Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
There is a possibility that an NBA team can have too many playmakers, whether you like it or not. As the saying goes, there is only one ball.
There are times when there isn’t room for a player to make a play in the rotation of a team. This has been the case with Anunoby. The rumor mill is getting louder and louder regarding his desire to find a larger role on offense.
In the event that those rumors are true, the Raptors should trade him as soon as possible. Then again, even if they aren’t, they should still investigate the possibility of doing so – at a fair price, of course.
There is no doubt that this is the right price. As a result of this trade, the Raptors are receiving three first-round picks. That is a significant amount of draft capital.

At the same time, Williams may end up becoming the type of two-way wing that many teams will feature in the future. He is also long removed from ever facing a situation where he will be receiving a comparable contract as to what Anunoby will be getting in a few years.
Does it make sense for the Grizzlies to part with him?
