Warriors Face Pricey Dilemma in Potential Pascal Siakam Trade

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam’s potential trade to the Golden State Warriors comes with a hefty price tag. According to Adrian Wojnarowski on “NBA Today” show, any team looking to acquire Siakam must be prepared to offer him a maximum contract before he becomes a free agent in 2023. Siakam, who will have a say in where he goes, has yet to agree on an extension with Toronto. The Warriors, who currently carry the largest payroll in NBA history, face the challenge of deciding whether they are willing to invest in Siakam long-term. The team reportedly has interest in the forward but is not enthusiastic about trading rising star Jonathan Kuminga as part of the deal. Golden State, determined to make a move before the trade deadline, is open to trading anyone but Steph Curry. While the Warriors face obstacles in securing a Siakam trade, their motivation could push them to overcome those challenges.
