It’s unclear what the Toronto Raptors intend to do this offseason. Not very active in the direction of arrivals, with the signatures of Dennis Schroeder et Jalen McDaniels, the Canadians have lost Fred VanVleet and seem to be sitting between two chairs a bit. The eyes of observers are therefore riveted on Pascal Siakam, the only All-Star available to the Raptors at the moment.
D‘after Michael Grange of Sportsnet, two teams discuss daily with Masai Ujiri, the GM of the franchise, to bring Siakam. These are the Atlanta Hawks, whose interest had already been relayed in recent days, but also the Indiana Pacers, very interested in the idea of taking an additional step with the help of “Spicy-P”. Unlike other members of the Raptors, Pascal Siakam didn’t travel to Las Vegas to watch the Summer League and, according to Grange, that’s as much because of trade rumors as the franchise’s struggles to offer him a home. worthy extension.
Last season, Pascal Siakam was still on impressive averages with 24.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. This had allowed him to win his second selection for the All-Star Game after that of 2020. In Atlanta, a trio with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray would make sense. At the Pacers, a one-two punch with Tyrese Haliburton would look great.
It should still be noted that the priority displayed by Pascal Siakam is to stay in Toronto. It is within this franchise that he arrived in the NBA and it is also there that he contributed greatly to the quest for the title in 2019, with a victory against the Golden State Warriors.
Pascal Siakam soon to the Hawks ?
