What The Indiana Pacers Just Pulled With Pascal Siakam Doesn’t Make Any Sense

When the Toronto Raptors successfully traded away OG and anobi and route to bettering their team while also drastically improving the future outlook of their squad we all sort of collectively started to wonder what in the world does this mean for Pascal cakam and now we finally have an answer

Eligibility requirements and overdraft limits apply guys definitely show Chim some love for coming through and sponsoring today’s content cakam who is on an expiring contract this season has done so much for this Raptor team over the years even helping them win their first championship alongside kawhai Leonard in

2019 although Kawai would abandon the Raptors opting for what he felt was greener pastures in Los Angeles thinking that the Raptors didn’t have what it took to repeat and win another title the the NBA’s most improved player would remain committed to the cause in Toronto just continuing to work in an effort to

Improve season after season since winning that NBA title in 2019 seaka would make the All-Star Game twice actually starting in it in 2020 and he would also make the all NBA team twice also actually making the second team in 2020 which fair warning seaka making these all NBA teams would be huge for

Him and you’ll find out exactly why in just a second you would think that all of siakam’s hard work loyalty and continued Improvement would at least get him some respect when it came to even just potentially remaining in Toronto but it didn’t reportedly the Toronto Raptors cut off almost all communication

With Pascal cakam last summer this would lead to the seven-year vet wondering if he were being punished for something this would also lead to him feeling bewildered and heartbroken which I completely understand SE yakum did everything right for the Raptors exceeding all expectations and the team that he grew with couldn’t even be

Straight up with him that is tough this whole situation stinks of irony because even if you had planned to eventually trade Pascal SE yakum I’m not sure how extending him this past off season would have hurt your team if anything it would have made this man much more valuable

Than he already was because any team interested in him wouldn’t have to have been worried about this man leaving this upcoming off season maybe Messiah thought the SE yakum trying to make an all NBA team this season for that super max would raise his trade value or maybe

He thought that he was for sure getting a trade done this past offseason no matter what well regardless of whatever thought process was used for this situation it would end up being a great detriment to his Market at one point the Sacramento Kings straight up withdrew their interest in Pascal cakam because

They had no idea what he was going to do this offseason after they traded for him which is no surprise at all when you are a GM and you are thinking about investing the amount of assets into a player that could get you fired if a

Trade goes wrong at the very least what you want is some sort of commitment from that player that you were trading for that is unless you’re you Jeri who pulled off the best short-term rental in the history of basketball look don’t be mad at me we just have to give this guys

Props when they’re due when you play the game sometimes you get the best of the game and sometimes the game gets the best of you if you ask me trading is all about risk management is that potential risk worth the potential reward if it is than you do it and that’s what the

Pacers did but there is a nasty catch so check it out Pascal cakam saying that he was testing free agency no matter what scared off a lot of teams from offering anything substantial but it didn’t scare off the Indiana Pacers the Pacers were young hungry and ready to make a splash

And they did the Pacers would receive Pascal cakam and the future second round pick while the Raptors would have received Bruce Brown Jordan Nora two 2024 first round picks and a 2026 first round pick so one of the 2024 first being traded to Toronto would be one of

Their own and the other will be the worst of the Jazz Rockets Clippers or Thunders pick and that 2026 pick that’s going to Toronto will also be the Pacers own pick guys those firsts are terrible unless yakum is a double agent and somehow internally destroys the team as

The season progresses I can’t see those picks being very good for the Toronto Raptors my initial thought upon seeing this trade was that this this is nothing for a player of siakam’s caliber and that thought was Amplified when I heard that Pascal cakam is excited about this

Move to the Pacers and also hopes to work out a new contract with the team in the summer to make this entire thing more comical WJ would say that siakam’s preferred destination all along was Indiana and that he was in constant communication with Tyrese halberton this whole time according to WJ if cakam

Didn’t land in Indiana ahead of the trade deadline there was this giant chance that he would have just bolted for Indiana when free agency started this off season this speaks volumes to how far that the Pacers have come and it also speaks volumes about how impactful

A player like Tyrese halberton is the SE yakum Camp loved this move so much that even his agent was gushing over the move saying that I’m excited that Pascal is getting a first class opportunity with the Pacers being paired with Tyrese halberton and Miles Turner and being

Coached by a great coach in Rick Carlile his future looks bright all of this goes against all of those earlier rumors that said that Pascal cakam was ready to test the free agency market no matter what now it’s clear that all of these leaks about SE yakum saying he wouldn’t resign

Anywhere were just leverage plays and siakam’s way of sticking it to the Raptors SE yakum doing what he did resulted in the Toronto Raptors not even getting any of the Pacers young Talent back and to me that’s kind of Bonkers you mean to tell me that you didn’t have

To throw in Ben Maan jerus Walker or and Andrew NIMH hard and you were able to walk away with the Pascal cakam who was ready to commit to your team long term that right there is amazing these guys didn’t even have to give up guys like

Jayen Smith or Obie toppen who has been having a historical highlight real season guys this team has an abundance of talent Indiana fans should be in for an incredibly fun ride the Pacers already had the NBA’s number one rated offense and now they add Pascal cakam

Who is a terror downhill in both the open floor and half court to their floor ping Up Tempo system I can already see Tyrese halberton who has been leading the league in assist per game at 12.5 throwing this man some silly dimes as SE yakum wonders how in the world did I get

This open by the way SE yakum can also be an impact player on defense playing next to the rim protecting Miles Turner having the ability to guard multiple positions so let’s hope that he just decides to play defense in Indie because they could definitely use help on that

Side of the basketball with their defense ranking the fourth worst in the entire NBA now I’ve heard a lot of talk about Pascal’s timeline not matching up with halberton and I think that all of that is overblown cakam is only 29 he’s not some fossil he’s the perfect guy to

Help mentor and Advance some of your younger players while helping to put them in meaningful situations when cakam finally does start to decline the timing will be perfect as he should be ready to pass the torch to the next generation of Pacer players as for the Raptors they

Made this bed for themselves but absent of context it’s hard to be about getting three first for an expiring contract though the Pacers haven’t drafted well over the years this guy yuiri who is getting those first from Indiana has an ey for talent this was another one of

Those moves that made sense for both sides even if I do love one side more than the other with that side clearly being the Pacers personally I like the ogan noi trade better than this one for Toronto but again it’s hard to be mad at this one especially if you’re now able

To tank and recoup that top six protected pick this year that you traded for yaka ptle which just has to be the plan remember the Spurs made it ugly once they traded to jeon Murray and they got wimy out of that the Raptors could do the same thing and get Alex SAR who

Is a Do-it all 71 problem so don’t mind me guys I’m just going to go ahead and add jonte Porter in fantasy because I’m anticipating things getting very ugly in Toronto Raptors fans let me know who you think the pickup is going to be if

Things do get ugly in Toronto I need to find me another Skyler maze now the Raptors return for both ogan and noi and Pascal cakam is on the screen let me know what you guys think of this return which mind you that as good as these players are they still were on expiring

Contracts also let me know what you think about the Pacers now are they a contender personally I could see this team making some serious noise in the Eastern Conference I mean you look at it and they’ve been right in the thick of things and they didn’t get any worse by

Any measure but again that’s just how I feel let me know how you feel down in the comments below clicking the video on the screen right now is a great way to support my channel I’m get like coup bringing you guys the scoop until our next upload
