The Toronto Raptors will trade OG Anunoby

The Toronto Raptors are a team that has taken a backseat in recent days, mostly due to the Kyrie Irving drama. However, this is still a team that could drive the action leading into the NBA Trade Deadline. And all eyes continue to be on Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. According to a recent report, the team is still discussing trades for the duo.

I firmly believe that, generally, where there’s smoke there is fire. The Raptors have to seriously be thinking of trading one of their key core players. And if that is the case, I think it will eventually happen. I predict OG Anunoby will be traded at this year’s deadline.

I think there are at least a couple of teams that are willing to throw two future first-round picks for OG. It will likely take a third to get it done. I think there’s at least one team that will offer that to the Raptors in the next few days if it already hasn’t happened.
