The idea that a team’s best players should be involved or consulted on any major transaction is nice and it’s brought up all the time. Just don’t try it with Pascal Siakam.
With the Raptors about to make their first major move of their off-season — they are scheduled to make the 33rd selection in Thursday’s NBA draft — Siakam is content to sit back and watch the bosses do what they want.
He’s not going to trumpet any specific player, he’s not going to speak up to suggest this hole or that needs to be prioritized.
