This Raptors-Thunder Trade Sends Pascal Siakam To Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been one of the top surprises in the NBA this season. With a 24-27 record, they still rank 13th in the Western Conference, but are just one game out from the final play-in spot in the Western Conference.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having an All-NBA caliber season and was rewarded with an All-Star nomination. He could be a nightmare for an opponent in postseason basketball but would be all the more dangerous with a co-star.

With the way NBA free agency is no longer the premier source for talent acquisition, the Thunder would benefit from leveraging some of their assets ahead of the midseason trade deadline to acquire talent.

One team to watch is the Toronto Raptors, who could have no shortage of intriguing trade targets ahead of the Feb. 9 deadline for a team like the Thunder to pursue. Pascal Siakam stands out as a particularly intriguing option.
