OG Anunoby Articles - Page 8

The Brooklyn Nets made all sorts of waves in the basketball world on Sunday after pulling the trigger on a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Mavericks centered around Kyrie Irving. At this point, however, they might not be done just yet. Brooklyn is now being linked to another big move ahead of the NBA trade […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are sitting in a… not-so-good place right now in the West. At 25-26 and in 11th place, there’s still a chance for them to leapfrog to a higher seed. As it stands, though, their roster needs quite a bit of work to be competitive. Luckily for Damian Lillard and co, the […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are back to the similar position they were in last season. The Grizzlies are at 32-19 despite the prolonged absence of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane at one point this season. Steven Adams is expected to miss 3-5 weeks, but Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman have been stepping up tremendously. Jackson […]

OG Anunoby has found himself as the subject of plenty of trade rumors over the past year or so. And for the Toronto Raptors, the best course of action for them may be to cash in on the 25-year old forward as a trade asset, given that he could net them a considerable return. Moreover, […]

The Indiana Pacers, despite posting a stronger-than-expected 2022-23 campaign, are currently in free-fall. Before Tyrese Haliburton went down with knee and elbow injuries against the New York Knicks on January 11, the Pacers were comfortably in an outright playoff spot with a 23-18 record. They have gone 1-10 since (including the Knicks loss), which goes […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby may be the most popular trade target in the league right now. Multiple teams having been linked to Anunoby for weeks and the New York Knicks are rumored to be willing to surrender three first-round picks for the six-year pro. With that report came the intel that the Memphis Grizzlies […]

OG Anunoby is one of the biggest players who could be on the move ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 9, and the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans could be likely destinations despite rumors that the New York Knicks have great interest. Recently, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that the Raptors believe […]

Has the Phoenix Suns’ contending window closed for good? Now that is an interesting question that could take us in plenty of interesting directions. Their crushing loss to the Dallas Mavericks in last year’s playoffs, to go along with choking away a 2-0 NBA Finals lead against the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021, appears to be […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are a franchise on the rise, gradually improving year to year since drafting Ja Morant second overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. With the title race as wide open as it has ever been in quite a while, the Grizzlies have all the looks of a championship team. Armed with suffocating perimeter […]

Since the Raptors are no longer in the play-in picture, this season is getting out of control. They could shut it all down and strive for a high lottery pick if they can’t improve matters in the next weeks. There’s a chance they’ll be big sellers or actually be idle at the trade deadline. Recall […]

With the February 9th NBA trade deadline just around the corner, the clock is ticking on any big moves. Organizations such as the New York Knicks are in the thick of a heated playoff race, so any last-minute addition could make a big difference. One of the names connected with the Knicks is OG Anunoby […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby has found his name in trade rumors for months and with the deadline quickly approaching, it appears Masai Ujiri and the front office are willing to potentially move him. Per Shams Charania, the Raps are starting to take calls for the 25-year-old, with the Phoenix Suns showing serious interest: The […]

The fates of some contending teams with the trade deadline fast approaching appear to be at the hands of the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors reportedly have made all of the members of their core except Scottie Barnes available in a trade. Thus, a potential bidding war could ensue for the likes of Pascal Siakam, OG […]

OG Anunoby did not do much to dispel the recent trade rumors that have linked him to a looming move away from the Toronto Raptors. While he did deny the validity of the said rumors, all he said was that, “no, it is what it is,” which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence for Raptors fans who […]

The Toronto Raptors have undoubtedly been one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams this season. Despite coming into the 2022-23 campaign with playoff expectations, the Raptors currently own a 23-28 record, just the 12th-best in the Eastern Conference. Toronto wouldn’t even qualify for the play-in tournament if the regular season ended today. Because of all […]

The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and it seems like we could be entering an extremely chaotic deadline across the league. There aren’t many teams that are really out of playoff contention right now, which may encourage teams to be aggressive in pulling off deals. There are many players who are […]

The interest in Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is seemingly growing as the NBA trade deadline gets nearer. Apart from the New York Knicks, another potential suitor for Anunoby has come out to the surface in the form of the Phoenix Suns (h/t Shams Charania of The Athletic). “The Knicks and Suns are among the […]

The Toronto Raptors face the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night on the second leg of a tough back-to-back. Nick Nurse’s team fell to the Golden State Warriors 129-117 in San Francisco on Friday, losing touch with the defending champions midway through the fourth quarter. OG Anunoby left the Raptors’ loss early in the second quarter […]

Toronto Raptors swingman OG Anunoby was forced to exit Friday’s game against the Golden State Warriors due to wrist injury and didn’t return. Anunoby sustained the injury early in the second quarter of what ended a 129-117 defeat for the Raptors. As he attacked the basket past Jordan Poole, Anunoby fell awkwardly and landed hard […]

There’s recently been a lot of buzz surrounding OG Anunoby and what now appears to be his looming departure from the Toronto Raptors. The 25-year-old himself seems to have already made it clear that he wants out of Toronto, which has sounded the alarm for a handful of opposing teams around the league. At this […]

