Pascal Siakam would NOT be excited about trade to Kings

Pascal Siakam would NOT be excited about trade to Kings

Oh you gotta love deadline time we’re like a month out from the NBA trade deadline rumors Galore the last week involving the Sacramento Kings and Pascal cakam and Morgan we got a fresh one this morning from the athletic Sam Amic says that se yakum would not be excited if he were traded to

Sacramento in fact in the report he says it would be a rental according to two League sources the king should have very little if any optimism regarding the prospect of seak reigning in the summer if they were to land him uh he also goes on to say well seak and the Raptors

Could agree to an extension but if he ends up getting moved he is seeking a full-term Max salary deal no matter where he ultimately lands and while sakam has not asked for a trade the sources say he doesn’t view the Kings as a good long-term fit if the Raptors

Choose to move him so Morgan Reagan your reaction to the news that seaka would not be excited if he were trade the Sacramento um I kind of want to be like bye peace out don’t need you anyway uh I think that’s me coming from a protecting what not only the city but I

Believe that this organization has to offer um I also think sometimes when we read and see these pieces and see what agents put out they go how can I find a place a home for my client where he can make the most money how can he make the

Most money in Sacramento in a small market and do the BL blah it’s confusing to me sometimes because I kind of go don’t knock it until you try it I mean we’ve how many times do we need to talk about Chris Weber not wanting to come to Sacramento

And then ends up being here and then having this fantastic career here in Sacramento this fantastic life off the floor in Sacramento you know ends up being able to build off of that in after his basketball career as well as a broadcaster and everything I don’t know it’s it’s frustrating to

Hear um I I understand it I just hope and because I don’t want to speculate but I hope it’s not Pascal sakam that is the one that’s really being like no no no I don’t want to go there I hope it’s just the stupid agents that actually

Toned deaf and have no freaking clue no Mor I’m sure it’s him and I think it’s something we talked about a couple of days ago when these rumors were cropping up I’m of the belief that seum views himself as a stud and he has been right an all-nba player he’s a champion he’s

Made the All-Star team a couple of times and I think maybe him coming to Sacramento he views it as man Fox and sabonis those are the two Allstars there those are the guys they’ve got the ball a lot am I going to get the touches that

I want to to get all the time you know am I going to have to take a backseat to them some nights I want to be a huge part of whatever they’re doing and I think he would be but there could be some Knights he’s option three there

Could be some Knights he’s option one I think with how the king’s offense functions it depends but we know the importance of fox and sabonis so maybe he’s not excited about that Prospect because he views himself as maybe better than Fox and sabonis of course we’re all speculating here here right but that’s

Just one thought I had about the situation and like it’s to me it’s disappointing to hear that like that a player wouldn’t want to be in Sacramento right because that’s kind of been the rap it’s so hard for these small Market teams like a Sacramento to land these

Guys and you got to take risks like you mentioned the Chris Weber one when they trade Mitch Richmond to get him Chris Weber didn’t show up on the first day of camp they had to convince him he said he wasn’t showing up and it ends up being

Okay I I guess the next question is if you’re Sacramento and you read this today I’m well I’m sure they already know this I don’t think uh Monty McNair read the athletic and go oh I guess we can’t trade for him now you read their athletic today um but you

Know is it a gamble you could still take if you reached the deal do you go you know what that’s fine he says that but the one sentence in here that jumps out to me SE yakum is Seeking a full-term Max salary deal no matter where he ultimately lands well he comes to

Sacramento they can pay him more more than anybody yep so sure he could walk at the end but he’s going to leave money on the table now it it’s happened before right Toronto’s actually felt this when they traded for kawh Leonard they won a championship they had his bird rights

They could offer him the the most money he elected to leave some money on the table at least with that salary and go play for the LA Clippers so it there there’s definitely a gamble in the in these situations but it it’s I don’t

Know I I I I’m trying to figure out like what why he wouldn’t want to be here you know what is that and maybe it’s look they yes they had one good season right the Kings had one good season they had a couple of All-Star appearances but for

The most part they’ve been a losing franchise I think too if you look at how there were reports like oh maybe he’d want to he’d want to be with the Warriors or whoever like no doesn’t everyone want to be with Steph hurry it’s like come on but at the same time

Too that’s going to be an organization that goes a different direction after Steph Curry now if Pascal siakam’s there they still have you know this positive future having a piece like him there but you still got to put some around him you still got to have pieces around

Him and I just look at where Sacramento is with their youth their style of play um their organizations going in the right direction their facilities and I’m of course I’m biased I am born and raised in Sacramento I love the out of Sacramento but I’ve also I’ve talked

To a lot of the guys on this team and talking about the amount of joy that they feel playing in Sacramento whether they’re not playing and they’re seeing bench time or they are seeing time on the floor they’re enjoying this basketball they’re enjoying this team and I just think that is so very

Important I don’t I don’t think that gets overlooked by some of these smart players out there that are like look I want to be happy going to my job every day but I also think sometimes the glitz and the Glam and the bigger names whether it’s bigger name players or

Bigger name organization or bigger name City can be like very appealing at times when really you have to take a step back and go but where can I play my best basketball what style is going to fit me and I think that is something that players used to not ask themselves

Enough where I think there really are so many more players in this day and age that care about their bodies care don’t care about the partying and really want to be the best that they can be on and off the floor so I guess my question for you

