“I know there are absolutely people in Dallas who really think Pascal is a missing piece that could potentially pair with Luka [Doncic] and Kyrie Irving and all of a sudden you look up and the Mavericks off are a legitimate contender in the West” - Jake L Fischer

"Both Indiana and Detroit will have serious room to play with this summer. So will Philadelphia … that has league personnel pinning the #Sixers as another potential free-agency bogeyman to scare off Siakam trade-deadline bids.” - Jake L Fischer

“If you’re the Pacers, who’ve been engaged with Toronto [regarding Siakam], you don’t have to necessarily go out and give the really good young players that Masai Ujiri would love to get.” - Woj

The Philadelphia 76ers are a ‘prime team’ to monitor in the Pascal Siakam sweepstakes - Chris B Haynes

"The notion that the Indiana Pacers can easily create a max contract spot this summer isn't really true. They'd have to get rid of Bruce Brown, Buddy Hield, Obi Toppin, Jordan Nwora, and TJ McConnell just to get to about $37.9 million in cap space. But that's still not enough. Even getting rid of Jalen Smith doesn't get them there. Yes, they could make a trade, but that's a lot to get rid of just to create a max contract slot. The other option would be just to trade for Pascal and not have to worry about the free agency fight." - Aaron Ben Rose

"The Pacers had extensive conversations at the G League Showcase in Orlando about this (trading for Siakam). I think Indiana has some of the best assets to offer." - Mike A Scotto
