Pascal Siakam reportedly did not want to be traded to the Sacramento Kings, according to NBA insider Zach Lowe of ESPN. The Kings had expressed interest in acquiring Siakam, but did not have the assets the Raptors were seeking in return. Siakam, who becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, did not view the Kings as a good long-term fit and was eventually traded to the Indiana Pacers. In 54 games this season, Siakam is averaging 22.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists while shooting 53.5% from the field. Despite his addition, the Pacers are only 7-8 with him in the lineup and are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Siakam has career averages of 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks and has made two All-Star teams and two All-NBA teams.
