Raptors new coaching staff is all about player development. VanVleet opted out and will likely sign elsewhere. Many teams could use a player like OG. Raptors have explored trades to move up into the top three. Siakam to Blazers makes sense. Direction seems pretty clear.

Raptors are in the mix for Lillard, but it seems like they’re unwilling to trade Barnes. So it would have to be a package centered around Anunoby. The thing I don’t understand is if you’re trying to win now & compete for a championship it makes more sense to keep OG.
