What is the current situation of Pascal Siakam’s trade?
Siakam has a 4-year long deal with the Raptors worth $136M which makes him a free agent next year. Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report has claimed that the Raptors would love to do this deal as they are getting good players in exchange for Siakam, whose contract is expiring. He also added that the Hawks would like to sign him now as the Raptors will keep making efforts to raise his value.
The deal looks good for both teams, the Hawks would get what they have been craving for so long, and the Raptors are getting decent exchange value. Will they wait for a raise in Pascal’s value or let him go now? We’ll keep you updated.
