Raptors' Pascal Siakam 'considered available' in trade discussions?

The Toronto Raptors are considering all of their options ahead of next week's NBA Draft, which could mean parting ways with one of their franchise cornerstones. 

According to Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer, the Raptors are reportedly exploring all sorts of trades ahead of the draft, including deals involving Pascal Siakam, who is "considered available" in discussions.  

Toronto has reportedly been among the most aggressive teams in the NBA this offseason, looking at options including trading up in the draft, trading down in the draft and trying to acquire an All-Star player, Fischer reported.

The Raptors have been linked to a trade involving the Cleveland Cavaliers' No. 3 pick. They have also been connected to a trade for Ben Simmons and a transaction involving the Golden State Warriors' first-round picks and James Wiseman. 

It's unclear which teams might be interested in Siakam. The 27-year-old averaged 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last season while shooting 45.5% from the field. 

Siakam, the 27th overall pick in the 2016 draft, has three years remaining on his four-year, $136.9 million deal. He'll become a free agent after the 2023-24 season.
