Raptors trade tiers: Which players can be moved at the deadline?
By Mike Luciano
Tier 2: Available only for the right price
- SG Gary Trent Jr
- SF OG Anunoby
- PF Thad Young
- PF Juancho Hernagomez
Trent seems the most tradeable due to his contract situation, but this offense is incapable of operating at an NBA level without his tremendous 3-point shooting. He’s made himself more valuable to Toronto than ever before during a very productive 2022-23 season.
Anunoby likely isn’t going to move, given his defensive wizardry. However, some recent buzz from Zach Lowe suggests that teams around the league would pay an eye-watering sum to acquire him. Anunoby should only get traded if the Raptors get a Godfather offer that only a fool would turn down.
The Toronto Raptors likely won’t move OG Anunoby.
Young’s role remains inconsistent, as he will go from playing 30 minutes one night to not playing at all the next. Considering that he was traded for a first-round pick just a season ago, it’s not unreasonable to assume that some team might be interested in acquiring him for a similar price.
Hernangomez looked like a diamond in the rough after he managed to wiggle his way into the starting lineup. Still, his inability to shoot well consistently has made it hard for him to maintain that role. Hernangomez might be included in a larger deal as a throw-in piece.
