We hear this phraseology a lot, and it typically is way overstated -- because it ignores that
1 while in theory he's desirable, not all teams would REALLY be making a run at Siakam,
2 while in theory he can be traded anywhere, him "wanting to go there" would be a practical necessity, and would become a qualifier that would eliminate many teams from investing, and
3 it blindly assumes that having "more to offer" would actually end up with such teams going all in with that "more" they have, and that is not how trades tend to work
IOW, what they could offer is not the same as what they would offer.
