NBA Trade Talks: Warriors’ Chance to Land Pascal Siakam Goes Higher as Major Suitor Pulls Out

It looks like the Toronto Raptors are going all-in on their rebuild. After losing veteran guard Fred VanVleet last season, they are looking for trade offers for their superstar Pascal Siakam. Since the rumors broke out, there have been several teams interested in acquiring the 29-year-old Forward because of what he can bring to their team. Reportedly, the Golden State Warriors are also among the interested teams.

According to the latest update, Stephen Curry & co. bumped their chances to land Pascal Siakam as a major suitor pulled out from their trade offer.

Major update on Pascal Siakam’s trade talks

NBA Insider Shams Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings are deciding to pull out of the Pascal Siakam trade talks. Although things can be fluid, the talks between the Kings and the Raptors are over for now. The Kings had reportedly made an offer for Siakam in hopes of forming a Big 3 in Sacramento. They wanted Siakam to play alongside superstars De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. That would have been a major addition to the Kings’ roster and helped them make a deeper run in the playoffs. However, the Kings will have to keep those dreams aside for now.

Meanwhile, the Kings pulling out of the trade talks could prove great news for the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry and Co. are having major struggles this season, and they might be in desperate need of a new superstar. There have been rumors about the Warriors emerging as the dark horse for Siakam’s new trade destination. If that is the case, Siakam might be a great addition to the struggling Warriors roster.

How does Pascal Siakam fit with the Golden State Warriors?

Stephen Curry and Co. blew an 18-point lead against the Denver Nuggets in the last game. Their performance in the fourth quarter was a glimpse into how their season has gone so far. The Warriors have been struggling the entire season, either due to off-court drama or bad chemistry on the floor. If the rumors about the Warriors pursuing Pascal Siakam are true, he could help Stephen Curry and Co. turn their season around. Siakam is a solid 20+ point scorer, and he has been the star of the Raptors team for many years.

The Warriors could use Siakam’s two-way presence and championship experience. Golden State’s 21-year-old forward Jonathan Kuminga could be the centerpiece of the trade if the Warriors decide to make an offer to the Raptors. Kuminga is having a tough time dealing with his minutes in the rotation and he could be the perfect young player for the Raptors rebuild. Do you believe the Warriors should make a move to acquire Pascal Siakam?
