NBA Trade Rumors: Exploring six teams that should be willing to offer everything for OG Anunoby if he were to hit the trade block.
The Toronto Raptors are clearly struggling. And there have been rumblings that they could emerge as a seller at the NBA Trade Deadline. It would be shocking if Toronto is already at that place but if they can’t turn things around in the next few weeks, the Raptors are a team that could elect to retool their roster at the deadline by making a huge splash.
And the one player on their roster that could garner huge interest on the open market is OG Anunoby.
OG Anunoby is worth the huge expected price tag
Anunoby is one of the best and most overlooked rising stars. He’s just 25 years old and is one of the best two-way players in the league. He may not be as flashy as some of the other big names in the league, but is extremely valuable when he’s playing at a high level on both ends of the floor.
So far this season, Anunoby is averaging a career-high 19 points and six rebounds on 47 percent shooting from the field.
If the Raptors get to a place where they’d be open to the possibility of trading Anunoby, there should be a vast bidding war. ESPN’s Zach Lowe believes he could bring a return that would rival Donovan Mitchell’s during the offseason.
If that is indeed the case, let’s explore six teams that should be willing to offer everything for the possibility of landing Anunoby.
