YES YES YES FINALLY
IT’S HAPPENING HERE WE GO
Salary has to match. 3 FRP, Hield, Brown + 1 more?
WALKER NEMBHARD OR MATHURIN HELLO?
3 firsts means neither Walker nor Mathurin for sure. Likely Brown, Hield, and the picks and that’s it.
Goes against the messaging that we want players over picks. Indiana must be holding firm on no Mathurin or Walker.

HOLYYYYYYY
It’s kinda sad seeing how Pascal’s tenure is going to end. Imo given 2-3 more years he would’ve been the GROAT.
sucks to not get any prospects back but three firsts for an expiring contract is pretty good I’d say
The Raptors and Pacers are actively engaged in trade talks centered around two-time All-Star forward Pascal Siakam that would send him to Indiana for a package that includes Bruce Brown Jr., other salaries and three first-round draft picks, league sources tell The Athletic.
3 firsts? I’m listening
fuck shams for making it seem like it’s a done deal.
Take it and run.
Thank you Pascal.
This then we can sign him back next season.
oh my its actually happening but lets see what happens considering we were close with kings aswell
Pascal is an All NBA player. Proven commodity with years of consistency > unproven 2nd or 3rd year players. Regardless of upside. Look at the SGA trade a few years ago
Hope we get Jarace.
Well guess im a pacers fan too now😭😭😭😭
FUCK YOU RAPTORS, I wanted siakam to stay
I love scottie but FUCKKKKK
Last time Shams did this was with the kings and then hours later said “talks are over” lmao I dont wanna get my hopes up again
Hereeeee we go! -Fabrizio Romano
Brown, Hield, Smith + 3 FRPs for Pascal, Boucher
Masai and Bobby don’t miss very often when they draft in the last first round so we here
3 first for a rental
This tweet means Pascal is about to re-sign. I might not be 100% correct here, but Ujiri doesn’t get scooped. The OG trade came out of nowhere, the kawhi trade, Lowry was as good as gone according to the insiders and he kept him. How many times was he about to trade OG?
If I had actual disposable income to bet, I would find somewhere to bet on Pascal re-signing to a near max deal lol.
[We’re in the endgame folks, giddy up ⏳](https://youtu.be/9jK-NcRmVcw?si=pnb4eP-J5nF8u5YG)
Buddy can slot in as our SF.. I’m pumped… always wanted buddy
so if we did the following instead:
og for brown + 3frps
pascal for iq + rj + detroit 2nd
how would y’all feel?
Pacers fan, if it’s 3 firsts, buddy, and bruce, I am a-ok with this. We’ll take good care of him yall. Have a BLAST with buddy.
Its happening!
I doubt any of these picks will end up being anything too good. Hopefully management can use them as currency in other deals.
Sure. Just do it already.
Sure. Just do it already.
I’d love to at least get Jalen Smith or Nembhard in a Pick-based deal
Damn were not even gonna get Nembhard that’s tuff
masai may be putting this out there for dallas and other teams to up their offers.
This is kinda funny because every sports media podcast after the OG trade was like, “picks are dumb! Masai is right, get young players” and now Masai is getting picks
Tanked his worth so badly… Should’ve traded him and FVV last season fr, we’re a charity.
I don’t want 3 late firsts. I want a young high ceiling player. Even if only one player.The idea that we could end up with absolutely nothing long term for a player of Siakams caliber does not feel good to me. Give me Mathurin. Walker. Kuminga. Podziemski, but a trade that doesn’t include any of them and seems destined to be 3 late firsts 🥺
I’m assuming its the 2 2024 picks in the 20’s and a 2026, solid but idk if that deal is enticing enough to pull the trigger this early before the deadline
Just resign him nobody wants 3 garbage picks with protection
