Atlanta Hawks Receive: F OG Anunoby
Toronto Raptors Receive: C Onyeka Okongwu, G/F Justin Holiday, G/F Maurice Harkless, 2023 First-Round Pick, 2024 First-Round Pick (SAC — Lottery Protected)
The Toronto Raptors are where the Atlanta Hawks want to be. Toronto is a perennial playoff contender looking to make a splash to become a title contender in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta wants to cement itself as a playoff contender with the path to becoming title contenders.
This deal would certainly help the Hawks, as OG Anunoby has the potential to be a star. His career trajectory to this point is similar to that of Kawhi Leonard, who has an almost identical build as well.
Anunoby would be another upgrade defensively for Atlanta, which they could certainly use some more of. To get this deal done, they part ways with one of their best trade chips in center Onyeka Okongwu.
To match salary, the duo of Justin Holiday and Maurice Harkless are on the move again. They cannot be traded before August 30th, so this deal would have to wait a few weeks to get completed.
