There could be trouble for the Atlanta Hawks and their rumored trade talks.
“Even the rising noise about Toronto forward Pascal Siakam has seemed to quiet,” wrote Yahoo Sports NBA insider Jake Fischer on July 5. “The Hawks and Raptors have discussed various concepts to send Siakam to Atlanta in recent weeks, sources said, however those conversations have not generated any forward progress of late.”
Fischer’s report lines up with reporting from Marc Stein of the Stein Line regarding multiple iterations of potential trade packages being haggled over between the two sides.
