SHOCKING Details REVEALED About O.G. Anunoby Trade…
Some shocking details have been revealed about the Toronto Raptors trading OG and anobi to the New York Knicks because this trade happened Against All Odds I mean the Knicks are suing the Raptors right now the owner of the New York Knicks has a vendetta against messiou Jerry making any deals with the Toronto
Raptors and it seems like OG an anobi maybe one form or another forced his way to the New York Knicks so lots of crazy stuff we’re going to break down in this video but before we do folks I mean Toronto Raptors fans have been falling for moves for the last little while
We’ve been teased we’ve been baited over the past year and a half but feel How Sweet It Is to have a move actually go down a trade and if you feel like you need to move in your life then frankly it’s time to move and rentals.ca has you covered rentals.ca is

Definitely check out rentals.ca their uh link is down in the description below as well as the Ping comment because you know if you want to move in your life that the Raptor just cooked up check out rentals.ca but this move with the New York Knicks definitely wouldn’t be as
Smooth as a move with rentals.ca because as I said in the intro the Knicks seem like a very unlikely trade partner to actually deal with given the fact that everything I mentioned in the intro I mean the ongoing lawsuit the counter suits the back and forths not just with
Ownership you know Ted Rogers and James Dolan but you know mess you Jerry’s out here roasting the Knicks and press conf conferences Darko rakovich is calling them out so it felt like that was an unlikely trade partner especially after Messi Jeri finessed the Knicks not only
Once but twice and then kind of finessed them in a different way because we offered them up Kyle Larry and then we didn’t end up going through with that deal so in three instances three negotiations in the past where the Knicks dealt with Messi you Jerry once
With the nuggets and twice with the Toronto Raptors they came out on the short end of that stick you know the Melo trade the barani trade and then obviously the the deal where they didn’t accept us offering Kyle Lowry for like Iman Shumpert and Tim Hardaway Jr so you
Know negotiations have kind of been stole James dlan vetoed anything with messiou Jerry but details have kind of come out that really paint a weird light in terms of what went on with this trade because ogn and Obi obviously a fan favorite particularly with his defense with his sort of softspoken manner you
Know just a nice kind of guy to follow over the course of his career homegrown talent that is really blossomed into a star role play player in the NBA fans love OG and anobi but we’ve heard for two years about him wanting a bigger role and sort of changes happening I’ve
Been bringing it up on the pods but people have said oh that’s not really anything and I brought it up in a full video specifically with the Knicks you know this summer five months ago about how Nicks fans are tripping and then basically you can see in that thumbnail
You can go back and watch that vid I debate one of our Nick digest creators our old Nicks digest creators but basically OG and anobi this summer signed with CAA he switched from clutch Sports which is the sort of Lakers faction You Know Rich Paul and those
Guys you know run clutch sports agency and they’re all tied to LeBron all these types of things and they have a rival agency which is called CAA which is very involved with the New York Knicks you’ll see a lot of CA players go play for New
York and then you’ll see a lot of uh Rich Paul clients go play for LeBron and the Lakers so there’s a few factions in terms of agencies and stuff and OG anobi jump ship he switched sides on it and now this is something Nick’s fans have
Been reading into a lot over the last little while and I’ve covered it on the podcast over the past few months not super extensively CU frankly I didn’t think it meant too too much in potential trade negotiations however the wild details in terms of how big of a role
This played in terms of getting this deal done is actually pretty crazy so basically CA came out and posted a little post here today CA Sports uh head Mike LaVine one of the heads of their agency came out and posted this New York New York a wonderful town so excited for
2024 with OG and anobi in the orange and blue Allstar Edition on and off the court so CA family go New York go New York go so you can see their agent is pretty pumped about OG an anobi going to New York lots of NY stuff you know not
Just uh you know look at the look at the number of hashtags that’s very uh kind of Boomer New York hashtag stuff going on along those lines you know the spaces and stuff but their agency is pretty pumped about him him going to New York and it gets kind of even more
Interesting when we dig a little bit deeper because basically you know reports come this coming from Rob Perez saying that we’ve evolved past tracking private planes during free agency it’s now discovering which family members of Team Executives of which agencies are reping each player so basically you know
This summer we had Mark Barton bartelstein with Josh bartelstein so you know priority Suns Mark involved with the Phoenix Suns organization obviously uh agencies related to Bradley Beal’s agent and then Sam Rose who is OG an an noi’s agent So currently Sam Rose is representing OG an anobi in terms of his
