Think of this as two separate trades where the Raptors move on from Siakam and Fred and embrace the youth movement.

Ayton seems to be good as gone, and the Raptors should definitely be one of the teams that reach out to get Ayton. He is big and could occasionally switch on quicker guards out on the perimeter. Now I don’t think OG or Gary will be anything the Suns look at. They want another offensive initiator and Siakam will be one of the more appealing players they will likely go after. The Suns will cement possibly the NBA’s best big 3 and the Raptors get the franchise center who fits the timeline.

Trading away Siakam also likely means Fred is gone too. Now Fred will have interest around the league considering he is coming off an all star season. Especially with the Knicks, they tried to get him last offseason so I do not see why they won’t try this season. Giving up Cam who Tibbs doesn’t seem to value highly and that Dallas pick which is probably going to be a late 20s pick for a player of the calibre of Fred Vanvleet seems to be a fair deal. Jenna is just there for salary purposes. Will probably get waived by the Raptors.
