Golden State Warriors Reportedly Exploring Trade for Toronto Raptors’ Pascal Siakam

The Golden State Warriors might be preparing to make one final run at a championship with Stephen Curry still at the helm. According to a report from The Athletic, the Warriors have expressed interest in acquiring Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors before the trade deadline.

Siakam, 31, is entering the last year of his contract and has yet to sign an extension with Toronto. While the Raptors have been reluctant to part with their star forward, league insiders say the franchise could pivot toward a full rebuild if they fail to gain momentum in the playoff race.

For Golden State, the move makes sense. The team has struggled with consistency this season, and adding Siakam would provide an athletic, two-way presence who can score inside, hit the midrange, and defend multiple positions. His length and defensive versatility would also help cover for some of the Warriors’ recent weaknesses in guarding bigger wings.

A Western Conference executive told reporters:
"If they land him, it could be the biggest midseason shake-up since Durant."

The proposed trade framework circulating among analysts includes Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and future first-round picks. While Kuminga has shown flashes of star potential, the Warriors’ front office may feel the pressure to maximize Curry’s championship window rather than wait for young players to fully develop.

Financially, the deal would be complex. Siakam’s $37 million salary means the Warriors would need to match contracts closely, and with the new luxury tax penalties under the NBA’s CBA, the front office would have to consider the long-term financial impact.

Still, with Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson potentially in their final stretch together, adding a proven All-Star like Siakam could be the spark that propels Golden State back into serious contention.

If the deal goes through, the Warriors’ lineup could be one of the most versatile in the league — and the road to the Western Conference Finals would suddenly get a lot more crowded.
