The Toronto Raptors are not a team that is looking to contend for a championship.
They recently traded away O.G. Anunoby and reportedly are not finished yet.
Another Raptors star that has been rumored to be on the move has been Pascal Siakam.
He is 28-years-old and having another strong season.
According to Tim Bontemps via NBA Central, league sources expect the Raptors to move Siakam before the trade deadline.

Siakam would be a welcomed addition to any contending team as he is averaging 22.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.
One team in particular that should make a call for Siakam is the Golden State Warriors.
They are in their “win-now” window and need another scorer opposite Stephen Curry.
The Warriors also have a few young players they may be willing to part with.
There has reportedly been growing concern in which Jonathan Kuminga does not feel that Steve Kerr can unlock his potential.
He is reportedly unhappy about this role and would most likely be open to playing elsewhere.
If the Raptors are looking to rebuild, they could do much worse than adding a few of the Warriors’ younger players.
Siakam is an unrestricted free agent at season’s end, so a deal makes sense for them.
It is wise for them to get something for him while they can.
