Pascal Siakam to Portland Trail Blazers
Toronto Raptors Receive: G Anfernee Simons, 2023 First-Round Pick (No. 3 – POR)
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Pascal Siakam
In some ways, the Portland Trail Blazers control the fate of the league as much as anybody else.
This team is in a unique position. They’ve got a win-now superstar on their roster, and they’ve got the third overall pick in the NBA. They will likely choose a direction this summer, and there will be fallout around the league as a result.
Here, we’ve got them cashing their chips in on the present. Somehow, this feels like the more likely move. Despite rumors, it feels like Lillard and the Blazers will remain faithful to one another. Why not pair him with a dominant two-way wing in Pascal Siakam?
Meanwhile, Toronto couldn’t possibly pass on this opportunity. If the Hornets select Brandon Miller, they can land a potential franchise player in Scoot Henderson.

If the Hornets take Henderson, they could add a much-needed shooter in Miller, or continue leaning into jumbo playmakers by selecting Amen Thompson.
Assuming, that is, that Portland trades the pick at all.
