. I will take Pascal Siakam if he wants out. Someone mentioned Poeltl is his best friend? If true, get Jakob to give him a call and let's get the ball rolling. Pipe dream, I know, but man, I'd be happy to get someone like Pascal on the Spurs after the Kawhi bull . I wouldn't care about the trade at all or the past few years if we somehow got this trade.
Doesn't sound like things are completely mended... Scored only 10 points tonight. Come to the Spurs, Siakam.
Come... To the dark side... We have mariachis... And tacos.
Which one of you posted this on the Raptors subreddit?
Seems they would welcome a DeMar for Siakam trade:

I'd buy hard on getting Siakam. I know Toronto is interested in Harden though so I think it'll be tough to pull him. I think it'll take more than ddr + Luka + a 1st.
Highly doubt Houston feels the same way about Toronto's package. So I think there's a 'no deal' there.
Could be but I don't know what Toronto's package really is. If it ends up being Siakam + Norman + 4 1sts they'll have a real shot at a deal if they want it.
Maybe. But if the Rockets care more about who the package is centered around (Siakam) than the long-term picks, then I think there are better offers (Simmons, Jaylen Brown).
The Raptors also are less scared if Harden doesn't re-sign with them since they crave immediate success, so that could give them a leg up against other teams.
We will see!
Siakam + OG for Harden + assets is a done deal
Agree with that.... I'm basically saying it compe ive and with Toronto in the mix for Harden it drives up our price for getting Siakam. We would have more leverage if things sour further with Siakam and mgmt if Harden is moved elsewhere. That's a good scenario for us. Another scenario that could be interesting is if Houston prioritizes space and young assets or picks instead of Siakam (or Brown etc). We might be able to work a 3 team deal if Houston is willing to deal with us.
But can Harden, Lowery, and Van Fleet carry them far? I doubt it..
Wow, I wasn't expecting such a wholly positive reception to the DeMar trade. Especially considering how posters here view him.
Hmm, I don't know if so. The Rockets won't pull the trigger on any Harden deal until they know for sure that Simmons is off the table (and Philly will probably wait until the POs at the very least, to give Doc the chance at blowing yet another 3-1 lead). That creates an additional problem, since OG's extension should be kicking around by that time (I don't know when exactly the new contracts kick in for trade purposes), so the timing might make it complicated or even impossible. Furthermore, the Raptors probably would want to run the season out with Siakam before looking to trade him - if only to see whether he gets back to level.
Overall, I personally see Harden being Philly-bound right now, but the Raptors will certainly be aggressive in trade talks if they feel like Pascal as the #1 option won't take them anywhere. Their window is closing with Lowry aging out, big contracts kicking in in FVV and OG's, leaving them little room to replenish an already depleted roster from losing FAs last season. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
DeMar and Luka for Siakam, Aldridge for Draymond Green.
Problem solved.
Murray/ White
Lonnie/ Vassell
Keldon/ whoever
Siakam/ Lyles/ KBD
Green/ Poetl/ Eubanks
The key is getting players who can rotate quick enough to cover 3s and still having strength inside
Draymond has a wide body and does a great job boxing out. Rebounds won't be that big of an issue
Signing DDR is such a Knicks thing to do.
Plus, just think of hilarity of the situation. DDR crashing to the hole getting fouled with no call, then losing the game with his spiraling emotions. Then melting in front of the New York media. DDR making some crazy post on Facebook. The more I think about it the more I want this to happen.
