Pascal Siakam News
Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin appears to be extremely highly rated by the franchise, as Michael Scotto of HoopsHype has reported that the Hawks didn't want to include the 19-year-old rookie in a potential deal to acquire Pascal Siakam from Toronto. The Raptors appear to have some Bufkin fas as well, with Scotto adding that the club considered drafting the Michigan product with the No. 13 pick before settling for Gradey Dick. Bufkin ended up going to Atlanta with the 15th pick, and he looks like an exciting addition to the Hawks' backcourt, although the young guard struggled massively in Summer League games. Across five appearances, Bufkin led the team with 14.0 points per game, but he shot below 15 percent from downtown with nearly six attempts per game and hit 33.3 percent overall from the field.
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been in the rumor mill and included in every person's trade machine theories this summer. The 29-year-old All-Star hasn't even discussed an extension with the team according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Siakam is eligible for a four-year, $192 million extension right now but the two sides haven't had any substantive talks. Charania also reports that Siakam has never requested a trade, but the Hawks have offered the best deal so far. Other teams are hesitant to make any big offers after Siakam said he wasn't going to sign an extension with any team that does acquire him.
According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, many teams around the NBA feel the Raptors won't trade forward Pascal Siakam. The 29-year-old is coming off a productive season, averaging a career-high 24.2 points while adding 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists. Yet, Siakam is on an expiring contract beyond this year, leaving most to assume he's on his way out, especially after Fred VanVleet signed with Houston this offseason. The veteran has been linked to clubs like the Hawks, Magic, and Pacers. But there's a chance Siakam isn't going anywhere, meaning he could stay in Toronto for at least one more season. On the other hand, the organization would love to get something in return, even if it's a young asset to pair with Scottie Barnes moving ahead.
According to Doug Smith of The Star, Toronto will take things slow regarding a potential move surrounding forward/center Pascal Siakam. The 29-year-old averaged a career-high 24.2 points last season. He also logged 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists, so it's understandable why the club will be cautious while fielding all offers possible. Siakam has one year left on his current contract and is set for unrestricted free agency next summer. But regardless of who he's playing for this season, he'll likely remain a top-25 fantasy option, assuming he stays healthy.
