The Raptors and Pacers are actively engaged in trade talks centered around
two-time All-Star forward Pascal Siakam that would send him to Indiana for a
package that includes Bruce Brown Jr., other salaries and three first-round
draft picks, league sources tell The Athletic.
The Raptors have been engaged in discussions with several teams on a
potential Siakam deal, but conversations with the Pacers have gained steam in
recent days, those sources say. Sources briefed on the talks between the two
teams say that there have been several back-and-forth proposals made. While
the two sides have been described as being far along in the process,
according to those sources, they have yet to finalize or agree to a deal.
暴龍與溜馬正在就以Pascal Siakam為中心的交易進行談判，溜馬將會送給暴龍以Bruce
Brown、薪資包與3首輪的包裹。
暴龍已經與數支隊伍討論過Siakam為主體的交易，但與溜馬的談話近幾天變得更加活絡。
內線更指出這兩隊之間的談話已經有過好幾次前後退讓。雖然據這些內線表示，雙方在這
個過程中已被描述為進展頗為深入，但他們尚未最終確定或達成協議。
It’s unclear where the Raptors stand, but the Pacers’ level of motivation
appears high.
The Kings had been among other suitors for Siakam, but decided to pull out of
conversations in recent weeks, league sources say. Siakam is also known to be
against the potential prospect of re-signing in Sacramento, making a Kings
deal even more problematic. The Warriors and Mavericks have expressed
exploratory interest in Siakam as well, according to league sources.
目前暴龍的態度不明確，但溜馬相當積極。
國王原本是Siakam的追求者之一，但在這幾週退出了。Siakam也被認為他拒絕與國王續約
，這使得和國王隊達成交易變得更加困難。勇士和獨行俠也對Siakam表達了初步興趣。
Siakam is in the final year of his contract at $38 million, giving the
29-year-old some leverage in his landing spot as any prospective team would
want to know whether he would have interest in re-signing as a free agent
given the assets necessary in a trade. If the Raptors ultimately decide not
to trade Siakam before the Feb. 8 trade deadline, an extension remains
possible as another potential solution that would allow them to revisit the
situation this summer. Siakam, however, is known to be seeking a max-salary
deal and the two sides have not progressed in talks in recent months.
Brown is the Pacers’ highest paid player this season, making $22 million,
and has a team option on his deal for next season at $23 million.
Siakam今年是38M合約的最後一年，這也使得這名29歲球員可以利用一些是否續約的優勢可
以決定他交易的去處並決定對家付出的資產。如果暴龍最終決定不在2/8的大限前交易
Siakam，延長合約將會是今年夏天另一個可以解決問題的可能方案。Siakam目前正在尋求
頂薪合約但雙方在這方面過去幾個月並無任何進度。
Brown則是溜馬本季最高薪的球員(22M)，下一季將有23M的球隊選項。
