Pascal Siakam
We’ve seen the Spurs conduct business with the Toronto Raptors before when San Antonio sent Kawhi Leonard to Toronto in exchange for DeMar DeRozan and Jakob Poeltl.
While losing Leonard was a big blow to the Spurs, getting DeRozan could have gone worse. DeRozan, who is set to hit free agency this offseason, excelled in a small-ball power forward role this season. All expectations are that DeRozan elects to sign elsewhere, leaving a void at forward for San Antonio.
To help replace DeRozan, the Spurs could turn their attention to the Raptors again, setting their sights on Pascal Siakam. Siakam is a perfect forward for San Antonio that can handle the ball and score at all three levels of the floor.
Popovich would love to add a player like Siakam that can provide the Spurs with a variety of skills that can aid the team’s hopes in returning to the playoffs.

Getting Siakam would prevent San Antonio into forcing Keldon Johnson or Devin Vassell into a prominent role in the starting lineup next season.
