Hey, you know the escalating rumors of the Kings acquiring Pascal Siakam? Forget about that. According to Shams Charania, the Kings have backed out of those talks.
The Sacramento Kings are deciding to pull out of the Pascal Siakam talks, sources say. Things can be fluid, but Kings-Raptors talks are now over. https://t.co/oQtwcbKtjF

As Shams notes, talks could always resume at a later time, but for now the Siakam dream is dead. It’s hard to know what caused the sudden change of heart. Perhaps Siakam’s camp made it known he wouldn’t re-sign in Sacramento. Perhaps Toronto was insisting on including Keegan Murray. It’s hard to know until details leak out, if they ever do.
Whatever the reason, enjoy watching Siakam in Sacramento tonight, because you’re unlikely to see him here again anytime soon.
LFG! Thank goodness.
Bummer. Siakam, I feel would have put us one three-and-D two guard away from being a Western Conf contender.
Bet it ends up the Warriors or Lakers
Kuminga supposedly bad mouth Steve Kerr. Canadian Andrew Wiggins has been not quite his usual self after his time away late last season.
Salaries (with filler) match up. And Dunleavy has “much to prove”
I wonder if the duds would have any interest in bringing HB back.
He doesn’t fit with his lack of shooting and lack of rim protection with Domas
I think Masai was hopping on us making our players available report to use it as leverage to get other teams to cough up more
See ya, Siakam!
(in free-agency next year. Come chase a ring with us!)
BREAKING: Kings trade for Pascal, Pedro.

Poopy please

“Raptors send Siakam to Sacramento… on team plane for Friday’s game.”
Shams forgot to read his sources fully
If the Raps asked for Keegan I hope Monte told them…

The whole crazy concept of trading equal value to a team that actually wants those players ruins all of these fantasies.
Good
