Warriors, Raptors have discussed a Pascal Siakam trade in recent weeks
Golden State’s take: Let’s start here: These teams have discussed Siakam in recent weeks. I’ve heard that on a more substantial level and saw Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Masai Ujiri in the tunnel pregame on Sunday night having a drawn-out conversation. So there’s something potentially there. I’d wager the Warriors view that proposal — Kuminga, two firsts and a valuable expiring salary — as too steep. Paul’s contract is useful for them because they’re trying to duck the second apron this summer and Siakam, if acquired, would presumably be ticketed as an expensive part of their future. — Anthony Slater

I’m sorry. But it’s not trolling to scoff at notion that Warriors can just “trade for” a guy like Markkanen, or Siakam or LaVine or insert sorta star here. – 12:40 AM

The Raptors are seeing what life is like without either Kawhi Leonard or Pascal Siakam tonight. It looks alright (better if they aren’t actually playing Kawhi, though). – 12:04 AM

Darko’s first 4 subs, without Siakam and Poeltl on the second night of a back-to-back: Jontay Porter, Gary Trent Jr, Jalen McDaniels and Garrett Temple, who (I believe) is getting his first non-garbage time minutes of the season. – 10:57 PM

The Pacers are “very, very determined” to not include Jarace Walker in any trade, per @wojespn.
Indiana is very high on Walker’s long-term potential, as are other teams around the league.
In a potential Pascal Siakam trade, Walker could be a key sticking point in negotiations. pic.twitter.com/QDPw5pjXpy – 1:13 PM

Here’s a stat you wouldn’t expect: Pascal Siakam has shot 61.1% from three over the last five games, fourth-best in the NBA in that span (minimum 10 attempts). Others above 50% in that span include Norm, Canadians SGA, RJ Barrett, Lyles … – 1:06 PM

The Pacers are viewed by rival executives as the “leaders in this pack” to potentially acquire Pascal Siakam, per @sam_amick (theathletic.com/5192109/2024/0…).

The latest from @sam_amick: “Siakam would not be excited if he were traded to Sacramento…he doesn’t view the Kings as a good long-term fit if the Raptors choose to move him.”

More on this storyline
To that end, I contacted six writers at The Athletic to talk about potential Siakam trades. For clarity’s sake, I told them all that Siakam would not sign an extension with their teams during this season, as he wants to explore free agency. However, he would be open-minded about staying where he is dealt, and all things being equal, a strong monetary offer would rule the day. -via The Athletic / January 11, 2024
