We felt that the Raptors were going to move and Masai Ujiri drewby separating from OG Anunoby !
The British-Nigerian winger (26 years old, 2m01) is heading to New York, accompanied by Precious Achiuwa And Malachi Flynn. In exchange, Toronto recovers RJ Barrettthe child of the country, as well as Immanuel Quickley and a second round of Draft.
The Knicks thus obtain a more reliable “3&D” behind the 3-point line than RJ Barrett, even if they also have to let go of Immanuel Quickley to get it. But the replacement leader had not been extended by the “Big Apple” club, which was clearly hesitant to make a long-term commitment with him.
OG Anunoby was in any case in the sights of the Knicks for many months, and the club therefore finally managed to get their hands on him, even if he can become a “free agent” next summer, if he makes a cross on his “player option” at $19.9 million for the 2024/25 season. Unless he continues straight away…
Extended last year for $120 million over four years by New York, RJ Barrett had already almost left New York in exchange for Donovan Mitchell, and he will in any case be able to play in Canada.
To see if this trade announces others on the Knicks side, while Evan Fournier is still waiting for his exit ticket…
