We’re just over a month into the 2023-24 NBA season, and it feels as if trade rumors have continuously swirled since opening night. One reason for this might be the trade chatter around Damian Lillard and James Harden that spanned most of the offseason. Now that Lillard and Harden have found new homes with the Bucks and Clippers, respectively, the next big name in trade rumors is Raptors forward Pascal Siakam.
Although the 29-year-old was a subject of offseason trade rumors, he remained in Toronto. But whether Siakam still will be there through the trade deadline sounds more and more like a long shot considering the immense interest the forward has received.
The latest trade buzz points to “several” teams having interest in a potential trade for Siakam, but four to watch closely include the 76ers, Hawks, Kings and Pacers, according to Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto.
