DEAL ACCEPTED: Indiana Pacers NBA Basketball Pascal Siakam Signs a 4-year Contract With the Dallas Mavericks, worth $152 Million as their new…..

In a stunning move that shakes up the Western Conference, the Dallas Mavericks have officially signed All-Star forward Pascal Siakam to a 4-year, $152 million contract, sources confirm. The deal was finalized earlier today, with Siakam leaving the Indiana Pacers to join a Mavericks squad eager to contend for an NBA championship.

The 30-year-old Cameroonian forward brings a dynamic two-way presence to Dallas, expected to complement franchise cornerstone Luka Dončić and rising star Dereck Lively II. Siakam’s addition marks one of the most significant free agency moves of the 2025 NBA offseason.

A Major Shift for Dallas

With the Mavericks falling just short in recent playoff runs, team executives had made it clear that this offseason was pivotal. By acquiring Siakam, Dallas gains a player with championship pedigree—he won a title with the Toronto Raptors in 2019—and a proven ability to perform in high-pressure moments.

Siakam averaged 21.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists during the 2024–2025 season, showcasing versatility as a scorer, playmaker, and defender. His fit in Dallas’ system under head coach Jason Kidd is expected to be seamless, especially with his ability to play both forward positions and stretch the floor.

Goodbye Indiana

The Indiana Pacers acquired Siakam in a mid-season trade from the Toronto Raptors in early 2024, hoping to bolster their playoff chances. While his time in Indiana was brief, Siakam made a significant impact, helping guide the Pacers to a strong postseason showing. Ultimately, Indiana was unable to offer the combination of championship contention and financial terms that Dallas put on the table.

Looking Ahead

This move places Dallas firmly in the conversation as a Western Conference powerhouse. With Dončić’s offensive brilliance, Lively’s rim protection, and now Siakam’s veteran leadership and versatility, the Mavericks are signaling that they are all-in on chasing a title.

Siakam’s deal includes a player option in the final year, sources say, and he is expected to be formally introduced in a press conference later this week.
