Fred VanVleet was not selected in the 2016 draft, although he has since found a spot in Toronto's rotation. The 25-year-old has performed well in his backup role to Kyle Lowry, although Bleacher Report suggests that the Raptors will consider trading him this summer:

Fred VanVleet is working off a down year after he generated Sixth Man of the Year buzz last season. The Raptors aren't getting much for him in standalone deals. Larger trade packages are a different story.

No-one is safe if the Raptors lose their MVP. They could let VanVleet's salary come off the books while they try to stay relevant with Marc Gasol (player option), Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam, or they could look to sell off whatever assets they have and steer into a rebuild.

During the regular season, VanVleet averaged 11.0 points and 4.8 assists per game - and he is set to earn $9million for the 19/20 campaign.
