Toronto Raptors Receive: G/F Danny Green, G/F Ziaire Williams, 2023 First-Round Pick (MEM), 2025 First-Round Pick (MEM), 2027 First-Round Pick (MEM)
Memphis Grizzlies Receive: F OG Anunoby
As for the Raptors, no one expected them to be able to contend this season. However, with a record of 23-29, they have been a disappointment to watch.
There are several reasons as to why this may be the case. In recent months, it has been suggested that the organization is becoming increasingly frustrated with their head coach, Nick Nurse.
In some cases, it seems as if his hardline approach to dealing with players can alienate them as a result. I think that’s fair to say.
Nurse, on the other hand, led this team to a championship in the NBA in 2018-19. Surely, he is not solely responsible for the team’s failures in 2022-23 if they fail to reach the playoffs.

Could trading Anunoby be an appropriate way for them to correct their course if they choose to do so?