Morgan is does this report phase you SE yakum would not be excited to play in Sacramento Little optimism about being able to stay in Sacramento if he gets traded there do you cross him off your trade Target list at this point you know I feel like this is information we

Already kind of knew right and I feel like we kind of know this with probably a lot of most people most players in the NBA but when you see it put out there in writing or it’s reported is when it’s like a little bit of a dagger to the

Heart where I do take it personally and I go well I don’t want you either like you’re not gonna make this a championship team you alone you’re not gonna make this a championship team I’ve I’ve gone back and forth on this I’d almost still consider it if you

Can get a deal done because because I like all the things you listed right like hey the city you spend some time here be around the facility be around some of the guys talk to Mike Brown and then all of a sudden you start winning

Maybe he goes well it wasn’t too bad you know actually they can pay me more I I’ll stick it out here I I don’t know I it’s today wasn’t oh seum does not want to go to Sacramento if he gets traded there he won’t show up

Today was seak would not be excited and there’s little optimism that he would resign there it’s like okay I mean that’s like a way of trying to force you know put it out there that oh he doesn’t have interest there maybe to you know scare off the Kings or

Something like that I don’t know I I think there is there’s absolutely that tactic tactic being used which is smart when you want to play somewhere you want to make sure that you’re uh manipulating people like your your agent is right like it’s not it’s your Camp it’s not you saying I don’t

Want to play there I wouldn’t resign there it’s your Camp is saying that or however the hell they want to you know use that in a story but either way I’m so with you where I’m I’m under the impression like you can convince someone to live here one it’s California you’re

90 minutes away from the city you’re 90 minutes away from snow and Tahoe and all these wonderful things I mean on top of that like there’s beachs Galore everywhere and I just I say this is this are you hoping tiak watches This and like well you know what I didn’t

Consider the proximity to Lake Tahoe in San Francisco don’t give a I don’t give a if he’s watching he’s not one but two but two like I just I I think sometimes that alone just being in California does get over overlooked and and I’m not going to talk about a

One-on-one that I had the other day with somebody who said that they are so glad to be here because it’s such a perfect location and I think just to be clear it’s a bonus I was giving crap for to Morgan for mentioning it 800 times yeah

I’m with you on that I I hear you and and even dece you and I like just to go behind the scenes like we’ve had people around the NBA especially like during the playoffs come here in Sacramento and they go oh I didn’t realize how much

Food in and drinks and great places the city actually has and it’s like yeah nobody does because everyone thinks about as Old Cow Town you know where Arco used to be and it’s like you guys I don’t know if you know this time has happened things have changed places have

Grown like you have to accept that it’s a different place than it was 20 years ago yeah I mean I I again we’re 100% speculating like I don’t know where the city ranks in terms of seum looking at Sacramento I do think fit actually matters a little bit to him too and

That’s where we go back to the fox and sabonis thing I guess the next angle on this whole thing too you know if sakam is I’m sure he’s having conversations with msai yiri those guys go way back like they have a relationship okay do you think Messi listens to seak and goes

You know what no I know I I disagree with that I think especially if there’s a chance they could give him him an extension I think this is how it’s going to play out I don’t think think zakum wants to go to Sacramento and I think messiah’s like fine that’s cool um let’s

Try to work out an extension we’ll keep you here and I think that’s almost the best route for the Raptors sign him to an extension you know he’s a good player he’s been an all NBA talent and what you do is if you feel like you do want to

Make a move then you trade him next year be and now you’re in a situation where these teams are trying to get SE yakum they they have complete control where he’s got like a four year four years left on his deal and now you’re getting more assets I think right now Toronto’s

Just not getting the type of um offers that they would anticipate for a player of his caliber because of the free agent status of SE yakum and that’s why the Sacramento stuff’s coming out because I think the Sacramento stuff got pretty serious yeah no I’m I’m totally with you

I’m sure it did get serious and I’m sure they felt like okay can we get a lot of assets can we get a lot of different things from Sacramento and go in that direction but I think I mean you’re not wrong I think it’s a it’s a it would be

Smart if they could get him to resign and obviously go in that direction and try and get more out of him even next season when a team could have more control over him and and look I mean maybe maybe it’s even a situation where you go can we repair this relationship

You know we have Scotty Barnes we have this passionate coach I don’t know if you saw him going off about Scotty Barnes not getting C the other night and just like sticking up for his guy like we have things here um but if that relationship can’t repair

Can they at least get that contract done so they can end up uh you know selling Pascal SE yakum for more where the Kings probably wouldn’t be in the mix at that point and you know what if that’s the case too and the kings are seeing this whole situation I’m glad here’s here’s

The other thing too Duce so many people always want to complain around trade deadline the Kings aren’t being aggressive the king aren’t doing anything well the kings are in this talk the kings are in this chatter right now and sure if they don’t get things done yeah it’s frustrating it’s like who

Gives a if they’re in the talk if they’re not getting anything done but at the same time it’s not trade deadline yet you just hope that the Kings can remain uh in this chatter not only with Pascal seak but with whoever else is going to be out there so we’ll be live

Talking about Kings and hornets tonight and about the latest development involving SE yakum in the comments below let us know what you think about about this development about seum not being excited if he gets traded to Sacramento would you move on and if you want to
