Dan Tolzman scoffed at my question about Og Anunoby being upset in Toronto. That should tell you what you need to know about that report – 12:43 PM

More on this storyline

 

Jake Fischer: I’ve been hearing since March that OG Anunoby has been dissatisfied with his role in Toronto. And I mean, there’s a lot of guys dissatisfied with their roles in Toronto. -via Spotify / June 10, 2022

Jake Fischer: From everyone I’ve talked to from people within his representation to coaches who’ve worked with him in the past to general people in the league who would know… the one word that everyone consistently agrees on is that he wants more opportunity. And it doesn’t seem like a clear path to having that in Toronto. -via Spotify / June 10, 2022

Along those lines, don’t be surprised to see more smoke around a potential trade for OG Anunoby. The Raptors with a re-signed Masai Ujiri like their core, but ultimately upgrades will have to come with the inclusion of one of Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, or Anunoby, and Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes’ emergence opens the door for gauging Anunoby’s value on the market… -via Action Network / June 9, 2022
