The Toronto Raptors have traded OG Anunoby before his free agency, and they’re considering a similar move for Pascal Siakam. Dallas Mavericks are interested, despite initial skepticism due to their limited depth and draft picks. Siakam in Dallas would form a potent Big Three of Luka, Kyrie and Pascal.Nico Harrison’s offer is crucial. Dallas needs to include three players in trade talks, including:

PF Olivier-Maxence Prosper:

Despite being the No. 24 pick in the draft, Prosper is not considered a crucial part of Dallas’s future. Adding Siakam to the roster would further limit Prosper’s role in the rotation. As a developmental project, Prosper’s value would be diminished, especially considering the overlap in skill set with Siakam.

SG Jaden Hardy:

While Josh Green could be a player Toronto might focus on in Siakam talks, acquiring Hardy, a fourth-year guard with inconsistent scoring, may not meet expectations. Hardy’s potential, however, is in a different league, and despite efficiency concerns, his high ceiling, once considered for the No. 1 overall pick, makes him a compelling addition.

SG Tim Hardaway Jr.:

If the Raptors aim to replace Trent with a significant addition, Hardaway could be the answer. Despite crossing the age-32 threshold, Hardaway remаins an effective bench scorer, averaging 17.5 points per game. While his arrival may not significantly improve Toronto’s defense, his shooting prowess would bolster their suԀԀenly potent offense.
