As chatter surrounding whether or not the Sacramento Kings need to make a move this season grows, a new report indicates that the ‘Beam Team’ is kicking tires around the NBA trade market.
According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Sacramento is an expected suitor for Toronto Raptors star forward Pascal Siakam, who is more likely to be moved this winter rather than defensive wing OG Anunoby.
While Anunoby has been the ideal trade candidate for Kings fans, Charania reports that Sikam is more likely to be moved as the two-time All-Star runs through the final year of his four-year, $136 million extension.
More on the Kings’ interest in Pascal Siakam
Sacramento is in the market for a defensive forward, and it’s no secret that the Raptors have two players that could shape this year’s NBA trade deadline.
Siakam and Anunoby have been on the Kings’ radar for some time now, but it looks as if Toronto is inching closer to trading one or both of its talented wings.
There will be no shortage of competition regarding trade offers, but you can expect that general manager Monte McNair will check in with Raptors president Masai Ujiri often as we move closer to February 8th’s trade deadline.
Siakam, who is currently making $37.8 million in the final year of his contract, would be the defensive difference-maker that the Kings have been looking for. The 29-year old stands at 6’8, 230 pounds with an incredible 7’3 wingspan.
During his NBA career, Siakam has been named to two All-NBA teams and two All-Star teams, won the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award (2018-19), and helped win the 2019 NBA Finals.
