16 Players that will likely change teams by the NBA trade deadline

14. OG Anunoby, Toronto Raptors

I previously included OG Anunoby on a list of wildcard trade candidates, but it seems increasingly likely that he’ll be dealt. After all, the Raptors have seemingly made it clear that they would want at least three first-round picks, and several teams have that to offer.

The Phoenix Suns, Oklahoma City Thunder, New Orleans Pelicans, New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, and Memphis Grizzlies are all flush with draft picks, and the Suns and Knicks have been directly linked to Toronto according to Shams Charania.

Raptors GM Masai Ujiri was recently seen meeting with Suns GM James Jones, but that could be for a separate deal involving the two teams.

Meanwhile, the Raptors have been aggressively pursuing a Spurs player, and the rebuilding Spurs could theoretically work Anunoby into a possible deal.

As of now, there doesn’t appear to be a frontrunner to land Anunoby, but if the Raptors are willing to provide teams with an asking price, that means that he is available. Additionally, several teams have compiled enough picks to make an all-in type of deal at the trade deadline, and Anunoby could be at the top of their list.
