[Jake Fisher] The word surrounding OG Anunoby’s trade candidacy

[srhcan]

Josh Hart and #7 for OG should be an easy yes for us. I hope we're not overrating our talent.

Definitely no. OG > Josh Hart + #7

[Jerry Lucas]

I would consider dealing OG and Birch to Portland for pick #7, one of Keon Johnson/Nas Little, Josh Hart and Eric Bledsoe (then decline his full guarantee for 2022-23).

Or OG and Birch to Sactown for pick #4, Davion, Holmes and one of Justin Holiday/Mo Harkless.

[Clutch0z24]

The 7th pick has legs considering Masai Brought in Dyson Daniels + Bennedict Mathurin....For me OG is the odd man out between Barnes/OG/Siakam....They just can't play together since they all play the same positions ....With OG And Barnes in the lineup Siakam is forced to be playing C since you have FVV/GTJr....And Siakam at C makes 0 sense for us ...

There for you pull the trigger on the trade and bring in that pick + some other assets and call it a day. Personally i would take Mathurin over Daniels just cause i see a full blown scorer in Mathurin like a Anthony Edwards type of player and thats something we are lacking

Jake Fischer is the biggest jerk among NBA rumourmongers. Bleacher Report is toilet paper. People should know better.

OG's all-nba caliber defender who can guard 1-5 and he can give you 18 points on decent efficiency with lots of 3. Plus, he's young and on a great contract. He's basically the type of player every team is looking for.

The guy you take at 7 better be an all-star caliber player otherwise you're going to lose the deal.

Josh Hart is a really good role player himself though. Someone who can play really good defense, guard multiple positions, has on ball/playmaking skills, and is an excellent rebounder (arguably league best) at his position.

Hart's useful, but he's going into the last year of his deal (he has a player option after next year). He's already making 13 mill a year, and you will likely need to give him OG money on an extension.

If Hart is agreeable to an early extension at OG money, like 4/75 then that's a great deal for him if you also get 4 years of rookie scale control of the player you pick at #7.... the problem is that it's just not really enough for OG. I highly doubt he wants out and I highly doubt we have any intentions of moving him - they'd part with Trent or FVV first. The things OG can do are integral to the roster plans going forward, he just unlocks so much of it by himself.

I could see how outsiders would hope or assume he's disappointed. He has a an injury setback seemingly every season and the team learns to play without him, and then has to relearn to play with him, but that's more on our ballhandlers who aren't super versatile or run offenses super well (post Kyle, that is).

I see OG being really happy as a key piece here, and likely up for a 4/100 type contract when he comes due. Hart is a fine player and kinda sorta fills a need. He would replace Trent if we think Gary is ultimately a trade piece, but you downgrade defensively and then you have a gaping hole where OG was if you don't get "that guy" with Trent or the #7. Masai would have to realllly like someone at #7, and I think Portland would have to add at least one more sweetener to make the value fair - and that's only if OG is actually of the mind that a better opportunity may exist elsewhere, which is a risk, especially if Portand is where he ends up, as the team will be solf in the next year or so and who really knows what their immediate goals are, or if he remains there and doesn't just get moved onward again since he is super desirable.

I will repeat... if we're moving any of our core 6, it's Gary and Fred that are more likely to go.

One thing to remember is Toronto's cap situation. If we keep both Trent and OG, they will both be making a combined $46-48M/ year and maybe more.

I very much rather trade Trent and try to get Daniels but don't think Trent will command a top 10 pick with only 1 year remaining.... it's too bad we couldn't get him on a 3+1 deal, would have made a major difference.

I'd do the deals below (obv have to make salaries work):

POR # 7 for Trent
Sac #4, future 1st for OG

If we could get Dyson that would be crazy.

[GreatWhiteStiff]

“Two sources with knowledge of the dynamic told B/R that Anunoby has not directly expressed discontent with his situation with the Raptors.”

Doubt this is anything but speculation

The way this is worded could mean "OG anunoby has indirectly expressed discontent with his situation with the raptors"...though I'm not saying he has, of course.

