Raptors, Blazers Haven't Gained Traction On Pascal Siakam For CJ McCollum Talks

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers have discussed the framework of a trade centered on Pascal Siakam for CJ McCollum, but those talks have not gained any meaningful traction.

With the Raptors selecting Scottie Barnes at No. 4 in the draft, rival executives believe Siakam will become more available in a trade.

Siakam signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension with the Raptors in 2019. Siakam cannot become a free agent until 2024.

McCollum signed a three-year, $100 million extension with the Blazers in 2019 and also cannot become a free agent until 2024.

Raptors wouldn't do this.

Well Massai ain't under contract yet so I wouldn't put it past anybody else on the management side yet knowing Torontos history with one sided trades. This trade only swings one way and to the blazers

You mean history from well over a decade ago, when we were a terribly run org?

We're in good hands, even if Masai leaves, so I wouldn't count on some bad one sided trades happening anytime soon with this team.
