While everyone is watching the Toronto Raptors to see which way they go at the trade deadline, teams are already stepping up with offers for their key players. According to a report in the Toronto Star, they were offered a draft pick haul for OG Anonoby.

A mystery team reportedly has offered THREE first-round picks for O.G. Anunoby, per @bruce_arthur.

Raptors beat writer Bruce Arthur reports that one team has reached out to offer three first-round picks for OG, who is one of the top All-Defensive team candidates this season, and leads the league steals.  

But are team president Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster ready to blow it up and do a "near total re-set?" asks Arthur. He notes that Pascal Siakam, a solid candidate for his second consecutive All-NBA selection this season, would get an even bigger haul than Anunoby. 

Fred VanVleet is also on the table, and he was linked today with a Western Conference contender who has some interest. 

Anunoby this season is averaging a career-high 17.4 points (his average has increased in each of his six years in the league), along with an NBA-leading 2.1 steals per game. He's also shooting it at 36.4% from three-point range, a bit under his career 37% mark. One of the top 3-and-D wings in the game, he would be an immediate and significant boost to any contending team.
