Based on rumors that Raptors are listening to offers for Pascal Siakam and are interested in perhaps selecting Scottie Barnes with their #4 pick.

Why the Spurs do it Positional need, defensive versatility, upgrade on talent. If DeRozan is gone, they'll need someone who can score and do playmaking. Siakam does both while improving the Spurs' outside shooting and perimeter defense. While he's not anyone's #1 scoring option of the future, he substantially raises the Spurs defensive profile while giving them a legit feature scorer.

Why the Raptors do it Positional needs, cap savings, draft capital. With Lowry assumed gone, the Raptors could opt for a young veteran like Murray to bolster the Raps' point-of-attack defense while offering some untapped All-Star potential. The return of Poeltl as a premier rim protector and roll man would make for one of the most formidable defensive starting 5's with Murray-FVV-Anunoby-Barnes-Poeltl, all 27 years and under (average age of under 24). Murray and Poeltl are both on contracts below their market value and gives the Raps cap flexibility moving forward. The 2 1RPs are likely in the middle (11-20) with some lottery potential for 2022.

I'm interested to hear from Raps fans in particular. What kind of trade packages are acceptable for a player of Siakam's caliber?