It’s not quite clear yet what the Toronto Raptors would decide to do with the NBA trade deadline approaching. But with a 22-27 record, the expectation that the Raptors would sell remains. And if that happens, the Raptors may not have a more attainable and enticing trade asset than 3 and D wing OG Anunoby. […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby wants to be traded, according to longtime Toronto radio personality Bob McCowan (h/t Esfandiar Baraheni of SDPN Sports). Just heard this on the Bob McCowan podcast: “I talked to an NBA insider yesterday, this is a guy I’ve known for a few years, he tells me… Anunoby wants out of […]

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is good to go for Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, according to a Tuesday tweet from Raptors NBA Beat Reporter Josh Lewenberg. The MRI the Raptors were awaiting the results of came back clean. “He told me he’s 94%,” Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said. OG Anunoby was ruled […]

The Sacramento Kings received a ton of flak for trading away Tyrese Haliburton in exchange for Domantas Sabonis. Sure, Haliburton and De’Aaron Fox didn’t have the most seamless fit in the Kings backcourt. But players with Haliburton’s potential usually don’t get traded while they’re still on their rookie scale contract. However, it’s clear that the […]

One of the most prominent teams to watch out for with the trade deadline coming up in around two weeks’ time is the Toronto Raptors. Armed with a slew of pieces that could help contending teams in Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Fred VanVleet, and Gary Trent Jr., what the Raptors end up doing will dictate […]

The New York Knicks currently have a 25-23 record thanks in large part to a strong December effort that saw them win eight games in a row. It’s evident that the Knicks possess enough pieces in place to at least make the postseason. Jalen Brunson, signed to a four-year, $104 million deal in the offseason, […]

At first glance, the Toronto Raptors look like they have all the makings of a team that thrives in today’s NBA. Armed with a plethora of switchable wings with considerable skill, they look like a team that could make the lives of their opponents a living hell on both ends of the floor, capable of […]

The Toronto Raptors are looking to get back on track as they face the New York Knicks on Sunday. Unfortunately, they are dealing with some key injuries as they continue to struggle. On the official NBA injury report, O.G. Anunoby and Fred VanVleet were both listed as questionable due to right ankle soreness and right […]

Saturday’s marquee matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors produced a handful of worrying injuries for both teams. Marcus Smart and Robert Williams exited the game in the first half with respective injuries, and now, it’s the Raptors who were bitten by the injury bug after OG Anunoby was forced to sit out […]

The Toronto Raptors may be one of the most promising teams in the NBA, with an intriguing cast of characters that pride themselves on their length and defensive ability. Nonetheless, the 11th-seed Raptors do have kinks to work out in their rotation. Namely, a number of promising players who desire a larger offensive role and […]

The Toronto Raptors have played well as of late. However, they are still in the midst of an underwhelming 2022-2023 campaign. As a result, the Raptors may opt to trade stars such as OG Anunoby. But acquiring Anunoby is expected to come at an expensive cost, per Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer. “Raptors officials have left […]

As the 2023 NBA trade deadline on February 9 quickly approaches, the Indiana Pacers have some decisions to make. The biggest question mark for the franchise is, are they buyers or are they sellers? If they’re sellers, the Pacers’ trade deadline strategy has to include Myles Turner heading out first, as he has the most […]

The Toronto Raptors’ wacky roster construction appears to be catching up to them. With a lack of a true center and an obvious lack of backcourt depth, the Raptors have struggled this season despite having All-Star caliber talents in Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and OG Anunoby. Through 41 games, the Raptors have won just 18 […]

The Toronto Raptors aren’t a very good team right now. They aren’t exactly out of the playoff race out in the East, but there’s no denying that this team has failed to live up to the expectations most folks had on them entering the season — at least not yet. It seems that there is […]

Nearly halfway through the 2022-23 campaign, the Toronto Raptors find themselves in basketball purgatory. The team currently owns a 16-21 record, good enough for the 12th-best in the Eastern Conference. In layman’s terms, Toronto isn’t good enough to compete for a playoff spot but isn’t bad enough to have a legit shot at landing Victor […]

The trade possibilities keep coming in as the Toronto Raptors’ season continues to falter. The majority of these scenarios center on 6’7 forward OG Anunoby. Recall that he was selected by the Raptors with the 23rd overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Here we will look at the four best trade destinations for Raptors […]

The Toronto Raptors are in a downward spiral this season, which has many teams eyeing them for possible trades at the deadline in February. One Raptors player garnering a ton of interest is OG Anunoby, but it appears he’s not their most coveted trade candidate. That’s actually sharpshooter Gary Trent Jr, according to numerous NBA […]

It should go without saying that there are no more coveted assets in the NBA than a bonafide superstar, a player talented enough to change the course of a franchise. Just this past offseason, Donovan Mitchell (and Rudy Gobert) brought back massive returns for the Utah Jazz. However, after them, 3 and D wings who […]

The New York Knicks are currently in the midst of a remarkable turnaround. Led by Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, the Knicks have won seven straight games, a surge that has brought them to sixth in the East. The Knicks may be rolling at the moment, but it was only two weeks ago when their […]
