Pascal Siakam is not guaranteed to be moved any time soon but the struggling Raptors could move him for future assets if they do not believe they can turn this season around. Siakam bursted onto the scene two years ago and has been one of the best bigs in the NBA ever since. The Raptors have fallen back a bit the past two seasons, however, and something needs to happen within the organization.
The Kings have a valuable asset in Buddy Hield who can help a playoff team as a perimeter scorer. Toronto could always flip Hield as part of a three-team deal or use keep him as the leader on a young team that can still reach the playoffs on its own.
Bagley is still young but things have not clicked particularly well for him in Sacramento. Prior to this season, Bagley had recorded 14 points and 7.4 rebounds per game but those numbers have dropped significantly in just 13 games this season.
There is still a ton of talent to be found in Bagley and the right team could help blossom him into a very good player. If one team can do it, it’s the Toronto Raptors. They have developed a ton of young talent over the years, one of which is included in this deal.
This would be the ideal landing spot for Marvin Bagley if you asked me.
