Reason Pascal Siakam refused to be traded to Sacramento Kings revealed


Evan Sidery: The reason why Pascal Siakam refused to be traded to the Kings, who were extremely interested, was due to past comments made by their front office about his game, per @sam_amick (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cgezCuPk3d0&t;=642s): “The way it was framed to me — in an attempt to drive down what it would take to get him — some gossipy-type feedback on his game had gotten back to him.”

More on this storyline

Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard and general manager Chad Buchanan presented the max offer to Siakam and his agents Todd Ramasar and Jafaar Choufani of Life Sports Agency on Tuesday — shortly after the NBA’s new early contact rules allowed for teams to begin negotiating extensions and free agent deals with their own players after the NBA Finals. Siakam, 30, plans to sign the deal once the league’s free agency moratorium ends on July 6, sources said. -via ESPN / June 19, 2024
Yossi Gozlan: Pascal Siakam’s year-by-year cap hit projections on his four year, $189.5 million maximum-level contract with the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers have enough room below the $171.3 million luxury tax line to re-sign Obi Toppin or use the $12.9 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception. pic.twitter.com/waMylyHqXa -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / June 19, 2024
