Pascal Siakam and the Toronto Raptors are doing the exact opposite of what we have seen this off-season. Damian and Harden want to leave, but their respective teams want to keep them, but in the Pascal scenario, the player wants to stay, but the Raptors are looking for a probable destination for him.
Pascal had brilliant stats last season, probably the best he ever had, and he made it to the NBA All-Star. We don’t know why the Raptors are pushing for a trade, maybe because he is earning a lot, and his age leaves the Raptors confused about his extension. So, rather than letting him go for free , they are trying to trade him. The exact reason is unknown, but we can speculate Pascal’s probable destination. Here is all you need to know about Pascal Siakam and his future team!
Pascal Siakam to the Atlanta Hawks?
The Hawks have been trying to land Pascal Siakam for a long time. Even though they don’t have very lucrative offers to make, they still can pull off this signing. They have Murray, Hunter, and Bogdan to build their package, but would it be able to satisfy the Raptors? Trae Young might be the key if they are really desperate for a trade.

Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers?
The Pacers are set to build their roster around Haliburton and Pascal looks like a perfect fit as a No.2 behind him. They can offer Hield, Smith, and a few draft picks in exchange for the power forward. The Raptors would love to get a young core as they are in their rebuilding phase. The deal looks good for both teams, but would it go through?
Pascal Siakam is not interested in signing a contract extension with any team that trades for him, per @TheSteinLine

Pascal Siakam to the Portland Trail Blazers?
The Blazers are struggling with the Damian Lillard situation. This might come as an aid for them. Miami, Portland, and Toronto can do a three-team trade which would give Lillard what he desires, and the Blazers would also get a decent value for their star. It looks like the best option for the Raptors.
Are the Raptors going to send Pascal away against his desire and if yes, where would it be? We will keep you updated.