Agency and stuff along those lines and then his dad Leon Rose who again tight relationship clearly there is the general manager the decision maker over at the New York Knicks so interesting stuff going on behind the scenes there so obviously this is all sort of spective and you get it all
Agencies might be hyped a family relationship and stuff we know Nick’s players are targeting them but what’s really going on behind the scenes well we had some details end up actually getting revealed in terms of what’s going on and this is probably the craziest thing I’ve seen regarding this
Situation because what’s next for New York the Knicks didn’t land anobi without an understanding of his own Financial considerations and nnobi had held meetings with several agencies this past off seon when he decided to leave clutch Sports telling potential representation he was interested in a larger offensive role which we’ve talked
To to death on this podcast because frankly you know the Pistons really worried me as a team that could fleece OG and Obi away even the the Sixers and stuff but that’s something that we knew but the the telling potential representation he wanted an offensive role bigger and then you know a salary
Figure in the ballpark of 40 million which is also something that we kind of knew a 40 million per year annual average salary following this free agency so I’ve been of The Stance especially you know saying I’m cool with OG and an Obi leaving if his we were going to have to
Pay him $40 plus million doll per year to keep him that’s sort of been my sense OG great defender but is dealt with injuries is a 15p point per game score I don’t know if he’s going to be able to evolve into that sort of kawhai Leonard
Leap that we were hoping for at some point but that those are details we already kind of knew however o OG and anobi did leave potential agents the impression that he’d be willing to accept a smaller figure in terms of dollar amount if he ended up getting
Traded to New York and it’s relevant to the Indiana product ultimately signed with CA which has deep connections with New York Knicks leadership obviously as deep as you can get the dudes OG’s new agent is the GM son so that’s pretty crazy and that last part is the most interesting sort of
Part of this OG and anobi is willing to take less money to go to a New York Knicks team which I find extremely weird I find really sort of kind of head turning because a team like this Sixers I feel it be a better fit for OG they’re
Better they’re better Squad they have an MVP they have Nick nurse who’s a coach that OG has had a good relationship with and they seem to have more of an opportunity for OG to have the ball in his hands and sort of develop as an offensive player at least the same
Amount because Julius Randle as well as uh Jaylen Brunson have that sort of same usage rate to Joelle as well as Tyrese Maxi and then it’s likely Donovan Mitchell’s also going to be coming to New York so I mean maybe there’s something I don’t want to say under the
Table deals but some guarantees that are going on with OG and anobi agency saying okay you can have exactly what you want if you come to New York because we are going to deliver it and even if it’s a little bit less money even if it’s this
There’s other stuff going on I’m not saying like illegal stuff but in terms of role in terms of this that and whatever those are interesting things to work with so that surprised me that was pretty shocking to me in regards to OG being willing to take less money and
Basically signals in my head that ogn and Obi was forcing a trade to to the New York Knicks especially where this happened early especially with all the rumors and all the stuff that went on behind the scenes with this agency and stuff along those lines and the
Potential for better fits for OG an anobi just on the surface you know out there in the open market it felt like OG an anobi was forcing his way to the Knicks and frankly this this gives me uh a lot more respect even though I thought this was a fleece for the Toronto
Raptors in the first place this gives me even more respect for Messi Jerry in these trade negotiations for how he’s handled everything because if OG an anobi had that preferred destination forced his way to New York and he was still able to get Emanuel quickley as
Well as an RJ Barrett and a really valuable draft selection you know in that Detroit Piston second round pick as good of a second round pick as you could have gotten that’s ridiculous that Messi Jerry was able to pull this off against a team or negotiating with a team that
Is currently suing you the owner hates you and then all these the reputation Messiah already has that we’ve known has plagued him against other teams as well all I have to say is Bravo to Messiah ueri all the best to ogn anobi even though I do feel like it’s weird that he
Force his way had all this sort of scheming going on to get his way to the New York Knicks but you know it is what it is the Raptors ended up coming out really well in the end of this trade package so I’m really excited to see what happens with the Toronto Raptors

Just make sure you bookmark this video and And don't delete it. So I can come back and laugh.
