The Golden State Warriors Are About To Pull Off A MAJOR Trade – Pascal Siakam?
I saw them put in Pascal and kaminga in a trade and I thought about it and I was like that’s a win for both sides like obviously Golden State would have to add more just from contract meeting up but he can be a one option number one option
But that’s not where he’s the best at I think him being the second third option is where he can really shine because he’s a guy that can do a little bit of everything and I think it works perfectly playing with Steph playing with Clay they spread the floor he can
Rebound he can playmake then kaminga coming into to his own Toronto is kind of in this rebuild but ready to get better and win now mode right now they just traded for RJ quickly those are young guards they have Scotty Barnes there now then you add another young guy
Like kaminga that could be a fun team for years to come as PG talked about in that clip a straightup trade of Jonathan kaminga for Pascal cakam is a win-win situation for both teams and to make this trade scenario more realistic a recent news article came came out that
Says Jonathan kuminga has lost faith in Steve Kerr right after their collapse against the Nuggets where he got benched in the entire fourth quarter despite racking up 16 points four rebounds and four assists in just 19 minutes of play and on top of this Draymond has been
Reinstated by the NBA following his 12 game suspension which means that Draymond will be back in the lineup and Will Come Out Swinging or not with these developments going on where does Jonathan kaming stand as the trade deadline approaches I mean JK has been playing the best basketball of his
Career recently but there are a lot of instances where he would get benched for some reason and now that Draymond is back will Kerr pull out JK in the starting lineup and relegate him back on the bench just like before it’s quite clear that JK’s patience is wearing thin
And with the aforementioned scenarios going against him JK should request a trade if that’s the thing that will make him happy but to make things even more confusing and uncertain for JK the Warriors are reportedly unwilling to package kaminga in a trade to acquire Pascal cakam which means that they still
Need the potential in him as a future star which is why they’re not ready to let him go just yet but if this trade pushes through how does Pascal cakam fit in with the Warriors and more importantly with core guys like Draymond clay and Steph or whoever is left after
The trade deadline anyway following the trade of OG an anobi to the Knicks it’s pretty clear that the Raptor GM Messiah ujiri is building around Scotty Barnes and with that said we can expect cakam to be shipped out as well since he’s occupying the same position as Barnes
Now as I mentioned earlier the Warriors are unwilling to include JK in the trade package but if we’re going to propose a mock trade the dubs have to put together a compelling package such as a combination of Moody wigs and Draymond or clay Moody Plus a couple of draft
Picks in exchange for cakam and uh yeah I know that’s a lot but cakam is earning more than $37 million this year and should the Golden State Warriors go for cakam the guys that have big contracts like clay and even CP3 will have to move to match siakam’s salary this season now
Adding cakam would definitely give the Warriors a huge boost especially on the offensive end of the floor so far in over 30 games this season spice CP has been averaging 22.1 points 6.5 rebounds and five assists while shooting 52.3% from the field 29.7% from the three-point line and 75.5% from the foul
Line if Draymond gets included in the trade package the dubs are going to be getting an upgraded version of him because on top of being an all-around guy he can also put up buckets consistently which is something that the dubs are badly missing nowadays on the defensive end cakam is also a versatile
Defender who has a 7’3 wingspan and he’s more than capable of using that length to guard positions from 1 through five the lack of size has always been an issue for the dubs and even though he’s not a traditional big his 68 frame is more than enough to keep the opposing
Big busy underneath as he can rough them up down at the low block now on the flip side the Raptors would benefit a lot with the arrival of Klay Thompson as of this video the Raptors are red 24th in the league in terms of three-point percentage and even though Clay is super
Inconsistent this season he’s still capable of lighting it up from the outside from time to time and with the Raptor’s offense revolving around Scotty Barnes clay could also serve as a spot up catch and shoot guy which is a role that he always thrives in as for Moody
And just for the sake of conversation let’s throw Jonathan kuminga into the mix I think they’ll be just fine up north working under Messi ujiri both JK and kuminga have already expressed their frustration with Steve Kerr and his questionable decisionmaking as well as his leadership if the dubs go for cakam
In exchange for their two Young Guns I think it’s actually better off for JK and Moody since they’ll be getting the minutes and increased role that they’ve been craving for in a team that has been rebuilding and on the other hand the dubs will be getting an established star
