OG Anunoby of the Toronto Raptors is playing some of the best basketball of his career.
The small forward is averaging 17.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2 assists a game and is shooting 45.9% from the field.
He is also creating the best defense he ever has and is solidly in the running for Defensive Player of the Year.
Therefore, it’s no shock that other teams would be willing to trade a lot to get him.
A mystery team reportedly has offered THREE first-round picks for O.G. Anunoby, per @bruce_arthur.

However, Toronto Sun writer Bruce Arthur is claiming that one team is willing to spend a lot to land Anunoby.
He says that one anonymous team in the league has offered three first-round picks in exchange for the forward.
There is a lot to unpack here.
We don’t know which team is putting up such a haul for Anunoby and we don’t know how serious they are.
We also have no clue if the Raptors will entertain this – or any- offer for their player in the months ahead.
It’s clear that the Raptors are going to weigh their options in hopes of making the team better.
They are currently struggling and not close to the level they want to be at, even with powerful stars like Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Anunoby, Scottie Barnes, and others.
The chances of all these guys playing together next season are slim.
But will Anunoby be the one to depart or will a different player be the one packing his bags?
That isn’t clear but the fact that Anunoby might be generating huge trade interest means that his days in Toronto may be numbered.
If the Raptors are really offered something like the package mentioned above, they’d be silly to not consider it.
