With Chris Haynes saying raptors Siakam on a verge of breakup and highly unlikely he doesn’t get traded
Gonna be interesting next 4 weeks and see where it’s headed
With the way Luka and kyrie be playing
Adding a top 7 PF in his prime without completely gutting roster
Would be huge be steal I think

With what assets?
I have a hard time seeing how Dallas doesn’t get out bid given how little assets they have
that offer of a couple role players + one 1st can be matched/beat by like 10 other playoff teams.
Bros have no assets talking about not gutting the roster lol
Dallas has nothing of value except Lively. Deal isn’t happening.
I mean he absolutely would but they have so little to offer unless Lively is on the table (which I assume he’s not) that I don’t expect Siakam to be traded there with other offers on the table.
Luka/Kyrie/Siakam would be a legitimate 2024 big three. I don’t know how they get it done but it would be fun to see.
would be a decent fit. Siakam is a 3rd option type of guy and you got Luka/Kyrie there
even if they *could* somehow get Pascal, who else would even be left on that roster? they already have zero depth
Deal begins and ends with Lively, and I don’t think the Mavs are willing to go back to Dwight Powell as their 1C lol
I get the feeling the asking price isn’t as high as we’d think because they can’t guarantee Siakam will re-sign with wherever he’s traded. I don’t know what Dallas can reasonably give that Toronto would want. not like THJ makes sense for them.
Mavs have no assets to get Pascal.
This guy Fischer kinda just says stuff about trade rumors, I wonder if he has legitimate sources
Is it me or raps fans over valuing return for a potential 6 month rental.
Yall missed the whole quote saying. There’s also people in dallas who thinks the price is to steep for a uncertain player like him. Also a questionable fit.
If it happens I’m hopeful it’s for a verbal resigning agreement and us only sending THJ/Holmes/1st round pick/and two of Green, Hardy or OMax.
Unless Siakam is willing to sign long term to the team he is traded to, his trade value isn’t high. He is just a rental at that point.
If only both teams didn’t have to accept a trade…
He could totally pair up with Doncić, Lively and Exum to lead Dallas to great results, I can imagine that.
Lol. And within the next few days, will we get another opinion that states the following as a headline:
I know there are absolutely people in “insert NBA team location” who really think Pascal is a missing piece that could potentially pair with “insert player 1” and “insert player 2” and all of a sudden you look up and the “insert NBA team” off are a legitimate contender in the “insert West or East”
It’s amusing people think the Raptors will get a lot for 3 months of Siakam, who has already turned down teams, because he doesn’t want to guarantee re-signing there.
So 3 months of control, with limited amount of teams and you have to guarantee a max, which carrying 3 max on a team with the new CBA is virtually cap suicide.
Yeah a team (not necessarily the mavs) are gonna get him for peanuts.
Man, that would be incredible.
Raptors just need to continue building their all-Canada roster and ship Siakam to GSW for Wiggins + picks/cash considerations.
Jakob + Siakam for Lively + THJ + 1st round picks and filler is a reasonable trade.
Is Siakam that good?
Honest question, I hardly watch any Raptors games.
I mean I know he’s good, all star starter and all that, but max contracts don’t grow on trees – at 29 years old, is he ‘tear up your roster and burn all your assets because he’s the missing piece for a blue chip contender and can be your main man / second option to win a title’ good?
Yeah and these people are fucking stupid. Siakam is way too expensive and not worth it.
We have a 7’2 19 year old athletic center, rim protector, great rebounder, great shot blocker, great on pick an roll AND a great guy who’s already developed chemistry with the squad and the franchise player. That’s a wet dream for a team with Luka. Why the fuck do you all think its insane we want to keep him
The fit would be magical for Dallas. They just don’t have any assets to trade lol. This one isn’t happening
As a raptors fan I hope he goes to mavs as it’s his best chance to win
Kyrie Luka and Siakam would be an amazing playoff offense with 3 very good iso players who can attack mismatches. Siakam defense has been meh past few years, but next to kyrie and luka possible, his defense would improve with a lesser offensive road.
I’m somewhat intrigued by josh Green. I dont really care for hardy, not getting lively, but maybe some maxence prosper??? would need picks as well, plus Sallary. Jones Jr Grant Williams and Siakam are kinda redundant, so maybe Jonesjr or Williams get thrown in. Holmes is fine as salary, but I don’t want kleber since he’s got 2 years after this and has health concerns.
