The 3rd year guy with those percentages only took 11.8 attempts a game though.  Siakam went from a 3rd option in his 3rd year to a 1st option the past two years, and he ended up with a fairly similar percentage those 2 years.  Players tend to lose efficiency when they take on a bigger role and that was Siakam.  But he also has boosted his passing, decreased his turnovers, all while taking on the bigger offensive load (and maintaining his rebounding).

Siakam is a fine player, I'm just not sure he is worth giving up both Wiseman and 7 for.  That is a pretty darn good haul especially when you still have Wiggins performing alright (way overpaid, but usable solid player).  I just think Golden State could probably do better for Wiggins, Wiseman, and 7 than Siakam.  I do understand why the Warriors might do that though.

Any examples?  Because that is not going to get you Beal or Dame calibre

Raptors may need to throw in Malachi Flynn (1st round pick from last season), 2nd with Siakam...

But overall ... I dont believe GSW can do better.   Wouldnt be enough for Jaylen Brown imo
I think they could break up the package.  I mean I could see Wiggins and 7 or Wiseman maybe getting them McCollum, they could then use the other piece in a different trade.  I think they could get Hield or Barnes for Wiggins and 7, heck maybe even both.  Maybe they could get Vucevic for Wiggins and Wiseman. 

If they give up their 2 best assets in the same trade, they can't be wrong.  I just don't think Siakam is good enough for both of those assets to be used.
