we’ll produce a show for you and Scotty Barnes you guys are the stars thought it would be good I mean they like he used to be on Serge baca’s show they’re going to give him not a raise they’re sign him for 30 milon not

Even a chance and this is the fear that he’s just going to leave completely and then you’re left going damn I guess we should have taken Tim Hardway Jr ran Holmes and a pick ack uh you know in the late teens yeah because we got we got

Nothing yeah when I said 30 that that is quite the the cut because he’s making 37 now but you know if they can work something off the table that’s what I’m that’s what I’m thinking but off the table a series 50 instead of 60 we will

Give you an open gy gy special I mean I don’t think that’s going to do it I think Pascal is going to love to run if it’s a long-term deal yeah it depends on how much how much do you think somebody else is ciding Pascal to at 30 years of age entering free

Agency more than 30 not a great free agency class yeah yeah we have a little talk 32 how about 32 plus a TV show that’s still a that’s still a pay cut he over 40 he’s going to get over 40 easily easily yeah you were you’re saying OG’s

Going to get close to 40 how are you then turning around and saying he’s far younger so I mean seak is far better absolutely he’s much better yeah

Pascal Siakam will head into free agency this summer, leading to rampant speculation about the possibility of the Raptors trading him before the deadline. Is that the right move? And what will Pascal Siakam’s next contract look like? No Dunks break it all down.
