Toronto has discussed trades for Siakam with several teams around the league, but is facing two issues. One, the Raptors are asking a fairly steep price and, two, with an expiring contract, the team that trades for Siakam wants some insurance that he will re-sign.
Brown is also in the final year of his contract and there is a team option for next season at $23 million.
