Toronto Raptors Receive: C Rudy Gobert
Utah Jazz Receive: F Pascal Siakam, C Precious Achiuwa
Rudy Gobert is set to make an insane amount of money over the next three years. His contract does include a $46.65 million player option for the 2025-2026 season.
It would be silly for Gobert to opt out with that money on the table so the Toronto Raptors will have to find a way to match some of it.
Pascal Siakam would have to be included for a couple of reasons.
First, he is one of the most underrated players in the league. Siakam would fit well next to Mitchell in Utah. Also, Siakam is in the second year of a four-year, $136.9 million deal where he is earning an average of $34 million per year.

Siakam and Precious Achiuwa would be on their way to the Jazz while Gobert would find a new home with Toronto. He would still be linked to a strong point guard with Fred VanVleet leading the way. This is important given Gobert’s ability in the pick-and-roll game and as an offensive rebounder.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Rudy Gobert would impact both the Toronto Raptors and Utah Jazz.
