3 trades Bulls can make with the Raptors for Pascal Siakam
Chicago Bulls trades with the Raptors for Pascal Siakam: Get the Pacers and Caris LeVert involved
This trade is rather similar for the Bulls to the last proposal on the list. But this one seems more realistic for all the teams included here. In this hypothetical trade deal, the Bulls and Raptors get the Indiana Pacers involved to move the deal along to eventually get Siakam to Chicago.
The main reason here for including the Pacers is the fact that there are a few key trade chips from Indy that would fit well in Toronto. Two that really stick out are the standout two-way center Myles Turner and potent wing Caris LeVert.
LeVert, in particular, is a trade chip from the Pacers that is a really intriguing fit with the Raptors. He could add another potent scorer and lengthy defender to the Raptors to give the top unit some punch alongside the likes of OG Anunoby, star Fred VanFleet, Scottie Barnes, etc.
It also looks like LeVert could really use a change of scenery after having a rough time with head coach Rick Carlisle and the Pacers so far this season. The traction was just never really there between LeVert and the Pacers. Turner is just a bonus for the Raptors to get some versatility and rim protection in the starting unit.
In this hypothetical trade deal, the Bulls ship off DJJ, TBJ, Coby, and Williams to the Pacers. The Pacers wind up sending Turner and LeVert to the Raptors. And then, the Pacers send wing Torrey Craig to the Bulls.

The Raptors throw in a lottery-protected future first to the Pacers to get this deal done. And they send Siakam to the Bulls to cap it all off. There are a lot of moving parts to this trade idea, but the Bulls would definitely get some immediate value out of it.
