The Toronto Raptors trading o and anobi to the New York Knicks caught a lot of people by surprise the team that’s currently suing the Raptors with an owner who despises Raptors president Messiah jury for fleecing him multiple times a man who actively hates mlsc president Larry tabom so much that he

Resigned from the NBA board over allegations that the NBA commissioner Adam Silver had conspired to protect him the 10 million do lawsuit which was seen as an ultimate middle finger to Toronto dragging the Raptor’s organization into a heap of controversy and negative press over allegations that the Raptors stole

Proprietary knowledge when hiring an assistant coach when Messiah jury and head coach Darko rakovich addressed the lawsuit their frustration on this matter was palpable and their anger could be felt sething through the scenes so how is it the two teams that hate each other so much managed to broker this deal or

Even come to the table and why is it that the Raptors gave OG to a division rival when most teams even those that like each other to try to avoid sending players to the same conference just look at the Spurs they’ve sent kawh Leonard Deonte Murray Derek white yaka purle and

Demar d r rozan out the door but they sent them all East well duh because OG’s agent is Leon Rose’s son Case Closed OG will take less to be in New York he loves New York he’s happy to be there blah blah blah but if you’re actually paying attention that doesn’t make a

Hell of a lot of sense does it especially from a basketball perspective first a quick from our sponsor the Penance Film Festival is happening February 22nd to 25th it is a celebration of international films it is a brilliant film festival in its seventh season prior to the covid pandemic it

Was the fastest growing film festival in the world what is my affiliation with Penance what are they paying me to say this well I am Penance I’m the festival director and founder of penance it is my baby and if you love great films if you

Already on sale let’s get to this OG is very close to Raptor Superstar Scotty Barnes the two have been described almost as best friends on the team trading a player like OG when he’s very much in his prime even for a hall that includes Emanuel quickly and the

Contract of RJ barar feels like a very out of character move unless the Raptors knew he was a flight risk and the Knicks felt that they had assurances they could resign him but what if they can guess what agents can be fired easily and if getting more touches and a bigger role

On offense was OG’s Big Goal this off season then the Nick pale in comparison to the opportunity he could have had in Indiana next to Tyrese Alberton a city where he is very familiar and where he went to college or even in Toronto if the Raptors traded SE yakum to clear the

Way the only reason NYC makes sense is if you really buy his loyalty to CIA in the next roster build and his love for New York and I don’t 14.1% usage so far as a Nick is his lowest since his rookie season and playing heavy minutes in tibs

Lineups is a Surefire recipe for the of injured OG anobi to run his body into the ground with little to show for it in terms of an offensive role so with reports that the Knick’s plan on trading for a big star a pair with him and Brunson it’s a great indicator that he

Is never going to become a 20 point per game scorer in New York so let’s calculate this out British born Nigerian OG anobi who most assumed was the nearest and dearest player to Raptor president Messi jer’s heart other than Scotty Barnes what if the plan is

Actually to bring him back and no not like KY lari on a one-day contract before he retires but much sooner than that the Raptors traded for yaka purle for a mess of picks and expirements you remember the anxiety this offseason that he can go back to the Spurs next to

Victor wenyama and how embarrassing that would be for the Raptors guess what OG can do the same thing the Raptors aren’t a major free agent destination for most players but they have a boatload of expiring contracts and if they trade Pascal seak for expiring contracts and young assets to

Restock the coffers not to mention future pics as they’re widely rumored to be willing to do they will be one of the few teams this offseason that can make a very competitive offer to ogan anobi he already knows the city and the organization or months in New York is

Going to do wonders for his brand anyway and the ultimate heel turn in New York from New York savior to New York backstabber would make him the story of the summer messii hates James Dolan just enough to make this real so does Larry tanom and allegedly so does darkov

Rakovich so while I’m not saying this is likely it is certainly possible OG left on great terms the Raptors adore him and going into this season there was merely two gripes that he had his role and money with IQ and Scotty the building blocks for futuring Toronto both extremely unself selfish the Raptors

Will not only be able to offer him the money he wants but the role he wants as well they’ll also be willing to bring him back to a coach he’s come to trust and one who has poured hundreds of hours this season into making him a healthier

And better player if OG comes back the trade which is already looking like a steal for the Raptors would enter Evil Genius territory and I think I speak for a lot of raptor fans when I say we’ll be watching make sure to hit like And subscribe if you haven’t already really

Appreciate it let me know in the comments below what you would think of this outcome and make sure to check us out after every single Raptor game we are the most watched over the last month we are the most watched Raptors postgame show and I’d love to see thousands of

The Toronto Raptors trading OG Anunoby to the New York Knicks caught a LOT of people by surprise. The team that’s currently suing the Raptors, with an owner who despises Raptors president Masai Ujiri for fleecing him multiple times.

