ESPN reports that talks for Toronto’s OG Anunoby are going “late into the trade deadline,” as Western Conference teams ramp up after the Kevin Durant to Phoenix news. More to come later (or not?)
Toronto's talks on forward O.G. Anunoby are rolling into the final hours of the trade deadline. The landing of Kevin Durant with the Suns could escalate Anunoby's value among Western Conference teams pursuing an elite forward to defend Durant.

It’s being reported that the first round pick being sent to San Antonio for Jakob Poeltl is protected 1-6th through 2026.
In simple terms, if the Raptors get a first round pick that’s No. 1 through No.6 from 2024 until 2026, it will stay with Toronto. The first time they get a pick from No.7 onward, it will go to the Spurs.
