NBA Trade Rumors: 8 surprising names that may seek a fresh start this offseason
OG Anunoby, Toronto Raptors
With how this season has gone for the Toronto Raptors, I believe that it would be extremely surprising if they decided to bring back the same exact roster next season. In fact, I believe that this is a team that could be in store for some big changes this offseason. There’s a chance that they could lose their head coach and at least two key contributors (Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr.) via free agency. The big question is whether they’d be open to trading another one of their key contributors.
The reason why OG Anunoby is on this list is that I believe he’s going top be traded this summer. He was reportedly nearly moved at the NBA Trade Deadline and with the way the Raptors are trending, if they could get a huge haul for Anunoby, it’s something that they should at the very least explore.
Anunoby is one of the most underrated two-way stars in the league and may want a shot at having a larger role for a team. As talented as Anunoby is, I don’t believe many think he’s a fundamental building block for the Raptors. Those two pieces, at least for now, are Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam.
It would not be surprising in the least if Anunoby pushed for a change of scenery this offseason because of that.