[Brinbe]

We want a rim protecting C and it would take a lot to pry OG away.

There's the summary.

Jake is acting as a conduit for the Jazz/Blazers FO to basically say they would want OG but there's not really a deal there to be done with either team.

You basically have to read between the lines in NBA journaliam, they're often just mouthpieces for agents and front office types.

I don't think OG (or anyone on this roster) is untouchable, but this front office is good at being patient and waiting for an acceptable return. Hart and 7 is clearly not even close to enough for OG, even tacking on more picks doesn't move the needle. OG is an above-average 3+D guy on a good deal, that's an incredibly valuable asset.

[Stromile12]

I love OG but.. shaedon sharpe is looking pretty nice.

[PhilBlackson]

I'd only be willing to part with OG if by some miracle Sharpe fell to 7th. This team still needs a go to scorer, that's not Daniels' game and I think Mathurin can be a really good scorer but I don't think go-to.

Yup...exactly.

Long-term, we can't hang on to this top heavy starting lineup and have them all making 25-30 million each per year.

As much as I love OG...moving him makes a lot of sense if it gets you a top 7 pick and gets you a potential second star on the same timeline as Scottie.

I consider OG and Gary as the most tradeable and likely to be traded before their current contracts are up.

I don't think management is keen on trading Fred and Pascal as they are the veteran presence and culture setters.

I think there's a very good chance Sharpe falls to 7. I think Keegan is going to DET and Mathurin has a body of work that Indy can count on.

IF Toronto somehow gets 7 though, I think they going after Dyson. He does so much on the court which we love.

[bluerap23]

Our core 6 will not be traded for gobert, picks or a package. Top 10 player hits the market and we can talk.

[wegotthabeet]

Hart and 7 for OG is only worth it on draft day depending on who is available. I’d much rather look for a Fred trade partner.

Maybe we can sign and trade Fred to Chicago for Zach if he truly wants out. Give them back draft capital as well

Agreed that #7 is only worth it if a top prospect is available. I would do it if Sharpe is available, and would try to pry another FRP from POR. Hart is going to be another expiring along with Fred/Gary.

I think Fred to Pels for #8 + sweetener is there if we really want to trade Fred, but I would be pretty shocked if we do. Pels may consider Gary as well if we add sweetener. I would do Trent + FRP if Mathurin was available.

Zach's next contract is going to be huge, don't want to take that on.

would prefer to deal Fred for the 8th than OG for the 7th.

[WuTang_CMB]

I'd have to guess OG is #3 most valuable on our team after Siakam and Scottie.

I very much would rather trade Trent to try and get Daniels.

[goinrogue]

Lol Portland trading their no 7 to get Gary back would be so embarrassing. I’m not really a big fan of Gary and Fred in the back court together. They’re both pretty shot happy and have ball hog tendencies. And neither can get to the rim. But with OG too we definitely need another slasher. Dyson Daniels makes sense. If we keep Fred long term, I want him to go back to a more off ball player.

[mtcan]

I very much would rather trade Trent to try and get Daniels.

But consider that Trent was a Trailblazer before they traded him to us...and the hard feelings that the Trent family seems to have against the Blazers organization for not believing in Jr. enough to play him and pay him.

Trent isn't going back to Portland...no way that is happening.

yeah POR would only do it for OG but Masai isn't doing that deal.

If there's a 3rd team that likes Trent and also has pieces that appeal to Portland, then that's the only way... but I don't think that gets us the 7th pick unless that 3rd team isn't too bright and gives up too much. Hart as a Trent replacement ain't bad if we think his defense can be improved. Their production and value are about similar, which is why I don't see us also getting a mid lotto pick on top of that. With an extension into Trent type money, maybe Hart is more agreeable to a 6th man type role than Gary?

[Badonkadonk]

Won't stop this from going to 20+ pages but this is just baseless speculation, likely from a team or agent trying to make things happen.
