NBA

As a Raptors fan, my initial reaction is one of disappointment. Pascal Siakam is one of the greatest all-time Raptors and these 3 first-round picks seem pretty paltry in comparison. Also, the return on the OG trade looks better than this one by comparison. At least we got something in return for Siakam leaving, unlike VanVleet and many others.

The OG trade looks like one of few smart moves that the Raptors front office has made since they won the championship in 2019. By all accounts they could have treated Siakam better in the last calendar year, and I wish they did. I'm happy for Siakam though, like OG he's now on a much better team than the identity-less team we currently have in Toronto

I'm curious if Golden State truly wasn't interested in Siakam. I'm assuming Kuminga + picks/moody maybe? Would've been a far better trade than this for both teams.

I love the fit for Pacers. This was the team I wanted to see Pascal go if looking from a neutral perspective. Pascal fills so many of their needs its ridiculous. HE is going to look like a second coming once they start to play together. Just watch!

The returns for Raptors SUCK. Bruce Brown and a couple of trash picks for Pascal, a top 5 PF in this league? (Pascal is signing the 5 year deal from Pacers come off season because this is his last big contract so he's staying!) A return of 2024 picks are horrid. 2026 pick from Indy will be in the 20s at best too because Pacers will be better in 2 years' time. We should have gotten at least a decent young player. Bruce Brown is a short non-athletic SG/SF vet who can't shoot the 3 (32.7% this year) and can't defend. Raptors got robbed.
