Pascal Siakam transferred to the Pacers!!!

For several weeks, the Pacers seemed the team most interested in the arrival of Pascal SiakamAnd ESPN announces that the discussions have been successful since the Raptors power forward joins Indiana in exchange for Bruce Brown Jr., Jordan Nwora and three future first rounds of the Draft!

We also learn that the Pelicans are included in the exchange since Kira Lewis also joins Toronto, while the Pacers also receive a second round of Draft. There should be some cleaning up at the Raptors since there are now two too many players in the squad.

The Pacers' missing link?

Signed this summer, after his title won with the Nuggets, Bruce Brown had the highest salary on Indiana's roster with $22 million, and his contract is not guaranteed for the future. Which means that Toronto will be able to part with it at the end of the season, and recover a nice sum of money. An ideal envelope to extend Immanuel Quickley recovered during the end-of-year holidays.

In his final year of contract, at $38 million, Siakam would still intend to test the market next July, and he could therefore leave the Pacers after a stint of a few months. This has already been seen in the past. But the Pacers have money, and above all great ambitions with a playmaker, Tyrese Haliburton, considered one of the best in his position.
