5:45 p.m. ET: The
Golden State Warriors are in desparate need of a trade and have interest in
Toronto Raptors star
Pascal Siakam, ESPN and Andscape senior writer Marc J. Spears
said Friday on "NBA Today."
Any such trade for Siakam would likely have to involve
Jonathan Kuminga and another player, such as
Andrew Wiggins or
Chris Paul. As one general manager told Spears, there isn't a lot of trade value in just sending Wiggins.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said any team trading for Siakam would have to make sure he wants to stay since he will be a free agent at the end of the season. A team such as the Warriors therefore would need to consider payroll and willingness to hand the two-time All Star forward a max deal.
Wojnarowski said that a team like the
Indiana Pacers could be involved as they have the salary cap flexibility, but Siakam will have a lot of say in where he ultimately lands.
