Trade Idea Simons, Bledsoe, and 2025 Milwaukee pick for Siakam?

Very unlikely to happen no matter what. This was just a fan bois "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" rumor.

Read more of the trade suggestions from the link. They're all garbage and not based in reality.

if "based in reality" was the standard in this forum there would be about 3 posts a day

If that.

I would like to know however what other options we have to get Siakam. He makes 33 million until July. So Bledsoe, plus our lottery pick, plus what?

If we sign our pick, we can trade him after 30 days. So assuming we stay at 6, 6, Bledsoe and Didi works financially to get to Siakim.

Yes you included a link of someone giving an opinion and trying to create a rumor. Yes.
I skipped the link and just went straight to rumor.

I said it wasn’t a rumor in my post but the link shows I didn’t make it up.

Thanks, but I am still confused. Doesn't Bledsoe and Didi add up to 21 million? I thought the 6th pick was only slotted for another 5 million? That seems to be about 9 million short of Siakam's 35 million. Or is the pick worth more?

Also wouldn't Toronto benefit more if the trade was on draft day? In case they don't want to pick up Bledsoe's whole contract for next year? Is there a scenario for that to work or do we have to wait until #6 is signed?

I wonder if Toronto would rather have Gobert since they are lacking a center?

This years 6th pick, Josh giddey, is making about 5.9. So I used his salary. Added to Bledsoe's 19.3, and Didi's 1.9. Gets us a little over 27 million. We can take back up to 125% in a trade, which siakim would fit under.

In order to move Bledsoe for him, his whole contract would have to be guaranteed. So they can not cut him for $$ relief in any scenario.
