At least 2 of the picks are this year in a bad draft though. Raptor fans who wanted to give up their pick this year because the draft is so bad may now have 3 firsts in it.

2 picks in the the 20s and 1 pick in 2026 is well worth the risk. Pacers weren't going to get a player like Siakam any other way.

This is a great gamble

Crazy we didn't even manage to get one of Toppin or Smith. That front court is so crowded.

Type of a deal a non-free agent destination needs to make if we’re being honest.

HOW DID WE NOT GET A BIG!?!?!? OR A MATHURIN/NEMHARD?!

What a god damn blunder from Masai.

Two picks in the 20s and a future pick in the 20s. Plus a role player.

Overrated GM ever.

Well done by the Pacers. Siakam fits them too well not to do this. Not too expensive for a player of Siakam's level who is in his prime years either.

Not sure about the move for Raptors and Pacers, but great move for Pels, getting rid of Lewis for a 2nd round pick enable them to get under the luxury tax.

It'll probably come out that Siakam will agree to a max extension. I don't imagine the Pacers make this deal otherwise.

Indiana completely fleeced Toronto.

I don't think this return is all that bad for a guy that Toronto obviously didn't want to resign and was in the last year of his deal. If he doesn't stay in Indy this is a terrible trade for them though

Raps fans y'all got 3 firsts for an expiring player and now you can flip Bruce Brown for more. Good haul imo.

That part is weird. Not enough minutes to go around for those 2

Raptor fans have unreasonable expectations. 3 firsts for a half year rental is a good return. Way better than letting him walk like you did Fred.

It is weird that they did it now rather than wait for the trade deadline to see if the offer got better, but maybe they wanted to start the tank early to keep their pick.

Got to see what these FRPs are and what protections they have.

one side its an overpayment
one side its a **** deal

so basically its a decent deal for a guy not resigning with the team that traded him

Masai held on too go way too long and killed his value

The two picks this year womt be worth much and the Pacers should still be really good in two years.

None of these picks should be much

well Indiana giving up the 3 firsts was probably the best deal out there. they cannot wait.

Knowing Masai, we'll keep him :roll:

I just wanted at least one of their young prospects, Nwora is not it.

Who won the trade?
