As the NBA offseason continues for all teams outside of Golden State and Boston, one of the more intriguing names to emerge in early league trade chatter has been Toronto Raptors swingman OG Anunoby. – via Jake Fischer @ Bleacher Report
Eric Koreen: 1. I’m sure lots of teams would like to acquire OG Anunoby. 2. I’m pretty sure Anunoby would like a bigger role, even if he has to understand that missing 30 games chipped away at his ability to maintain one 3. The Raptors would ask for a ton, and wouldn’t actively shop. – via Twitter ekoreen
Along those lines, don’t be surprised to see more smoke around a potential trade for OG Anunoby. The Raptors with a re-signed Masai Ujiri like their core, but ultimately upgrades will have to come with the inclusion of one of Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, or Anunoby, and Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes’ emergence opens the door for gauging Anunoby’s value on the market…– via Matt Moore @ Action Network
Among the potential trade partners for an Anunoby deal, Portland is consistently mentioned as a possibility, along with Denver and San Antonio. The Blazers are expected to be aggressive with the seventh pick in trade talks as they look to get win-now talent back around Damian Lillard. – via Matt Moore @ Action Network
Jake Fischer: I’m pretty aware from my conversations that Portland definitely is targeting OG (Anunoby), definitely someone that Lillard wants to pair with. – via Spotify
