Utah Jazz Receive: F OG Anunoby, G Gary Trent Jr.

Toronto Raptors Receive: C Rudy Gobert

OG Anunoby trade rumors have become fashionable recently. Allegedly, he grew dissatisfied with his ball-handling reps following the emergence of Barnes last season.

Take those rumors, as you would any rumor, with a grain of salt. On the other hand, if there is truth in them, this deal could solve two problems at once for the Raptors.

Keeping a dissatisfied player is often a recipe for trouble. If Anunoby fits that description, this deal finds the Raptors shedding one while acquiring the best rim protector in the National Basketball Association.

A defense structured around Gobert, Siakam, and Barnes in the frontcourt ought to intrigue this Raptors front office. On the other hand, they may decline this deal.
