Why the Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Meanwhile, Anunoby is just 25. Even if the Raptors want to retool, why would they move him?
Well, it’s been rumored that he wants out. If that’s the case, the Raptors may as well move him before the situation gets worse. At the same time, there could be reasons to move him anyway.
He may not be old at 25, but in NBA terms, he’s not exactly young either. If the Raptors are turning their attention to the future, they may be better off with whatever future-focused package they could receive for the two-way wing.
A package including Shaedon Sharpe would certainly be tempting. The rookie has flashed superstar potential in 2022-23. He’s one of the most athletic players in the NBA.

Moreover, Sharpe is Canadian – he’s less likely to leave the Raptors than other players might be. If the Raptors do land him, it’ll make for one exciting deadline move.
