[Shams] Atlanta has offered a package centered around De’Andre Hunter, AJ Griffin and draft compensation to Toronto for Siakam, league sources say. But the Raptors are believed to have upped the price on any possible deal at each turn.

Masai is cooked
Not really interested in hunter
Worth noting Hunter+Griffin is still 7m short of being within salary matching range for Siakam. Hawks don’t have a player around that salary range to be filler so maybe this was before the John Collins trade was finalized?
Atlanta also doesn’t have a ton of draft capital so wondering what that compensation was. Assuming it’s one of the 2024 picks they have next year, but was that it? If so, I think I agree that offer isn’t quite enough.
So it’s the same offer we’ve been hearing for months, minus Dejounte since he signed the extension. What’s new 🤷🏻♂️
Pretty much what I figured a Hawks offer would be.
He’s not getting traded can we please Staaahp?!
People will most likely say this is a shit offer but considering Siakam is on an expiring and literally told every team he ain’t signing an extension with them, this is probably the best we are gonna get.
We are literally trying to milk out everything we can from the Hawks (which we should be doing) but I truly think Siakam’s time with the Raps is almost up. My prediction is that the Hawks refusal of adding one of Bufkin or OO, and finding a value deal for Clint Capela is why this is taking so long.
If Masai somehow manages to misread another situation he needs to be fired.
Either extend Siakam, or trade him. He’s on an expiring, his value is not going to nearly be at its highest. I don’t see how we benefit in this situation the longer it lingers, if Siakam isn’t extended and we have him post-trade deadline I seriously worry.
We wanted Bufkin too
I’d rather be re-signing pascal then taking that deal
This is more than fair for a guy who’s in a contract year and you’re not willing to build around
I’d be livid if they went through with this lollipop ass trade.
If Raptors and Hawks go into the season with their current rosters, Raptors end with a better record. People say we’re a confusing roster but that Hawks team is going nowhere.
Even as a blow it up move this isn’t a fun package
This is pretty much a pointless tweet without knowing what the actual draft compensation is. Could be a second or a bunch of firsts.
Doesn’t look like anything has changed. Shams even says the talks are at a complete pause.
Interesting to see what the offer looked like, but considering the Hawks only have one first they can trade in 2029, because of the Dejounte deal, it should surprise nobody that this wouldn’t get it done.
Looks like even Shams is stretching for content in the dog days. I bet the offer he is discussing was made a month or more ago.
No, I don’t want no scrubs
Lmao pennies for a dollar. Hunter is fine, would be a solid 4th guy in a starting lineup, but he’s completely redundant when you have OG on the roster
AJ Griffin would be a great prospect, but it’s impossible to evaluate this offer without more information on what “draft compensation” was offered.
Of course AJ Griffin Jr was offered right after we let AJ Griffin Jr’s Dad go to the Bucks 🤬🤬🤬
Ok so what draft compensation lol
Griffin and a second round pick aint it
Upped the offer at each turn? This is where make believe reporting enters, stage left. Common sense departs, stage right. If a low ball offer comes in, what does any intelligent person say in response? And if the next offer is still a low ball one, what does any intelligent person say in response?
“Man, you all just love to be tripping”. Fentanyl be talking in your house. Lol!
The hawks have offered little in terms of roster assets and minimal futures. Can’t see the team being interested but I guess we’re just being difficult again.
Really want Griffin. Hunter is not an asset, though, f the Hawks are posturing as if he is that’s probably the hold-up. He’s just what makes the money work. These talks should resume.
So you guys rather hope he just doesnt make all nba and let him be a ufa. One public notice saying we arent offering a supermax under any circumstances changes everything. Also all he had to do is be more healthy than other guys to make it since most all stars now dont play 65 games. I just dont see how pascal siakam is good enough to demand he get paid a supermax
That’s…not bad, depending on the draft capital though.
Outside of Griffin the return is weak. Bufkin or Okongwu would need to be added plus picks. ATL needs to pay up for an All NBA talent. Though Pascal is on an expiring deal and not committing to a team he’s traded to does muddy the possible return.
Add bufkin and I’d do it tbh
No wonder Siakam isn’t traded with these trash ass offers.
This trade is shit. Siakam is ok extending with us, so I don’t worry if he leaves.
Draft compensation would have to extend pretty far out for me to be interested
*Pascal kills his trade value by saying he won’t re-sign*
“OMG the trade offers have been so bad for pascal” – Raptors fans
Where Bufkin at?
This is a reasonable return for Pascal, whose has damaged his own trade value by saying he wouldn’t sign with anyone else. Not sure what y’all expect lol
What is this dogshit lmfao.
DeAndre Hunter is trash, Griffin’s ceiling is Harrison Barnes and the Hawks’ core is too young and too good for those picks to ever be worth anything.
Hunter, Okongwu, Griffin and Bufkin makes the money work though.
A young core of Bufkin, Trent, Barnes, Griffin, Dick and Okongwu isn’t that bad a start to a rebuild.
This ain’t it
Onyeka, AJ Griffin, Hunter, Rudy Gay and picks s’il vous plait
Because that offer sucks. They don’t have good picks to deal.
Quick question, does anyone know whether Pascal would still be eligible for all NBA if he’s traded at the Feb deadline?
I do think that’s the main reason why Pascal a) prefers to stay back in Toronto b) stating he would not re-sign with whoever trades for him, thereby reducing his own trade value and c) money obviously (there’s no reason why he would sign an extension now) … and also because Raptors can offer him the most money if he doesn’t make all NBA. Sucks to be in Masai’s shoes though…he doesn’t have much leverage from the looks of it
No package built around AJ GRIFFIN as the centrepiece is worth PASCAL “NBA CHAMPION” SIAKAM
