Charlotte Hornets Receive: F/C Pascal Siakam

If the Toronto Raptors are aiming for a rebuild, this package may suit them better.

Firstly, they’re getting an extra first-round pick as compared to the last package. Three first-rounders and two intriguing young players ought to be market value for Siakam if he’s on the market.

Perhaps more significantly, the Raptors could target Kai Jones as their potential starting big man of the future. As currently constructed, only recent second-round pick Christian Koloko threatens for that role. Koloko has a high ceiling, but his low floor kept him out of the first round. Having two kicks at the can is always better than having one.

As for the Charlotte Hornets, they’re paying a hefty price to acquire Siakam here. Of course, that’s to be expected in acquiring a perennial All-NBA candidate.
