There is only one member of the Raptors championship + all the starters left!

On January 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. Earlier today, a three-way deal was struck. As the subject of the trade, Siakam was sent to the Pacers and the Raptors were given Bruce Brown and Wola.

After the deal was struck, the Raptors' 2019 championship starting lineup, including Leonard, Marc Gasol, Lowry, Siakam and Serge Ibaka, had all left the team. Only Boucher is still on the Raptors championship team, but he only played in two playoff games in the playoffs during the championship season and did not play in the Finals.

Subsequently, the overseas data media StatMuse then counted the honors of the Siakam Raptors career, the details are as follows:

- 5th in team history in total scoring (8875 points)

-- Third in total rebounds team history (3,324)

- 5th in total assists (1,846)

- At least 25 points + 5 boards + 5 assists in a single game, the first in team history

- Most Improved Player (18-19)

- 2-time All-Star ('19-20, '22-23)

- Two-time Team of the Year selection (2 in 19-20 and 3 in 21-22)

- First champion in team history (2018-19 season)

Siakam played a total of seven and a half seasons for the Raptors, playing in 510 regular season games, averaging 17.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 31 minutes per game, shooting 49.1%/32.7%/77.2% from three. In the playoffs, he played a total of 53 games, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, scoring 15.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks, and shooting 45.9%/25.8%/75.7% from three.

Raptors reporter Michael Grange then wrote about why the Raptors and Siakam broke up. The Raptors had previously offered Siakam the highest price a team could give: a three-year, roughly $125 million contract extension that runs through the end of the 2026-27 season. But Siakam turned down the offer at the time, aiming to make the NBA All-NBA team again to qualify for a four-year, $223 million super-cap contract. And the Raptors made it clear in their communication with Siakam that the Raptors do not intend to offer Siakam a super-max contract, even if he can meet the super-cap salary conditions (All-NBA).

Regarding the deal, Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg wrote: "If the team thinks it can't keep Anunoby and Siakam, or isn't willing to renew their contracts with high salaries, then it can't risk losing them for nothing, and that's the way to go." On this premise, the returns on both trades are not bad. But the rewards of the Sika trade aren't what the Raptors want the most. It's clear that the Raptors' priority is for rewards with young players who have the potential to become stars over draft picks. But they ended up with three mid-round picks in such unfavorable conditions, which was the ultimate in the game. But I have to say that this situation is all caused by the Raptors management itself. ”

It's worth mentioning that the Raptors got Bruce Brown in this deal, but the team doesn't seem to plan on a long-term relationship with him. According to Clutchpoints reporter Brett Siegel, Bruce Brown is now an important player before the trade deadline because he has only one year left on his contract, a salary of only $23 million next season (team option), and he is an important part of the Nuggets' championship-winning roster. So far this season, Brown has played in 33 games for the Pacers, averaging 12.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

So far, the Raptors have a 15-25 record and are temporarily in 12th place in the East. As mentioned at the beginning, with the 2019 champions leaving the team one after another, the Raptors are completely rebuilding.
