So Siakim agree to re up with the pacers? I know that was a sticking point and he’s people were poisoning trade talks

he wanted to stay put to have a shot at the supermax....ultiamtely he was gonna re sign with whoever trades for him cuz they can offer the 5th year on a max....

Yeah probably, its that 5th year and extra money. That fifth year is like another 45 mill, at age 34 no one is giving pascal siakam 45 mill when hes avg like 12 and 5

He didnt pick Indiana Masai did...if SAC hadnt offered pure trash he would have gone to SAC.

Thing is whoever traded for him owns his Bird right and can give him the 5th year and thats all he wanted,him saying he wasnt gonna re sign was always a masquerade,he wants the 5th year and the only team that can give to him is the team that trades for him...
What was Toronto asking for? I heard they inquired about Murray which was a deal breaker

That Siakam contract can definitely fukk up their cap space especially with Haliburton's max on the books as well and Indy not being a luxury tax team.

History isn't too kind when it comes to long term contracts at his age, so they better hope he still has tread left on the tires and he didn't get worn down from those years of Nick Nurse running him into the ground.
Won't be an issue. The cap is going up a lot in the years going forward.

2024-25$149.623 mil$52.37 mil
2025-26$164.585 mil$57.6 mil
2026-27$181.044 mil$63.37 mil
2027-28$199.148 mil$69.7 mil
2028-29$219.063 mil$76.67 mil
2029-30$240.969 mil$84.34 mil

Hali and Siakam will be $75-90 million which won't even be half the cap. All of their young guys are making pennies for a few more years. They aren't gonna sign anybody better than Siakam either.

Indy is pushing their chips in for the first part of Hali's contention window. When Siakam's deal is up, Haliburton won't even be 30. They're giving him a chance to compete in Indy for his entire prime.
