Halfway through the NBA regular season, in the mid-season trade market, Siakam, Dejounte Murray, Anunoby, DeRozan, LaVine and others were all big fish in the trade market, but Anunoby was traded by the Knicks early, Siakam was also traded by the Pacers, and there are fewer and fewer high-quality players left. The Lakers have gone 4-2 in their last 6 games, Russell and Reaves have refound their form, and Pelinka has hesitated to trade again. The Warriors missed out on All-Star forward Siakam, and it's less likely that they'll want to trade for a major change in lineup. Siakam has the height, the defense, and the ability to score, and what kind of spark will he make with Haliburton when he joins the Pacers?
This season, Siakam averaged 22.2 points + 6.3 rebounds + 4.8 assists + 0.8 steals per game, shooting 52.2% from the field, 37% from three-point range, and 75.8% from the free throw line. Although Siakam was only born in the No. 27 pick, he won the championship + was selected to the All-Star team twice in the Raptors, and his offensive and defensive abilities are actually very good. Siakam Raptors career 52 points + 12 rebounds + 9 assists in a single game, 45 points + 9 rebounds + 5 assists in a single game, 43 points + 11 rebounds + 3 assists in a single game, etc. Siakam has reached the level of an All-Star forward.
Many NBA experts, reporters and fans are curious, Siakam and Haliburton teamed up, what kind of statistics and performance will they play? Haliburton is the super assist king this season, he averages 23.6 points + 4.2 rebounds + 12.5 assists (first in the league) + 1.1 steals + 0.7 blocks per game, shooting 50% from the field and 40.3% from three-point range. Haliburton has an offensive efficiency of 125.3 (first in the league) and his assist rate of 50.2 percent (first in the league). There's no doubt that Haliburton has now become one of the best playmakers in the league, and he can make the Pacers play the best offense in the league.
This season, the Pacers are a team that is weak offensively and defensively, ranking first in the league in offensive efficiency (121.6) but 27th in defensive efficiency (119.5). If the Pacers had traded Anunoby and Siakam together, they would have had a chance to change the team's defensive system. There is only one Siakam now, and it is difficult to completely change the Pacers' defensive ecology and improve the defense. This season, the Pacers' offense-related stats are among the league's highest, and defense-related stats are at the bottom of the league. For example, the Pacers are averaging points per game (125.6), assists per game (31), shooting percentage (50.8%), interior points per game (57.2), and bench points per game (50.3), all of which rank first in the league.
NBA salary experts reported that Siakam is eligible to sign a super-max contract with the Pacers this summer offseason (up to $260 million over five years). Now 29 years old, Siakam is in the prime of his career and will definitely want to get a max contract. If Siakam gets a super-max salary and has good chemistry with Haliburton to lead the Pacers to prominence, then this is the best example of a basketball player reaching the top of his life. Haliburton, Siakam, Turner, Mathurin, Hield, Nesmith, Toppin, Nembhard, McConaughey and others, can the Pacers make waves in the Eastern Conference?
