Landing spots for biggest names at NBA trade deadline

OG Anunoby, Toronto Raptors

From a former Raptor to a current one, Anunoby is in a different position in his career than Ibaka. The 25-year-old small forward has started to come up in trade rumors though many are skeptical about whether the young player would be moved come the deadline.

Currently, Anunoby is a top 3-and-D player in the league, leading the NBA with 2.1 steals per game while averaging 17.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and two assists. He’s also shooting nearly 46% from the field and over 36% from the 3-point line so he’s definitely an efficient scorer. Given his young age, a team would need to give up a lot to land Anunoby, but a good defender and 3-point shooter is always helpful for a contending team and his youth could intrigue up-and-coming contenders like the Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans and New York Knicks.
