Utah Jazz Receive: F OG Anunoby, G/F Gary Trent Jr.
Toronto Raptors Receive: C Rudy Gobert
This deal becomes especially palpable for the Toronto Raptors if the recent rumors about OG Anunoby are true.
Recently, it’s been speculated that he’s grown unhappy with his role north of the border. With Scottie Barnes emerging as a potential superstar, Anunoby’s ball-handling reps have dwindled.
If that’s truly a gripe for the young man, he’ll be happier in Utah. He’d have an opportunity to be this team’s second option behind Donovan Mitchell.
If Anunoby really has the abilities that rumors suggest he believes he does, he’ll get to showcase them in Salt Lake City. At the same time, rumors are rumors for a reason. Some are based on truth, and some are outright baseless.

It’s entirely possible that Anunoby remains happy in Toronto, and is somewhere sharing a meal with his teammates and laughing about the rumors.
Could the Raptors make this deal anyway?
