BREAKING: The Indiana Pacers are finalizing a trade to acquire All-Star F Pascal Siakam in a deal that will send Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks to the Toronto Raptors. New Orleans will be a third team in deal, sending Kira Lewis to the Raptors.

Indiana is sending two 2024 first-rounders and a 2026 first to the Raptors, sources said. New Orleans sends a second-round pick to Indiana.

The 2024 first-round picks will be Indiana’s own and the worst of Utah/Houston/Clippers/OKC, per sources.

The Pacers send their own 2026 first-rounder in deal, sources said.

The Pelicans will send a 2024 second-round pick to the Pacers in three-team deal, sources said.

I'm curious if Golden State truly wasn't interested in Siakam. I'm assuming Kuminga + picks/moody maybe? Would've been a far better trade than this for both teams.

Kuminga on the Raptors would have been awesome! And I'd rather have GSW's picks than Indy's. Things seem so bleak for the Warriors right now, with the latest being Assistant Coach Dejan Milojević dieing shortly after being hospitalized during a team dinner that maybe they were focused on bigger things or maybe they're exercising caution given how tough their situation looks

My guess is Siakam gave some indication to Warriors that he wouldn't re-sign unless they got their shit together, which seems unlikely to happen. Pacers already have their shit together, so I could see him as expressing a desire to re-sign if he were to get traded there, which probably facilitated the Pacers FO being willing to trade.