In return that would keep Steph’s Championship window slightly open while competing alongside the vets that Steve Kerr always favored anyway a lineup featuring a young core of Barnes kuminga Barrett quickley and Moody looks like a solid contending team probably three or four years down the line I mean if you
Take a look a couple of Seasons back the magic were once a team filled with talented prospects that didn’t win a ton of games but right now they have improved significantly this season and are currently in a good position to enter the playoffs the same thing can
Also be said for the rockets in OKC both teams went through growing pain so to speak with their young core but now they’re reaping the rewards of their hard labor and patience should JK and Moody get traded I believe this is the path that the Raptors are going to be
Taking and a few more moves here and there by ujiri can definitely Propel this theoretical Raptors team back into contention on the cakam front the Warriors have been involved in the conversation they’ve talked to Toronto Slater said not only have they talked to Toronto Messi ujiri and Mike dun leevy
Probably had a 20-minute conversation in the tunnel the other night I saw ujiri talked to several members of The Warriors front office at various points whatever that means that means but I do know the cakam thing clearly Toronto has a level of motivation to get something done before the deadline it seems clear
Well speaking of ujiri Anthony Slater of the athletic has recently reported that the Raptors GM had a conversation with Mike Dunley together with the Warriors front office now it wasn’t stated in the report what the two GMS talked about but according to Slater it seems that Toronto really wants to unload cakam and
They’re quite motivated to get something done with him before the trade deadline now given how substantial that report is this is not yet a done deal and there are a lot of things that can still happen from this day leading up to the trade deadline but if we’re going to
Refer to that report and as well as other news that it’s coming out about the seak trade situation it all points to the fact that the Warriors are the leading candidate for the cakam sweep stakes and since this is the case let’s try to analyze how Pascal would fit
Steph and the boys in the Bay Area just for the sake of conversation given that the dubs include both Moody and kuminga in the trade package the new look Warriors would feature a lineup that is headlined by the Splash Brothers in the back court Wiggins at the three Spot
While cakam and Draymond Green Round Up the front court and if they want to use a much smaller lineup then they could start pods as their point guard Steph then moves to shooting guard clay moves to the small forward cakam and Draymond still man the front Court while Wiggins
Comes off the bench as their Sixth Man now what I like about this theoretical cakam trade is that for the first time in a long while Steph will finally have a pick and roll partner who’s considered as a legit offensive threat and not just someone who will set screens and act as
A hub to initiate their offense just like what d and Looney have been doing and the same thing can be said for the previous Bigs like patulia and bogat the last time Steph had a legit Twan game partner was when KD was still playing for the Warriors I mean although he’s
Not as lethal as KD from Beyond The Ark cakam still poses a threat as a rim roller and can deal damage around the Shaded Lane and on top of that cakam also has a solid low post game and whether his back is against the basket or he faces up cakam is just equally
Effective effective in these types of situations as he’s a Score first player who can manufacture his own shots and lastly the Warriors are nothing short of Allstars and champions and in his own right siakam is a two-time Allstar and a former NBA champ back in 2019 in which
The Raptors defeated the same team that might actually get him which makes things quite ironic and surreal at the same time now it’s just peer speculation at this point as to whether he will indeed be traded to the dubs but based on what we talked about in this video
Seaka might just be the missing piece that could turn things around for them this season but until then let’s just wait and see how the dobs will respond in the coming days
The Golden State Warriors need to make a trade and fast. Pascal Siakam could be the guy.

Siki is not that good maybe Joseph for him. He's off that team in a year anyways they don't want him so that loses value with leverage
I dont think getting rid of kuminga helps especially since kerrs brain is starting to work and give him minutes
Btw the lineup against the bulls was ridiculous
We’re not trading klay😂 if anything send Chris Paul wiggs maybe moody and send back opj
I wouldn’t trade kuminga for pascal maybe someone else but If Kuminga isn’t getting traded then we wont get anywhere. He’s our most valuable asset outside of steph that is relatively replaceable. Athletic slasher with tremendous upside but lacks handle and shooting . Also he is inconsistent defensively which isn’t good for someone with his athletic gifts .
