The Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors were reportedly trying to get an OG Anunoby trade hammered out right before the NBA trade deadline, but talks eventually fell apart. Golden State may have been a bit hesitant about including Jonathan Kuminga in this deal.
While the Warriors appear poised to enter luxury tax hell relatively soon while looking for a replacement in the front office following the departure of Bob Myers, they will still try to win in 2023. Joe Lacob is an aggressive owner, so the Raptors shouldn’t abandon trade talks.
Anunoby has been one of the hottest names on the trade market in the last few months, as his combination of stellar two-way play and solid shooting has made him a player that can fit in with just about every scheme.
