While the Raptors project seems rather vague (continuity, reconstruction?), several teams are trying to take advantage of the situation to position themselves on certain Toronto players. Today, it is the Hawks who are very interested in Pascal Siakam.
Fred VanVleet who is testing the market, OG Anunoby who still sees his name associated with a bunch of teams, it’s a bit of a confusion around the Raptors these days. Will the group stay in place despite a season without Playoffs? Isn’t it time to swap most of the frames to start a big rebuild around the talented Scottie Barnes?
If the second solution is confirmed, Pascal Siakam will not lack suitors. Author ofa new All-Star caliber season (24.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists) and justly rewarded with an invitation to the star game, the strong winger entered his prime. While he only has one year left on his contract with the Raptors, the player is undoubtedly coming to a turning point. Extend in Ontario, go to other skies?

In the meantime, some teams are closely scrutinizing his file and are ready to make an offer to Masai Ujiri, the boss of the Raptors. According to Jake Fisher of Yahoo Sports, the Hawks see Siakam as a potential reinforcement to help Atlanta return to the top spots in the East. Still according to the insider, the franchise would not like to exchange Trae Young and Dejounte Murray also seems to be on the way to a second season in Georgia. For the rest, the doors are open and we think in particular of a John Collins, the current incumbent at post 4, who continues to be announced across the country.
Still, getting Pascal Siakam will not be a piece of cake. We must already satisfy the Raptors but also get rid of competition from other teams. The Blazers have also been mentioned as a potential destination for the Cameroonian. Between Anfernee Simons and the 3rd pick in the Draft, Joe Cronin has enough to negotiate with the leaders of Toronto. Finally… it is still necessary that Siakam is really for sale and for the moment the mystery remains.
