Some Raptors insights from Michael Scotto's article (Hoops Hype)


"The Knicks also remain interested in trading for Raptors forward OG Anunoby, league sources told HoopsHype. Last season, Knicks forward RJ Barrett came up in those brief trade inquiries, but nothing substantive materialized. That’s likely to remain the case again unless New York blows Toronto away with sufficient first-round draft pick compensation and maybe another young asset." - Michael Scotto (Knicks really want OG)

"With rival teams expressing trade interest in Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby, the consensus among the vast majority of NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype was that Siakam would be the one more likely of the two players to be traded." - Michael Scotto (As expected, Raptors may be looking to shop Siakam over OG)

"NBA executives exploring the trade market for wings believe Toronto will do whatever it takes to keep Anunoby in free agency this summer after he formally declines his $19.93 million player option." - Michael Scotto (Raptors will pay a lot to keep OG it seems)

"High-ranking executives from the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks most notably chatted extensively with Raptors executives at the G League Showcase. Both the Pacers and Hawks have been two of the most consistent teams expressing interest in trading with the Raptors for over a year." - Michael Scotto (Indiana and Atlanta seem to be heavily interested and will most likely be trade partners for the Toronto Raptors this upcoming deadline)

"From Indiana’s perspective, it’s worth noting that Jarace Walker played well at the G League Showcase with 31 points on Dec. 19 and could be a potential trade candidate to monitor. Walker, the No. 8 pick in the draft, has played sparingly in his rookie season and could move the needle for a potential trade for either Siakam or Anunoby with Atlanta wanting to keep rising young forward Jalen Johnson as part of the team’s core, ideally." - Michael Scotto (Indiana is looking to use Walker as a potential trade piece for Pascal and OG, not really that interested in walker since he isn't a need for the Raptors tbh)

"If Siakam is moved, the Raptors would retool around Scottie Barnes and Anunoby, while trying to acquire young player(s) with upside and draft pick compensation in the process of moving Siakam." - Michael Scotto (It really seems like the Raptors have no intention of trading OG)
