Golden State Warriors: Karl-Anthony Towns
Seeing that the Golden State Warriors have two lottery picks, there are going to be endless rumors of then looking to make a trade. With Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green still on the roster, the Warriors have to maximize their title window right now.
While the team has remained adamant about keeping James Wiseman, trading the rookie center and first-round picks could be enough to land them an All-Star player.
There were NBA trade rumors recently stating how Pascal Siakam could be on Golden State’s radar this summer. Even though Siakam would be a fantastic acquisition, Towns would make the Warriors an instant threat in the Western Conference again.
Golden State has been unable to find a formidable piece at the center position, and if they could get someone who doesn’t ruin their spacing — and actually improves it — it’s hard to believe they’d side with adding another prospect to the roster instead of Towns.
Sacramento Kings: Pascal Siakam
The Kings have De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton in the backcourt moving forward, possibly pushing Buddy Hield out this offseason. Harrison Barnes could be a trade candidate this offseason and Richaun Holmes is projected to sign elsewhere in free agency. With needs at nearly every position, outside of point guard and shooting guard, the Kings would benefit from getting Siakam.
Given the franchise’s lack of winning for nearly two decades, adding Siakam would give them a player who’s experienced winning at the highest level.

It remains to be seen if the Raptors are interested in moving Siakam, but his name has popped up in plenty of trade rumors. While the Kings will likely make a pick that causes fans to scratch their head at No. 9, targeting Siakam would be a wise move by Sacramento.
