The Toronto Raptors are entering a new era of basketball now that the Kyle Lowry departure is official, and they will assuredly be leaning on the services of Pascal Siakam to give the team stability and quality in this uncertain period. Despite that fact, plenty of teams were supposedly trying to pilfer him away from Toronto.
The Raptors were inundated with trade rumors about Siakam, with the lowly Sacramento Kings and contending Golden State Warriors alike trying to get Toronto to part with one of the best power forwards in the game.
