They made the playoffs last season and have tons of young players that can help the team improve again. They are potentially looking to add even more young talent.</p><p>According to <a href="https://www.tsn.ca/raptors-banking-on-internal-growth-after-quiet-off-season-1.1854126">Josh Lewenberg of TSN</a>, the Raptors are keeping an eye out for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, an All-Star-caliber player on the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder. “One of the situations they’re closely monitoring, according to a league source, is in Oklahoma City, where Toronto-born star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may eventually tire of leading a rebuild,” writes Lewenberg.</p><p>Nothing is expected to come of the SGA situation with the Thunder at the moment. The young, budding star is under contract for five more seasons and has given <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/i-believe-in-this-team-shai-gilgeous-alexanders-strong-take-on-thunder-heading-into-2022-season/">no hints that he wants to leave OKC</a>. It may be a few years before he considers demanding a trade. If he does, though, the Raptors seem ready to pounce.</p><p>Building a future around Gilgeous-Alexander, a Toronto native, and Scottie Barnes would certainly be fun for the Raptors. SGA’s scoring abilities are tremendous and he could be a solid defensive contributor under the tutelage of Nick Nurse. Toronto has the draft picks needed to make a trade with the Thunder as well as some other young players.</p><p>After being one of the teams <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raptors-rumors-woj-drops-eye-opening-kevin-durant-trade-that-will-have-toronto-fans-going-wild/">linked the most heavily to Kevin Durant</a>, the Raptors opted to keep what they have going and rebuild around younger talent. If Gilgeous-Alexander becomes available, though, Toronto may want to bring the Canadian back home.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But, that whole storyline changed <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kevin-durant-gives-joe-tsai-a-steve-nash-sean-marks-ultimatum/">after he met with owner Joe Tsai over the weekend and said he needs to either choose him or Steve Nash and Sean Marks</a>. In other words, KD wants both fired.</p><p>It remains to be seen what Tsai will decide, but there are three teams in particular that continue to call the Nets to discuss a possible Kevin Durant blockbuster: The Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors.</p><p><a href="https://theathletic.com/3485297/2022/08/08/kevin-durant-nets-trade-steve-nash/">Via Shams:</a></p><p>“The Celtics, Toronto Raptors, and Miami Heat remain the most significant candidates to acquire Durant, sources said, with Boston’s package centering around All-Star forward Jaylen Brown seen as a viable deal.”</p><p>The C’s part is interesting. Jaylen Brown wasn’t pleased to see his name pop up in trade rumors after just helping the team make the NBA finals. But, when a player of Kevin Durant’s caliber becomes available, you pounce. The Nets also wanted Marcus Smart in a package though and that may be the only way Brooklyn actually pulls this off.</p><p>As for the Heat, they can’t include Bam Adebayo because of rules to do with two players on the same roster on rookie max deals. Ben Simmons is currently playing on one, too. Miami would be hesitant to part ways with Bam anyway, with the likes of Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, and perhaps even Max Strus or Gabe Vincent, plus picks of course, possibly on the table.</p><p>When it comes to the Raptors, there is one player, in particular, the Nets want for Kevin Durant: Scottie Barnes. Toronto fans do not want to see their squad give up the Rookie of the Year, who profiles to be a massive part of their future. The Raps already made it clear they won’t include Barnes.</p><p>After some quiet weeks, there is some action again. Perhaps a Kevin Durant trade could be coming sooner rather than later.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Utah Jazz are in the middle of making major changes to their roster, with Donovan Mitchell seemingly out the door right after Rudy Gobert. The New York Knicks have expressed the most interest, but there are reportedly six other known teams tossing their hat in the ring.</p><p><a href="https://theathletic.com/3446562/2022/07/25/celtics-offer-jaylen-brown-package-for-kevin-durant-the-latest-on-donovan-mitchell-and-more-inside-pass/">According to Shams Charania of The Athletic</a>, “along with New York, several other teams have expressed interest to the Jazz when it comes to Mitchell.” Those franchises include the Washington Wizards, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, Charlotte Hornets, Sacramento Kings, and Atlanta Hawks. So, it sounds like the Knicks have some competition as rumors suggest that Utah’s phones are ringing off the hook.