OG Anunoby, the Toronto Raptors’ forward has made it to the trade headlines. The 26-year-old is expected to be traded by the Raptors and the Oklahoma City Thunder looks like his probable destination. The Thunders have got good players on their roster and are well-prepared for the 2023-24 season.
Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Josh Giddey, and Jalen Williams are doing wonders for the Thunders, and they will have Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace on their roster soon. They have a lot of draft picks. Probably the most any team has had in NBA history. Would they use those for signing OG Anunoby? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Toronto Raptors and the Oklahoma City Thunders involving OG Anunoby!
What would the Thunders offer for OG Anunoby?
The Raptors would get Luguentz Dort, Aleksej Pokusevski and their 2024 and 2025 first-round pick in exchange for OG Anunoby. They would be in two minds about the deal since they are getting young players, and last year mixing them with the oldies did not prove to be a recipe for their success.

Why would the Raptors like to trade off OG Anunoby?
The Raptors have very less draft capital, and this deal would give them enough assets to make moves in the market. The deal would help them build their roster but it would not instantly bring them success. It makes them stronger for the future. Trading Anunoby for a translucent future, the Raptors have a huge decision to make.

Why would the Thunders like to sign OG Anunoby?
The Thunders have enough offense on their roster, they have their defensive anchor too. The only thing which they would feel they need is a 3 and D wing. OG Anunoby fits effortlessly in that profile. They have got enough draft picks to give away, so the package would not be a concern for the Thunders.
The Raptors might be in two minds but if the Thunders go all out for Anunoby, they would land him in Oklahoma for sure. But do the Raptors really want to let him go? Or are the Thunders really that much desperate for him? We’ll keep you updated.
