Pascal Siakam, the Toronto Raptors’ power forward, has grabbed this many headlines without requesting a trade. While Damian and Harden asked for a move to the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers, respectively, the Cameroonian does not want to leave.
Pascal probably had the best season of his career, which earned him a place in the NBA All-Star. Why do the Raptors want to trade him? Probably because they do not know if he would extend or not, and if he does not, they would not like to let him go for free. In addition to that, he consumes a lot of salary space. So, here are 4 teams that Pascal Siakam is most likely to be a part of in the next season.
Pascal Siakam to the Miami Heat?
Even though Miami and Damian are mad at each other at the moment, if thought over practically, Pascal’s arrival would make the Heats invincible. But the Heats have Jimmy Butler and Barn Adebayo, and they might not be interested in getting him. The grass is not green on the other side as well. The Raptors will get Robinson or Herro, along with a few draft picks. Are they really this desperate to send Pascal off?
Pascal Siakam to the Philadelphia Sixers?
Joel Embiid and Pascal Siakam together would be a nightmare for the opponents. The two countrymen would run riots on the floor and here, the Raptors would get a good enough exchange value for their player. Tyrese Maxey or Tobias Harris with a decent amount of draft picks, Isn’t this what the Raptors are looking for?
The Raptors would only consider trading Pascal Siakam if they were to receive a trade involving ‘established players' in return.

Pascal Siakam to the New York Knicks?
Siakam would enhance the quality of the play at the Knicks while playing alongside Brunson. He has a champion mentality, something which they need. But can they offer the value which the Raptors expect? If they want to do this deal, either Barrett or Randle would have to go.

Pascal Siakam to the Denver Nuggets?
The Raptors can expect Murray or Michael in exchange for their power forward. It would be interesting to see him on the floor with Jokic in Denver. Can the Nuggets pull this off?
Would the Raptors really trade their star? Where would he go? The Pacers? The Hawks? Any of the four above? We’ll keep you updated.
