Five Pascal Siakam trade scenarios should Raptors move on from star
Plus, he will turn 30 next April, while Scottie Barnes will turn just 22 next month and Dick is 20 in November. If those two key building blocks are still a few years away from their prime, does it make sense to keep going with Siakam, too? .
It’s still more likely than not that Siakam stays put, given how hard it is to get two sides to agree to a deal of this magnitude, but let’s take a look at some theoretical ideas that might make sense should another Raptors great find a new home:Atlanta has been after Siakam for a while now, including at the trade deadline and again this summer. There are two different types of packages the Hawks could offer.
Murray isn’t a great outside shooter either , but he can create and would pair Anunoby and Poeltl with yet another top-tier defender.If Murray isn’t involved, two-way swingman De’Andre Hunter, the No. 4 pick of the 2019 draft, and/or sharpshooter Bogdan Bogdanovic would need to be in a deal to make the dollars work.Wouldn’t this be something? Toronto would love to have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but that isn’t happening.
The Thunder has about 500 extra first-round picks to offer, plus Cason Wallace , maybe Quebecer Lu Dort , intriguing prospect Ousmane Dieng and Jaylin Williams . Any package centred around draft capital has to start with the Thunder.Memphis probably can’t afford to do this as more than a one-season rental because their long-term commitments are too great, so the return wouldn’t be spectacular.