A man who actively hates MLSE president Larry Tanenbaum so much that he resigned from the NBA Board over allegations that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver had conspired to protect him?

The 10 million dollar lawsuit was seen as an ultimate middle finger to the Raptors, dragging the Raptors organization into a heap of controversy and negative press over allegations that the Raptors STOLE proprietary knowledge.

When Masai Ujiri and head coach Darko Rajakovic addressed the lawsuit, their frustration and anger at the situation was palpable. So how is it that two teams that hate each other SO MUCH managed to broker this deal, or even come to the table?

And why is it that the Raptors gave OG to a division rival when most teams, even those that like each other, try to avoid sending players to the same conference? Just look at the Spurs. They’ve sent Kawhi Leonard.. Dejounte Murray, Derrick White, Jakob Poeltl AND Demar Derozan… but they sent them all East.

Well, duh. Because OG’s agent is Leon Rose’s son. Case closed. OG will take less to be in NYC. He loves New York. He’s happy to be there. Bla bla bla.

But if you actually pay attention, this doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense from the basketball perspective. OG is very tight with Raptors superstar Scottie Barnes. The two have been described as the best friends on the team. Trading a player like OG when he’s very much in his prime, even for a haul like Immanuel Quickley and the contract of RJ Barrett feels like an out-of-character move unless the Raptors knew he was a flight risk, and the Knicks felt they have assurances they can re-sign him.

But what if they can’t? Agents can be fired. Easily. And if getting more touches and a bigger role on offense was OG’s big goal, then the Knicks pale in comparison to the opportunity he could have had in Indiana next to Tyrese Haliburton or even in Toronto if the Raptors traded Siakam to clear the way. The only reason NYC makes sense is if you REALLY buy his loyalty to CAA and the Knicks roster build. And I don’t.

14.1% USAGE so far as a Knick is his LOWEST usage since his rookie season.. and playing heavy minutes in Thib’s lineups is a surefire recipe for the oft-injured OG to run his body into the ground.. with reports that the Knicks plan on trading for a big star to pair with him and Brunson, it’s also a great indicator that he will never become a 20ppg scorer in New York.

Okay, so.. British born Nigerian OG Anunoby, whom most assumed was the nearest and dearest player to Raptors president Masai Ujiri other than Scottie Barnes… what if the plan is actually to bring him back. And no, not as a 1 day contract to retire, but much sooner than that?

The Raptors traded for Jakob Poeltl for a mess of picks and expirings… Remember the anxiety this offseason that he could go right back to the Spurs and how embarrassing that would be for the Raptors? Guess what? OG can do the same thing. The Raptors aren’t a major free agent destination. But they have a boatload of expiring contracts. And if they trade Siakam for expirings and young assets to restock the coffers, not to mention future picks, as they’re widely rumored to be willing to do, they’ll be one of the few teams this offseason that can make a competitive offer to OG Anunoby.

He already knows the city and the organization. 4 months in NYC would do wonders for his brand anyway. And the ultimate heel turn from New York saviour to New York backstabber would make him the story of the summer.

Masai Ujiri hates James Dolan just enough to make this real. So does Larry Tanenbaum. So while I’m not saying this is likely, it is certainly possible. OG left on good terms. The Raptors adore him. And going into this season, there was merely one gripe he had and that was his role and money. With IQ and Scottie the building blocks for the future in Toronto, the Raptors will not only be able to offer him the money and role he wants, they’ll also be able to bring him back to a coach he’s come to trust, and one who has poured 100s of hours into making him a healthier and better player this season.

If OG comes back, the trade, which already looks like a steal for the Raptors, would enter the evil genius category. And I think I speak for a lot of Raptors fans when I say.. we’ll be watching.
