OG Anunoby Eligible For Four-Year, $116M Extension With Raptors

Jul 27, 2023 2:38 PM

With the NBA's new rules regarding extensions as part of its collective bargaining agreement, OG Anunoby is eligible to sign an extension worth up to $116 million over four seasons.

This represents an increase of $16 million from the previous rules.

It remains to be seen whether Anunoby will elect to sign that extension with the Toronto Raptors, or wait to become a free agent where he will be able to sign for an extra year and more money annually. Jerami Grant signed a five-year, $160 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers and a contract of that amount is realistically considered Anunoby's floor.

Anuonby signed a four-year, $72 million extension in 2020.

Pelicans, Raptors Weren't Willing To Trade Zion, Siakam Or Anunoby For No. 3 On Draft Day

Jul 12, 2023 11:32 AM

When the Portland Trail Blazers evaluated trade options with the No. 3 overall pick, Zach Lowe reports that no "sensible deal" ever presented itself.

The New Orleans Pelicans and Toronto Raptors weren't ready on draft day to pivot away from Zion Williamson, Pascal Siakam, or OG Anunoby, sources tell Lowe.

The Los Angeles Clippers push back on the idea they genuinely explored Paul George's trade value, but trading away the pick that became Scoot Henderson for a 33-year-old with injury issues would be problematic for the Blazers.

The Brooklyn Nets never showed interest in trading Mikal Bridges for No. 3.

Pacers Emerge As Serious Contender To Acquire Pascal Siakam From Raptors

Jul 10, 2023 3:42 PM

The Indiana Pacers have emerged as a legitimate trade partner with the Toronto Raptors for Pascal Siakam, sources tell Marc Stein of Substack.

Siakam is entering the final season of his contract and reports of his potential availability have increased. 

The Atlanta Hawks have also logged interest in Siakam, while other teams could also emerge.

Siakam has signaled a preference to remain with the Raptors, but the departure of Fred VanVleet is believed to have led the team to prefer giving more runway to Scottie Barnes and OG Anunoby. 

"The Raptors are indeed far more prepared to surrender Siakam than initially realized," writes Stein.

Teams Monitoring Potential Of Raptors Considering Pascal Siakam Trade

Jul 5, 2023 2:16 PM

Pascal Siakam could be put on the trade market by the Toronto Raptors between now and the start of the regular season, reports Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca.

The Atlanta Hawks and several other teams checked in with the Raptors on the availability of Siakam after Fred VanVleet signed with the Houston Rockets.

The direction of the Raptors is one of the biggest unknowns across the league as they appear poised for a reset around Scottie Barnes, but have been reluctant to do so.

“They’re not the easiest team to deal with, I’ll just say that,” said one league insider.

Siakam turned down a three-year max extension at the beginning of the 22-23 season in hopes of qualifying for a supermax extension worth 35 percent of the cap. Siakam fell 15 voting point shy of an All-NBA team.

Siakam could sign a four-year, $183 million extension this offseason.
