At this point in the NBA regular season, with 20 or more games played, teams around the league start to figure out what they have with their rosters and whether moves should be made before the NBA trade deadline in February.
One team that looks like it might be considering making some major moves to start a rebuilding process is the Toronto Raptors, with the team currently sporting a record of 9-13 while clearly not being a contender this season.
Fortunately for the Raptors, the team has some valuable assets that can be moved ahead of the trade deadline in February, with plenty of teams expected to show interest.
Over the past few seasons, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam have been two notable players who have been frequently mentioned in trade rumors, and it appears that this season is no different.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, three teams have emerged as potential trade suitors for Anunoby and Siakam, via Hoop Central.

The Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers, and Sacramento Kings are all talented teams, but it does seem like they need to shake things up in order to really be considered a force to be reckoned with in their respective conferences.
The Hawks might be the most desperate of the three teams mentioned, as Trae Young and company currently have a losing record and need to figure things out or bring in an influx of talent to help right the ship.
The Pacers are the team with the most upside and could benefit from adding Anunoby and or Siakam, while the Kings are also a team trying to take that next step while competing in the Western Conference.
