OG Anunoby of the Toronto Raptors is currently leading the league in steals (2.1 per game) and is averaging 16.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2 assists a game.
His field goal percentage has stepped up this season, as has his three-point percentage.
He has tweaked his game, made it better, and has become an important part of the team, even though they are still struggling mightily.
Therefore, you may assume that the Raptors wouldn’t be willing to deal Anunoby away, even for a good package from another team.
“The Knicks and Suns are among the interested suitors in Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby, sources say. New York has shown a willingness to offer multiple first-round picks for Anunoby, according to those sources.”

We will see how serious they are about keeping him in the months ahead because some very tantalizing offers might be coming their way.
Shams Charania is reporting that the New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns are interested in Anunoby.
Furthermore, Charania’s report states that the Knicks have shown a willingness to offer “multiple first-round picks.”
Anunoby has indeed become a crucial part of the Raptors but would they be able to pass up a few first-round picks for him?
The Knicks definitely have the option of sending powerful draft picks for Anunoby.
The Suns could pony up a few themselves, as they have control of eight first-round picks through 2030.
The interest in Anunoby is great news to the Raptors.
That is because the team is thinking about making big changes in the weeks and months ahead in order to turn their future around.
If they are hearing that teams are willing to give up first-rounders for Anunoby then they know they can demand a lot from any team that comes knocking.
Now we wait to see how serious these teams are – and how interested the Raptors become in making a deal.
