OG Anunoby

There were rumblings earlier this offseason that OG Anunoby was upset with his role on the Toronto Raptors and was looking for a change of scenery. While no deal materialized then, Toronto has been involved in numerous trade rumors this offseason.

They were one of the teams constantly mentioned as a suitor for Kevin Durant and early on were one of the teams linked to Donovan Mitchell as well. A trade could still be in the works and if Anunoby is still looking to be moved, the New York Knicks should throw their hat into the ring.

OG Anunoby is the exact type of player that Tom Thibodeau loves to have in his rotation. He has prototypical size on the wing as he is built similarly to Kawhi Leonard. Anunoby possesses that kind of upside and he has improved each season in the NBA.

The price to acquire Anunoby would also be significantly less than the other players on this list. He has yet to ascend to the All-Star level, and the injury concerns are legitimate as he has played in only 91 games the last two seasons.

If he can get his efficiency back up with his volume increasing, OG Anunoby will be a 20+ points per game starter with elite defense. Those kinds of players are very difficult to find but are the archetype of what franchises want to build rosters around.

Pairing him with RJ Barrett on the wing would give the Knicks two big-bodied, two-way players to lead the team on both ends of the court.
