New Huge NBA Trade No One is Talking About

when Jabari Smith Jr hit an insane game-winner at Summer League the first thing he did was run over to his vet even Kenyan Martin celebrated even though he was just traded at the Warriors summer league you see Steph and CP3 supporting no stars too important to show love for his rookies except one poor lottery pick young Grady dick was hitting beautiful Jumpers in front of zero vets obviously Fred Van Vleet is off to Houston but what about Pascal siacom why is the best player on the team a no-show in Vegas in fact right now he has completely cut off from the team why is he so mad there were rumors siakum could get traded after they lost Van Vleet but Pascal immediately leaked he wants to stay a raptor there's a growing sentiment Pascal siakum would not resign with a team who attempts to trade for him as his preference is to remain with the Raptors but despite that loyalty the team is still taking trade calls why are the Raptors doing this don't they care that he was just an All-Star so two big time reporters said things are not good between Pascal and the Raptors Mark Stein said it's increasingly likely siakum has moved this offseason and a toronto-based reporter the separation between siakum and the club seems to be widening but now we know which teams are most likely to get him in a trade but why are the Raptors even considering this because they have messed up bad their front office has a reputation of being smart but recently has made horrible decisions in 2021 they had to play in Tampa Bay to avoid coveted restrictions in Canada then a ton of injuries to keep players so they missed the playoffs but got the number four pick taking Scotty Barnes he won Rookie of the Year people started talking about dealing the vets but despite being in seventh place at the trade deadline they chose to keep Van Vleet and try to contend they ended up missing the playoffs and losing Fred for nothing in free agency that was a disaster because the Clippers and Sons wanted to trade for Van Vleet the Raptors could have gotten at least a first round pick to help Scotty Barnes but instead they got nothing this is a list of players they chose not to trade and lost in free agency recently Kawhi Leonard Danny Green Marc Gasol Serge Ibaka and now van vlee now granted Kawhi and Danny were only there one season but we see stars moving sign in trades all the time the Raptors front office continually over values their own players and never trades them that hurts the future of Scotty Barnes we have seen teams like Golden State try a two-time line approach and all it does is hold back the vets and and the young guys they even moved a top six protected first for Jacob last year to go all in what was that so maybe they have learned a lesson and will trade pascalciak he is 29 years old which doesn't fit the young Corps of Grady dick 19. Scotty Barnes 21 and ojian andobi 25 years old Pascal could go into next summer as the best player in free agency which would be a disaster to lose for nothing the Sixers could be a huge threat to stealing Billy refused to give Tyrese Maxi an extension last week to have money for two max-free agents they could offer a Max to Pascal and like a Drew holiday to pair with Joel embiid or some other team could pay him no one knew the Rockets would overpay Van Vleet I mean four months ago the Rockets were all in on bringing back James Harden but things change in the NBA quick but Philly is actually not a front-runner for Pascal some of these teams are so random but are official rumors one team is an obvious fit and would be so much fun but this trade opens things up for OG there have been rumors he wants more offensive responsibility and is upset about that but Pascal has stood in the way it would also help Scotty Barnes growth this trade makes so much sense but the trade Partners do not the three main teams in the mix are the Pacers the magic and the Hawks now we will get to mock trades for each of those but this would be a huge sign for the Pacers they feel like a rebuilding team but maybe they want to contend Indy just resigned Miles Turner Etc already have buddy hield on the wing added Bruce Brown when Tyrese Halliburton easily made his first All-Star they thought we are done rebuilding let's try to win the East so Pascal would be a perfect fit for that mindset and roster but Orlando I have no idea what they're thinking outside of like leadership and playoff experience Atlanta though is a perfect fit Pascal is a plus defender in the front Court which they need he's a solid 20 plus a knight which takes even more Focus off Trey young and dejante Murray he also handles the ball for lineups without ice trick but there is one mystery team to watch out for I'll get to that in a sec but the Pacers deal is siakum for Buddy hield Daniel Tice Andrew nimhard and two first-round picks it's hard to determine siakum's trade value because he's a one-year rental and he said he wouldn't resign with a new team that is horrible for the Raptors asking price but that could have been just talk I think a young player and two picks for Pascal is decent but there will be a bidding war so don't be surprised if a team has to overpay the Hawks competitive offer looks like this siakum for DeAndre Hunter Bogdan bogdanovic and super first round picks this is actually a big upgrade over the Pacers deal not only does Toronto get Hunter who is a good young Defender to replace Pascal they get Atlantis 20 31st that could go number one overall this would really be going all in for the Hawks but it makes sense after going to the Conference Finals back to back first round losses where they were barely competitive it's embarrassing but the mystery team is the LA Clippers seriously ESPN said they're interested but why they already have two similar Wings in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George what three six eight wings with a similar skill set no this could be linked to them not offering Max extensions to their big two a rumor says if Kauai and Paul George went in asked for four year Max extensions the Clippers would say no maybe their big plan is to replace one of Kauai or PG with Pascal siacom Paul George was already in trade talks with the New York Knicks now the Clippers are interested in James Harden which I don't think is much of an upgrade also in Damian Lillard which let's be honest he'll probably go to the heat so they're best to offer for Pascal is Norman Powell Marcus Morris Terence Mann and two first round picks which is a very good package they could even throw in two pick swaps if they really want to win this deal but the young Raptors could still compete for the new in-season tournament it will take place this coming season actually now a lot of people are hating on this thing but you have to see how the tournament works and what all the haters are missing check it out
