The Mavericks should be considered a “dark horse” candidate to land Pascal Siakam.
Dallas’ trade package would presumably consist of Tim Hardaway Jr., Richaun Holmes, Josh Green, and a future first-round pick.
Toronto has held previous interest in 23-year-old wing Josh Green.

Who is Jake Weinbach?
Edit: On his twitter it says he is mostly connected to the Bucks, why would he know what Mavs and Raptors are planning?

uhuh. I’m sure raptors would agree to that
For anyone who thinks thats not a good package, Pascal is on a expiring contract and does not want to promise an extension for a team who trades for him. Thats an overpay. Lol
I don’t feel comfortable trading a ton for a UFA
Nope! Not for a guy leaving in the summer
Nah it’s not happening, we ain’t dumb enough to trade for a guy who’s gonna walk
Too much, even if he agrees to re-sign. Siakam is not the same player since he was an all-star.
Trading a a ton of role players for one guy. What could go wrong?!
That’s the only package that makes sense given the size of his salary.
swap out Green for Hardy then perfectly fine with it.
​
Just shedding chuckers Hardy, THJ is and upgrade
Fuck fucking no. Pls no.
The fit worries me. His shooting on wide open shots is just 32% while on open shots is just 18%. Overall his percentage is declining. I’m not sure if even Luka can even affect his shooting percentage. (while typing this he has made three 3points against Cavs. Lol)
Despite of THJ inconsistency, he is our only VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT shooter besides Kyrie, that has gravity a la Duncan Robinson. He can just rise up and shoot those threes. Unlike Seth, he can’t just pull off those shots because of his size and slow release.
I’d rather wait on free agency about Pascal. Or explore another trade candidate that is a smoother fit (back up big, lengthy 3 n D wing)
On a contract year? That’s an overpay. Take Josh Green out and make it two second-rounds picks instead of a first-round
Not for a rental
Pascal gets all his stats from garbage time. Dude is not the star he was. Toronto is moving on from him for a reason, he can’t lead his team and Scottie is that dude over there now. Now granted Pascal with Kyrie and Luka on the floor will be nasty. But will he stay if we trade for him tho
so he can leave in FA? No.
I’m good. Too much for him.
No way Toronto takes that
If Siakam won’t resign, what other free agents can we get from that space?
I’m surprised so many people don’t want the chance to make the finals lmao. If that’s all the trade packages is and Luka is down with it there’s not gotdamn way we shouldn’t do it
Yes
This is less than we gave up for Kyrie even. Let’s say we did this, Pascal walked and we then didn’t get THJ, Green, Holmes or the 1st back. I am only mad about the 1st and even then its most likely not a top 15 pick realistically. I would do this and only for a guy like Siakam.
Siakam is not a good fit and too expensive.
yeah. I’d do it.
Giving up Green for a guy who may not re sign is wild. Green is 23 with major upside and tbh we never have home grown talent. It would be nice to keep him and Hardy as long as we can
