[Charania] Developing: The Raptors and Pacers are in active talks on a trade centered on two-time All-Star Pascal Siakam for package that includes three first-round picks, league sources say.

  1. Did the Cs break toronto again? 2 losses followed by trades?

    Srsly 3 FRPs? If I were Indiana I won’t do it unless Siakam commits to an extension

    Indy going from border line play in team to first round exit team

    Idk this seems kinda dumb for the Pacers. Siakam is good but is he the right piece in Indiana? He slows the game down, has to do his spins and post moves, mediocre spacing next to Turner, just takes the ball out of Haliburton’s hands. And you’re giving up 3 picks for that plus a valuable role player in Bruce Brown? I don’t really get it, we play Toronto 4x a year and I’m never impressed with him.

    Idk if it’s just me but I don’t find siakam to be that good. I wouldn’t want to be the team to pay him max money.

    Also I would hate if he was on my team because I can’t stand his yodeling and yelping every time he gets touched

    Does this make Jalen Smith expendable and available?

    If it’s being reported, it’s safe to assume the deal is almost done.

    Siakam’s agent has probably given word that he would sign a new contract; after all, his Bird rights would go to Indy and they could do a 5 year deal. He’s 30, so this is probably his last chance at a big bag.

    Meanwhile, I’m really not sure how this helps Indy. I’d imagine aside the picks they are parting with Brown and Heild…and while that cleans up a logjam of players that are around 6′ 6″, I just don’t see this as the missing piece of the puzzle here. And if there are further moves for the Pacers….then they are going to have to part with Mathurin, most likely.

    There better be a lot of protections on those picks for Indiana’s sake.

    Siakam isn’t a #1 option, Pacers about to fuck up the market if they give up three first rounders.

    Please don’t set up Toronto like this lol, foolish trade.

    This would be perfect for us: makes them a team that could very well knock out the bucks early, but not really much more than a second round exit.
