Toronto raptors has finally signed him…

The Indiana Pacers have acquired All-Star forward Pascal Siakam in a trade with the Toronto Raptors that includes Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora, and three first-round picks, according to an announcement made on Wednesday.

The New Orleans Pelicans transferred Kira Lewis Jr. and a 2024 second-round selection to the Pacers in a separate deal, according to the announcement. The Pacers then traded Lewis to the Raptors.

The Raptors will receive two first-round picks in 2024 (Indiana’s own selection and the lesser of a Utah/Houston/LA Clippers/Oklahoma City pick), and the third in 2026 (from Indiana), according to the announcement.

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Pascal to Indiana,” Pacers President Kevin Pritchard said in a statement. “As a two-time All-NBA pick and two-time NBA All-Star, Pascal is a player that our club has always revered and respected. We believe that his distinct offensive skill set will compliment our style of play, while his defensive versatility will be an invaluable asset to our squad.”

Siakam, who has played all eight NBA seasons with the Raptors, is averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists this season. According to ESPN, he is thrilled with the arrangement and expects to sign a new contract with the team this summer.

“I’m excited that Pascal is getting a first-class opportunity with the Pacers, being paired with Tyrese [Haliburton] and Myles [Turner] and being coached by a great coach in Rick Carlisle,” Siakam’s agent, Todd Ramasar, stated to
