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

[WuTang_CMB]

Grange asked about 7 lol

[Madhouse]

I just saw that. Thank god we have a competent FO that can properly value its assets.

Lock it up, thread over

He actually had a chance to have a bigger role in the playoffs when they team needed it and he didn't come through. He's clutch but a much higher usage isn't good for him.

He was actually pretty good in the playoffs but yes, he needs a complimentary role.

yup, he put up 58.4 TS% on 21.3 usage in the playoffs.

He was good to start but later in the series

There you have it...og isn't going anywhere

What did you guys expect Dan to say though? Even if OG was upset at all no one in the front office is going to outright say Yes he is upset or whatever in front of the Media which would lower his trade value....No team will come out and admit such a thing to the media...

Another thing Dan is not the one who would get the news if OG was unsatisfied it would be to Masai or Nick Nurse he would talk to not Dan....

But to say OG isn't going anywhere when anyone besides Barnes could be had for the right price if Masai thinks its a difference maker for the team going foreword he will pull the trigger....OG is great on this team and i would not want to see him gone but this Dan interview means absolutely nothing.....Raptors will trade him if the right package presents itself...

If there is ever a movie made about the Raptors, Thomas Middleditch has to play Dan.

Dan is the assistant GM. He absolutely knows what's going on. If both Dan and Scottie have confirmed that the rumours are made up, they're made up.

He’s not unhappy. I do believe he wants a bigger role. Nurse on record saying OG would always ask how he can do more / what does he need. I think every player does thats just how it is. Cronin likely made his calls to agents with his new title and he asked about OG to klutch and they said as such. Portland leaked this and thats how we got here today.


Raps arent trading OG unless its for a mega package.

[Leobargs]

Og for 7th and nurkic ( sign n trade)

Love OG. But keeping him also means we’d be just running it back with the same group, which honestly, isn’t enough. If we can get a Gobert or Jarrett Allen, I’d do it. Heck, even Ayton would be nice as well, as long we don’t give up too much, of course.

What a joke of an article. After gushing about what a great fit OG would be on the Sixers, he goes on to acknowledge the obvious:

The problem is the Sixers don't have the assets that would appeal to the Raptors if Toronto decides to consider dealing Anunoby. A package of defensive ace Matisse Thybulle and the No. 23 overall pick in the June 23 NBA Draft wouldn't nearly be enough. Philadelphia role players Georges Niang, Furkan Korkmaz and Shake Milton have minimal trade value. Young big man Paul Reed would fit well on the athletic Raptors, but he's still trying to develop his offensive skills and stay out of foul trouble at this level, in part because of his limited minutes.

Forward Tobias Harris' $37.6 million salary next year would be difficult for the Raptors to match, even if Toronto adds big man Khem Birch and others. Plus, the Raptors already have plenty of long, lean forwards. What they really need is a legitimate center and the Sixers aren't surrendering Embiid. Involving another team doesn't seem to make sense if the Sixers don't have quality players that would interest Toronto or the third club. Not surprisingly, they wouldn't want to include emerging 21-year-old guard Tyrese Maxey.

Obviously, the only possibility of a trade is if Maxey is coming back. But even then, I don't see how he fits with Fred and Gary. So ...

Run it back = internal development for Scottie, Precious, Trent (still just 23), Banton and Champagnie. I’m not sure Pascal or OG are satisfied and a healthy FVV who doesn’t have to run himself into the ground to keep the ship afloat (as Pascal worked his way back from surgery), plus #33, plus whoever they pick up with the MLE and that doesn’t include the likely returning Boucher and Thad ( likely not much growth but definitely stability). We’re not likely trading for an expensive “traditional” big since the spot is likely Precious’ to loose.

Does that mean the Raps “won’t” trade anyone….no, but beyond GTJ (with his weird contract) no one else is moving without a “Godfather” package coming back!

Point is even if it was true which im not saying it is or isnt....But if it was true why on earth would he come out and say "Yes the rumor is true" to the media? Understand what im saying? Why on earth would he put himself in that position to confirm the rumor as true to the media to cause a **** storm?....

And like i said even if OG isn't upset and is perfectly fine with his role on the team does that mean he won't be traded if a package Masai likes comes up? No it does not

Jarrett Allen would be the perfect deal for us.

Ayton I'm iffy about but would lean towards no given a much higher salary than OG.

Gobert is an easy no to me.

Lol you can tell these guys are really running out of things to talk about before the draft. The guy really wrote a whole article saying that the team should do something that he realizes isn't really possible or realistic.

Next up: an article saying that they should really target prime Michael Jordan, but then explaining in a few paragraphs that unfortunately de-aging technology doesn't really exist yet, nor do time machines, so getting prime Michael Jordan likely won't happen.
