In all seriousness, someone did mention it earlier. Raptors boards noted it as well, although, they also seem to think we're trading them all our youngsters to rent Siakim.

Spud2nique Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Pacers Pursuing Pascal Siakam July 10th, 2023 at 3:49pm CST • By Rory Maher There has been increased talk around the NBA about the Raptors moving Pascal Siakam, with the Pacersviewed as a “legitimate trade contender” for the star forward, league sources tell Marc Stein at Substack. The Hawks are another team that has been repeatedly linked to Siakam, Stein notes, and other unknown teams are likely in the mix as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Sothron Posted July 11, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 the cynic in me feels the Hawks and Raps are engaging in trade talks to show the other side how serious they are about making another trade in the interest of driving up or down the package coming back to Toronto. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean that's part of the game. Creating the appearance of leverage. Hopefully LF doesn't cave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully LF doesn't cave. Certainly I think Masai and the FO know what THEY need to do, they just make so few trades and drag their legs to the door that I’m not surprised this is dragging on. If you look at their trade history most of their work is done at trade deadline trying “win” deals. The Pacers and Stein bit seems completely fabricated. Stein keeps getting further and further from being clue’d in and you can tell because he references Fischer’s work and he used to have his sources cluttered around the Mavs FO. Im interested in the mechanics of the whole trade situation whether this one or the Spurs last year. It seems there could be some generally accepted process that GMs and they assistants use to submit frameworks, get feedback, the other team does due diligence and starts examining alternatives, the 1st team checks in, and so on. im sure there are some freewheeling going on but I’d venture to guess there are “frameworks” being sent back and forth and posturing.

Hawks are definitely not one of those organizations that feels like they absolutely have to win every trade they make. Sometimes you gotta make a deal, even if it isn't necessarily a clear win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there are many FO’s that are just genuinely friendly and will make stand up moves like Presti making the Mills swap. Im sure Presti was like sure why not and people respect him that they can throw a SGA trade at him and he’ll entertain the idea just for convo. I’m sure Pelinka is friendly for example. Just a guess at an example. Id like to hear these guys talk in a room about business just to get an idea about it. I guess there might be YouTube videos out there or something of trade negotiations.

What does an extension for OO look like? It will probably be similar to Dre’s contract since he was drafted two slots below Dre and factoring in inflation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
