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

[Kingsway_fan]

Og for #4 I consider... nothing else

[OakleyDokely]

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

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.

[Prestige]

While I appreciate everything OG does for us, you can’t fall in love with all your players. In order to get something you need to give as well and OG is our greatest trade chip without breaking up the core.

If we can get a top 7 pick and possibly pair another future star player with Scottie, we need to go for it.

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.

Two sources with knowledge of the dynamic told B/R that Anunoby has not directly expressed discontent with his situation with the Raptors. Perhaps the conversation around him has been driven more by external interest in acquiring the fifth-year forward's services

Opposing teams want our players, nothing new.

If they want our players, they better pay the fair price, OG isnt forcing his way out, we got high character guys here.

I would do OG for Josh Hart, Keon Johnson, #7 pick and a future 1st.

[ruckus]

Nurkic S&T plus Hart + Portland #7 for OG? Is that possible under the rules or does a S&T have to be traded on their own?

[Spida888]

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.

[arbsn]

OG is super important for us because of his shooting and contract.

That being said, this year his touches went up and his efficiency went down.

I would never trade him for Gobert. The 4th pick and Harrison Barnes however would be a done deal.

[duppyy]

I love OG, just don't love how injury prone he has been so far.

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.

There's significant downside, for sure. To me it's only worth it if OG is truly unhappy and wants a market where he can get more touches. It makes sense to me that Klutch would want him out of Toronto, because 1) he can't get DPOY consideration here 2) he's due to be paid last out of Fred and Trent, meaning the money might not even be there 3) Toronto's shiny new toy is Barnes and they know he'll be favoured in development.

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

I'm not as high as some here on OG, simply because of durability.
But he's still very young, talented and is definitely worth more than the #7 + Hart.
This draft is VERY WEAK. Even weaker than the 2020 draft IMO.

I'd rather do OG for Simons + 2024 Blazers First Round Pick.

Literally the only knock on OG is his inability to stay healthy. He's very talented and IMO on one of the best contracts in the league.

no way they trade Simons though. they gave Simons the key when they traded McCollum away. I would be very surprised if they traded Simons for OG. and the ramifications is that FVV is gone.

and if they traded Simons for OG, there probably would not be any draft pick attached to it. probably be Hart and Simons for OG. but i don't see Portland doing that.

[OakleyDokely]

For me, OG's a keeper long term unless you're blown away with an offer.

He's young, he plays D, he hits 3, he has great size, he has an improving in-between game, he's a team player, he can play in any scheme, situation, scenario. One of the most plug and play players in the entire NBA.

After Barnes and maybe Siakam, he's the next most valuable asset the Raps have.

Simons is not a raptors player because he is the worst defensive player in the league so you let the blazers pay him the max.

Raps interview Daniels (top 8 pick), and now there's talk that Blazers are interested in OG.





Time to watch some Dyson Daniels youtube vids.

If not Toronto then OG would make sense in Indiana

[zmad]

Unless Bobby and Masai can get another all-star, there is no way they trade OG this off-season. They've gone on record saying they are moving forward with this core (Pascal, OG, Fred, GTJ, Precious and Scottie).

The only players, who might be available, that I imagine they'd consider trading OG for would have to be Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, KAT, Anthony Davis, Lillard, Jarret Allen...anyone else?

Think of the JV trade for Gasol or the Demar trade for Kawhi, those are the types of trades they'll make. They are not trading core players for draft picks...not gonna happen at this stage.

I’m not buying that OG is unhappy with his role. That just doesn’t seem like him, and he was option number one a couple of games in the playoffs. He basically already has the green light on most possessions anyway. We’ve pushed him to take on more of a ball handling role, too. That piece doesn’t make sense.

I could see him being unhappy about having to guard centers. That kinda stuff wears on you, and he may feel that’s contributed to his injury problems. Even still, I would think he’d express that to Nick / Masai first as that’s a roster management problem.

I mentioned this in the draft thread but I don’t see how you move him when it’s no lock that Gary re-signs next off-season. Because of his defensive versatility, I’d rather pay OG than GTJ if I had to choose - so why move OG?

I’m not buying this rumor in particular, but I do think the off-season may be more interesting than I previously thought.
