Separation between Raptors, Siakam widening

www.sportsnet.ca Separation between Raptors, Siakam widening as prospects start slow at Summer League

The idea was for the NBA's Summer League to be a launching point for a new Raptors' energy. But after an 0-2 start and the way the separation between Pascal Siakam and the club seems to be widening, that idea is off to a slow start.

Separation between Raptors, Siakam widening as prospects start slow at Summer League

Per league sources, the Raptors are still listening, trying to gauge the market value for their leading scorer and leading returning – in theory – playmaker. Atlanta remains a possibility, Indiana has reached out while Orlando is another team that bears watching.

The Raptors don’t intend to drag the process out for weeks or months, but they don’t seem ready to close the door on a Siakam trade just yet. Meanwhile, they still remain committed to avoiding a total rebuild — in other words, nothing they do or don’t do with Siakam will make them any more inclined to trade O.G. Anunoby, the 25-year-old all-NBA defender who also has one year left on his deal. Teams are welcome to call about Anunoby, but don’t expect a call back — that's the message.
