Another good team win for us against the Pacers, everyone contributing one way or another. Now onto a big test against the new look Warriors next game.

The Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors have gained momentum in their trade talks involving Pascal Siakam, sources tell The Athletic.

The two teams have made several back-and-forth proposals and are along in the process.

The package would be centered around Siakam for Bruce Brown Jr. and three future first round picks.

The Raptors have been engaged with other teams such as the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks.

Siakam is in the final year of his contract at $38 million. Siakam has some leverage in the situation given his ability to signal a willingness to re-sign in free agency.

Siakam is represented by Todd Ramasar and Jaafar Choufani.

Aight all, time to update everyone on movable assets from my end:

Lonzo, Brogdan, Portis, Bogan, Diallo, Jaden McDaniels, Nance, Bryant...almost everyone available.

I also have Bucks and NOP 2024.

What I'm looking for...I guess upgrades for my team as well as good cost-controlled talent. Basically willing to listen on anything.

I didn't even notice the draft picks moving from team to team. You were able to bring in 2 1st round picks for Drummond and Dinwiddie? One being a likely lotto pick. Nicely done.

One pick was a continuation from a previous trade I think, where I got Huerter, so just one pick.

My team is definitely a lot worse now, though. Sorry Eballa...you were a mad genius!

The last couple of days or so was crazy….

GM Appreciation:

Shoutout to Wackbone Aka the money man

This was me pulling up to his inbox with 2nd round picks anytime I needed to move a cheap contract

Thank you to DePalma, HerSports, DaGawd, Hezi, KGF, and Fat for their cooperation in responding to PMs in a timely manner and making last minute adjustments as needed. It’s always great working with GMs who have great communication skills.

BaF Fam, I’ve had private discussions with many, if not all of you since the season began. We may not have come to an agreement, but if you got back to me on any inquiry that was made, thank you once again. I respect everyone’s time.

Last but not least, Bish you’re the man bro.
