NBA Trade Rumors: 3 Landing spots that make most sense for Pascal Siakam
Brooklyn Nets
It wouldn’t be all that surprising if we found out that the Brooklyn Nets were one of the teams in discussions to possibly acquire Pascal Siakam. The Nets did a great job in their pivot away from Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Instead of moving toward a rebuild after trading KD and Kyrie, they did well in acquiring talent that could help them remain competitive in the Eastern Conference. And they could be a Siakam move away from being one of the more intriguing teams heading into the 2023-24 season.
If nothing else, a trio of Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, and Siakam would offer quite the intrigue for the Nets. I’m not sure how far that trio is enough to compete for a championship but as Bridges and Johnson continue to grow as players, they could emerge as one o the most dangerous teams in the East.
The big reason why the Nets could emerge as a natural trade partner for the Raptors is the fact that they have plenty of appealing future first-round picks that they could offer in any deal for a star. If Toronto was looking for a boatload of picks in exchange for Siakam, Brooklyn would be a plausible trade partner.
