3 wild OG Anunoby trades the Toronto Raptors need to consider

2. Denver sends a starter and a Sixth Man
The Nuggets are reportedly open for business, as they could be willing to part with some of their draft assets to build a winner around Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Pairing Anunoby with Michael Porter Jr. at the cost of most of their bench might be something that this front office considers.
Gordon could be the replacement in the starting lineup, as he could man the power forward spot while showing off his high-flying style. The actual prizes of this deal are two recent first-round picks, as they could give the Raptors one of the East’s best benches.
Will the Denver Nuggets take OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors?
The 6-9 Nnaji, picked just two spots after Achiuwa, had made nearly 44% of his 3-pointers this year. These numbers make him an ideal young stretch big man to develop. Even though he was competing with veterans, Hyland was able to average 10.1 points per game as a rookie.
In the slight chance that Anunoby is offloaded, the Raptors likely won’t pull the trigger unless they get a star of equal or greater value in return. One of the few exceptions could come in the form of this trade, as it would make the Raptors’ roster incredibly deep while getting a solid starter in exchange for Anunoby.