All these other teams want the warriors trade jk
Larry mark is a better trade for sure. he is a 7 footer, can shot, play defense, more spacing. and we wouldnt have to give up Kuminga
The Warriors don't have what the Raptors are looking for (unlike say, the Pacers, who do!) , besides the salaries don't match in a trade centred on Pascal for Kuminga.
PG is on a team with 3 other Allstars I wouldn’t take that advice. Don’t even know what type of player golden state is getting in siakam dude prolly on a decline.
The trade I want to see is Gary Trent Jr and Otto Porter Jr for Andrew Wiggins.
If a Pascal trade manifests I would like to see Siakam, Dick, McDaniels for Wiggins, Kuminga, Moody, Gary Payton II, FRP. Then have Raptors waive Otto Porter Jr and GS could pick him up as well.
Your mock trades make no since? Wiggins makes 23m, Dray 22m, and moody makes 3m that’s 48m of salary. Paskal only has one year left on his contract. The trade to meet salary would CP3 and kuminga. Wiggins would be traded to the Cavs for Donovan Mitchell.
The Warriors are done
Trade Wiggins, Klay, Draymond, and get top picks for the next two drafts. You have to undo this team anyway. Get what you can by sending potential starters to teams on the second tier…76ers, Knicks, OKC, Kings, or Detroit. Get 2 firsts and a second and move on. Play the rookies and let Kuminga do his thing. He needs 20 shot attempts.
Your ass smoking crack. Ain’t trading Klay 39% 3 pt shooting for 29% 3 pt shooting get off that pipe.
A team would have to have lost their minds to want Draymond or Clay at this point especially giving up talent for them. Both are past their prime and no longer have the worth they once had. Both of those players would be a no go for me.
Warriors need to keep Kuminga n trade Wiggins. Put a package together to get Siakam n Jakob Poeltl. Or get a Center from another team like Jarrett Allen or Clint Capella.
Would siakam be a good fit for the warriors?
We honestly don't want anyone off the dubs , Wiggins and draymond are trash and would be a down grade and you can keep JK
i say wiggs , Gp2 , and moody, and picks for siakam
Lauri Markkanen to Warriors!
Knawwww Looney, Wiggins, Joseph, Garuba and Robinson should be up for grabs but everyone else has been ballin. I even think its wrong putting Wiggins up there but he can be too inconsistent. Kuminga is their future they just need to play him and moody better. They have a lot of talent tbh GP2, CP3 are hurt. TJD & Dario have been playing well. Its almost like they have too much talent and not enough play time.
Not gonna happen….
To get PSiakam who wouldmbe staying for a few months of 2024, the GSW needs to dump Klays for next years salary cap…
GSW can't afford a max on Curry, a max on Green, an expected max extension on Thompson and a new max on Siakam… Plus the vet salary on Wiggins and the rest… WTF would that look like….
The main issue with this trade, is that Pascal is a great player…
everybody wants pascal. nobody wants to pay for him. keep him toronto.
Warriors don't need another heavy scorer. Need someone that can play defense be the roll man in the pick and roll and be a rim protector. 12 and 10 guy. Trade any of these players. Wiggins cp3 looney Corey maybe cp3 and moody if needed
Yes pascal would fit great with the gsw but let me correct you
Raptors wont trade for clay Thompson because he doesn’t fit the time line there going for if that was the case they would keep pascal
The trade would have to be considered around golden states young star players, and maybe some draft picks depending on who they trade
The whole point for the Warriors to trade is to get pascal playing with curry Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green
The starting 5
Curry
Klay
Wiggins
Draymond
Pascal
he can just leave next year…we know kuminga cant leave yet. why give up our best young player. for someone who might leave
I'm not sure at siakam being a 5. They still have tjd and looney as a 5. I rather have tjd at the 5 and pascal at the 4
Kuminga and saric
Siakam as your centre? U nuts. Gotta keep dremond there.
Warrior fans think Curry wouldn’t ever leave. You’re fooling yourself. Kuminga and Moody for Pascal. Wiggins contract we can take off the warriors for a pick
