Pacers land Pascal Siakam

Win now mode engaged

Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers are finalizing a deal that will send two-time All-Star Pascal Siakam to Indiana, per ESPN. The Raptors will reportedly receive three first-round picks as well as Bruce Brown and Jordan Nwora in the blockbuster deal that comes three weeks ahead of the Feb. 8 NBA trade deadline. The Pelicans are also involved in the trade, sending Kira Lewis Jr. to Toronto.

Toronto underachieving so I guess it's that time to rebuild a bit. thx for the update.

This is a big get for the Pacers. They needed a guy who gives them defense because none of their players other than perhaps Brown play much defense. Siakem is a two way player though and he gives them size to strengthen their front court which basically only consisted of Myles Turner and Isaiah Jackson. Overall I like the move and this will boost the Pacers playoff chances.

Wow! What a big trade! Let’s see how this plays out.

My NBA smart friend told me:

“Yeahh. Not too bad tho imo. Two this year will be the Pacers and Thunder pick so both 20+ in a weak ass draft. Then a 2026 first protected 1-4”

Assuming he re-signs which I believe Pacers will be able to offer him the most, good deal (and wouldn’t have done the deal if there wasn’t a huge interest to re-sign)

That’s a great pickup

It's interesting that you bring up him re-signing because he said he wouldn't do that no matter which team he went to but I can see him changing his mind if this Pacers team goes to the playoffs and wins a playoff series or two. This is good up and coming team in the East so he might want to stick around.

Great pickup for Pacers

At least for this year and the next .

With time , we'll see the true developments of the trade .

But in short term this a win for Pacers

Pacers have this as good as a chance as any to get to the finals

they match up well against Milwaukee Boston could be the issue

The Pacers are 0-2 since the Pascal Siakam trade.
