Pascal Siakam
One name that continues to emerge as a trade candidate this offseason is Pascal Siakam of the Toronto Raptors. Siakam has become severely underrated and the slander on his name will not be tolerated.
While he isn’t a superstar player or the flashiest player, Siakam can bring a lot to a team. If I were making decisions for the Raptors, I’d hang onto Siakam as a long-term piece for my franchise.
Since helping Toronto secure a title alongside Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Lowry, and Fred VanVleet in 2019, Pascal Siakam has evolved into a formidable two-way forward.
In the past two seasons, Siakam has notched 21+ points per game, 7+ rebounds per game, and 1+ steal per game. What separates him from other forwards is that he can be tasked with putting the ball on the floor and operating the offense when needed.

If Pascal Siakam can improve his shooting efficiency closer to where it was from 2017-2019, then he’d be a perfect fit alongside Mitchell in Utah.
