Pascal Siakam
One team that could see their roster change drastically over the course of the offseason is the Toronto Raptors. Kyle Lowry’s impending free agency looms large for the future of the franchise. The experienced point guard was nearly dealt ahead of the NBA trade deadline this season, only for teams to back out last second.

Regardless of what happens with Lowry, Pascal Siakam could be a popular name this offseason. Of course, the likeliness of Siakam being traded increases if Lowry signs elsewhere in free agency. Siakam signed a four-year, $136.9 million extension with Toronto before the 2019-2020 season got underway. Despite the Raptors committing to him as a franchise cornerstone, Siakam hasn’t improved in certain areas of his game like the team would have liked.
Pascal Siakam struggled with his outside shot this season, converting on only 29.7 percent of his three-point attempts. The Cameroon native is still a talented scorer, posting 21+ points per game in back-to-back seasons, which included an All-Star nod last year.
The good news for Pascal Siakam and the Raptors is that it’s not easy finding a wing player that can score on his own. And the fact that Siakam is 27 years old makes him movable if Toronto decides to go in a different direction, especially with OG Anunoby ready to inherit his role.
