Massive Pascal Siakam to Memphis Grizzlies Trade Idea

After being eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, the Memphis Grizzlies knew they needed to make roster upgrades this summer. Acquiring Marcus Smart from the Boston Celtics, Memphis added some much needed toughness and veteran experience, but they still may be a piece away from legitimate title contention.

In a recent article from Bleacher Report, a Pascal Siakam to the Grizzlies trade was proposed that would send several players and picks back to the Toronto Raptors. The entire hypothetical trade proposal looked like this:

Memphis Grizzlies get: Pascal Siakam

Toronto Raptors get: Luke Kennard, Brandon Clarke, Ziaire Williams, 2024 first-round pick (via GSW), 2025 unprotected first-round pick, 2027 first-round pick (top-8 protected), and 2028 first-round pick swap

This is quite the collection of draft choices for Toronto, but it's unclear what they would prioritize in a potential trade for Siakam. If they are hoping for a rising star in return for their All-Star forward, then this deal would not make much sense. If the Raptors are hoping to pile up future draft choices, then this deal could be one they consider.

It's important to note that this is a hypothetical trade idea from Bleacher Report, and does not indicate that any real discussions are ongoing between the Grizzlies and Raptors. That said, Toronto is expected to be active the summer, which means teams could inquire about the availability of Siakam.
