10. Pascal Siakam

The Pascal Siakam to Dallas rumors are starting to pick up some steam, and he is seeming more like a viable option by the day. Siakam is someone who Dallas has been linked to for over a week, and the Mavs also called about him over the summer.

He would take this team to another level if the Mavs could find a way to land him, and they would immediately become NBA Finals contenders.

This season for the Raptors, Siakam is averaging 22.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. He is as complete of an offensive weapon as you can find at his position, and his fit in Dallas is superb.

He would be playing alongside two other offensive juggernauts in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and their offense with him in it is unstoppable. Siakam is extremely crafty when getting downhill and is a great scorer in the paint. He can also create his shot whenever he wants, and his footwork and spin move makes him a nightmare to guard.

Landing Siakam would be easier said than done though, as Dallas may not have the assets to get it done. They could send the Raptors multiple young assets and a first-round pick, but this trade only makes sense if they know they can re-sign him over the summer.