</p><p>If the rumors are true, then the Jazz have plenty of options available right now. The franchise is in a great spot to rebuild, especially considering Utah already acquired a mountain of draft picks in the Rudy Gobert trade. Now, the organization could reel in a solid package for Donovan Mitchell if they choose to trade him away.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-rumors-donovan-mitchell-domino-effect-looms-large-as-trade-talks-heat-up/">This is less than ideal</a> for the Knicks, though. They’ve expressed the most interest in the superstar shooting guard as the franchise hopes to get back to the playoffs, and all these other teams being involved will only drive up the price for him. New York has a bundle of assets at its disposal to trade, which Danny Ainge knows all too well as he tries to drive another hard bargain.</p><p>Keep an eye on Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz, as trade rumors are going to continue heating up. Until a deal is either finalized or Utah decides to keep its superstar, the NBA rumor mill is going to remain on fire.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Moore indicates that Toronto was seeking the No. 7 pick, a future first-rounder, and one of Josh Hart or Nasir Little in the deal. That as a price the Blazers were unwilling to match, which is ultimately why the deal fell through. Portland ended up selecting Shaedon Sharpe with their first-round pick.</p><p>Moore also reports that there’s some skepticism regarding Anunoby’s desire to leave Toronto, or whether he will even be traded, as there is some belief that it is all a smokescreen from opposing executives in order to get some leverage in trade talks.</p><p>While Anunoby’s future in Toronto remains unclear, the deal with the Blazers fell through, and now we have a better understanding of where things went south. The asking price from the Raptors for Anunoby is steep, which could indicate that Masai Ujiri isn’t overly keen on trading Anunoby, unless he’s able to get quite the haul in exchange.</p><p>Last season in Toronto, Anunoby averaged 17.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists across 48 games. He shot 44.3% from the field and 36.3% from 3-point range.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Raptors have been rumored to be shopping young guard OG Anunoby ahead of the draft, with various teams linked to the 24-year-old. Now, Toronto has made clear what they are seeking in any trade for Anunoby. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeLFischer/status/1540090426526515202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1540090426526515202%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost-new.php">Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer</a>, the Raptors would only consider moving Anunoby in exchange for “an elite center.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Consistently heard Toronto’s only appetite to trade OG Anunoby is for an elite center. Raptors remain linked to Rudy Gobert, called on Jarrett Allen back in February, per sources.</p><p>We’ll talk all offseason chatter w/ <a href="https://twitter.com/SethPartnow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@SethPartnow</a> tomorrow <a href="https://twitter.com/getcallin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@getcallin</a> 4ET: <a href="https://t.co/2eaZmN60v6" target="_blank">https://t.co/2eaZmN60v6</a></p><p>— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeLFischer/status/1540090426526515202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">June 23, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>While Anunoby remains a possible trade target on Thursday night, and beyond, the Raptors have their sights set on landing a top-quality center in any deal. Fischer mentions links between the Raptors and Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert. The Jazz are rumored to be open to trading Gobert this offseason and there’s a possibility he could be moved at the draft, and the Raptors could make sense as a fit.</p><p>Pairing a talented big man alongside the likes of Scottie Barnes, Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam, along with the rest of Toronto’s core, could be exactly what the team needs to go on a run back to the NBA Finals. Anunoby, while talented, has only featured in 91 games over the past two seasons, and hasn’t played in more than 71 since his rookie season.</p><p>He is coming off a solid season for the Raptors, during which he averaged 17.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. With various teams interested in bringing him on board, it doesn’t seem likely a deal gets done unless someone tempts Toronto with a talented big man, which certainly decreases the likelihood of Anunoby being <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-rumors-in-pursuit-of-raptors-og-anunoby-after-jerami-grant-trade/">dealt to the Blazers</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
