Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Even if Anunoby is a playmaking wing, the Raptors may not need him.
This team already rosters Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam. That’s ample playmaking at the wings. Anunoby may be the odd man out.
Of course, that’s not the main reason for moving him. There’s no functional reason these players can’t co-exist if Anunoby is content in his current role.
The Raptors would move him because they’re 18-23.

It may be time for this team to start preparing for the future. If they agree, landing three first-round picks for Anunoby is a good way to do it.
Nobody’s going to offer them much more than that.
