The Toronto Raptors’ center and forward Pascal Siakam is likely to get traded to the Sacramento Kings in the coming days. The Toronto Raptors are going through a mediocre phase and they can either go all in and make some win-now moves or they can choose to rebuild.

The 29-year-old Cameroonian international Pascal Siakam has played 29 games for the Toronto Raptors this season and has averaged 21.3 points, 5 assists, and 6.7 rebounds per game while shooting 24.5 percent from beyond the arc. The Sacramento Kings do not have any doubt about their plans, they are in win-now mode. Should they acquire Pascal to strengthen their squad?
