Unfortunately, Fred VanVleet’s play has declined this season. Moreover, he’s due to hit free agency this summer. All told, it feels like the relationship between these two sides could be over.

Of course, the Raptors would never agree to a Murray-for-Siakam swap. Hyland’s off-the-dribble shooting is a dynamic this Raptors team is lacking, and also one that gives him star upside.
