The Memphis Grizzlies had a disappointing NBA Season last year, due to which they were looking for a change. Pascal Siakam of the Toronto Raptors could be acquired by the Grizzlies since he fits perfectly well on their roster.
Before making this bold move, the Grizzlies traded their Dillion Brooks along with Tyus Jones. Although acquiring Marcus Smart was a good move, adding Pascal to their team would be an even better move for the Grizzlies.
The Pascal Siakam Trade Proposal
- The Toronto Raptors will receive the guard-forward Luke Kennard, the forward center Brandon Clarke, the guard-forward Ziaire Williams, the 2024 First-Round Draft Pick, the 2025 First Round Draft Pick, the 2027 First Round Draft Pick, and the 2029 First-Round Draft Pick.
- In exchange, the Memphis Grizzlies will receive the forward center Pascal Siakam.
A Pascal Siakam trade is viewed as ‘inevitable,’ per @MarkG_Medina

Why the Toronto Raptors Want This Deal?
There are many reasons why the Raptors believe they should trade their forward center player, Pascal Siakm. For instance, they want to learn from their past mistakes.
The Raptors traded their VanVleet without any significant return, and this is one of the reasons why they don’t want to repeat the same mistake for Pascal’s trade.
This is the perfect time to trade Pascal, but they need to find out the best offer for their star player.
The Raptors will receive Ziaire Williams, who can have a solid combo with Brandon Clarke. Plus, they are getting the first-round draft picks without any protection, which is a highly valuable return for them.

Why the Memphis Grizzlies Want This Deal?
The Memphis Grizzlies are acquiring the best player, which makes it a worthwhile investment for them. As they want to win the upcoming season, they are looking to acquire star players like Siakam.
Even though they are trading for star players like Siakam, they are not letting their core players like Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. go away.
