Houston Rockets Receive: F Pascal Siakam
Toronto Raptors Receive: C Christian Wood, G Eric Gordon, F Jae’Sean Tate, No. 17 Pick, 2024 First-Round Pick (via BKN)
The Toronto Raptors would be deciding that it’s time to move full force into the Scottie Barnes era by trading Pascal Siakam after he regained his trade value.
While the Raptors would not be landing the No. 3 overall pick in this trade scenario, they’d be adding a combination of intriguing complementary talents and draft assets.
Christian Wood would help to solve some of the Raptors’ needs with his 3-point shooting ability. Barnes and OG Anunoby could slot in alongside Wood cleanly as they look toward the future with their roster construction efforts.
Eric Gordon would not be a long-term answer given his age, but he’d add another shot-creation threat to the Raptors. They struggled with depth and he’d check a lot of boxes.
