As mentioned with OG, due to the Raptors’ poor season to date and the plethora of assets they own, the front office may decide to sell off their top guys and prepare for a brighter future. However, a deal involving Pascal Siakam seems unlikely.

On a recent episode of The Hoop Collective Podcast, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst stated:

"“I would be stunned if they trade Siakam.” “Yes,” replied Tim MacMahon. “I think that’s the least likely thing they’d be trading.”"

I would agree with that too,” interjected Tim Bontempts.

All three, Windhorst, MacMahon, and Bontempts, are very connected NBA insiders. If none of them are hearing Siakam’s name come up in trade talks, I would heavily lean toward Siakam staying in Toronto for the remainder of the season.