One comment I have and I see this a lot, is how much of these trade negotiations is Masai and how much is Bobby Webster? Now I know fans love to give Masai the credit when things go right and also clown him when things go wrong. But I just want to clear up this narrative that Masai handles all of those transactions
Stop jerking off to Masai. It s a solid deal for both teams. RJ because of his 25mio per year deal is probably a negative asset at this moment.
Raptors got a very talented guard and a project that fit their timeline, plus a good 2nd rnd pick in a weak draft year.
Knicks finally got the fitting player that they really need to take the next step with another move at some point, plus a pf/c they also needed to stay in the playoff race. The Knicks still have all their 1st rnd picks and all the flexibility intact.
NOBODY GOT FLEECED and every player involved ended up in a good situation. It s called business. Stop the childish propaganda nonsense for clicks, please
i think og just didn’t want to be in toronto, so he made unreasonable demands, he wanted a bigger market and to be noticed more
As a team it will work out best for the Knicks..3 isolation players and no defense wasn't working..They got arguably the best defender in the NBA and sent out one of the isolationists while opening up $11 million in extra cap space this year for more moves..THAT'S A PERFECT FIT..Everybody in NY liked RJ but the damn kid is frustrating..Ridiculously inconsistent and you have the same issue with Quigley next year as they have with OG..They know how much he wants already and its more than you wanna pay for a guy coming off there bench..
In New York, OG is going to be the 3rd option ,m just like he was in Toronto. His agent suckered OG to help his father
None of this helps if Darko is still the coach .
The ad transition
Just to be petty the raptors should accuse the Knicks of tampering lol
This explains why the Raptors got the better deal. The knicks have players essentially making deals. The Raps have an executive executing deals. We seen players making deals in the NBA many times. It doesn't always workout. But good luck to OG. New York is a great city.
NO ONE Wants To Play In PHILLY! 😂😂😂
Don’t cry bro , I’m holding in the tears as well
Quit crying y’all are Canadians.. Bow down 🇺🇸
No concerns with OG being traded. His defence was not consistent and he did not appear much in the way of emotion that pulled the team together. Don't get me started on his ball handling skills that were sub-par NBA standards and turnover prone. His anticipated asking price was way over the top. Seeing Flynn and Achuiwa leave as well were long over due. Both should not even be in the NBA. Euroleague or far east are their limits. Now, I have been a Siakim supporter for quite some time but Shroeder's latest comment appears to expose a locker room upheaval regarding personal stats coming first. We saw that game after game with chuck'em up Fred and now Siakim may be the player he is referring to. If Siakim is padding his sats then let him go.
Bell and Rogers sue each other on the daily Ben, and they own the team together homie
Looking forward to Shroeder going back to the bench. He is a hot head and it will probably cause a riff with the team.
Tampering! sue the knicks! lol
NYC gave the gift to Toronto of 60 million dollars back court that plays 0 defense lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Raptors should figure out how to trade Schroeder back to the Lakers… with Gary Trent & Quickely they are set… get one of their young guys & Christian Wood or something like that
Last year raps couldve gotten quickley rj and 3 firsts
This year no firsts and RJ is NOT whatvypu all think
Btw IQ wants 100m+
OG wanted to be in NY.. it's been known for a few yrs
It’s not that weird OG can probably get better exposure and better endorsements in NY
Man want to work at a different place….don’t we all feel that way sometimes?
Now trade siakam for a decent big and a 1st round pick. Have Poeltl come of the bench. Make Scottie the no. 1 guy and go from there. I hope this is Masai's plan
Knicks fan here, sorry to break it RJ is a bust, this is his ceiling. Quickly much more interesting, losing him broke my heart. Now with RJ, he's probably the worst contract in the NBA, wayyyy overpaid and only in year 1 of said contract. Quickly, you guys will need 25mil a year to keep him. Rumors OG could settle for between 30-35 mil a year with NY. No fleecing here, good for both teams, and will watch Quickly's and OGs development, shout out from NY.
Raps have developed an entire generation of "Bet on Yourself" dudes who are still riding the success of the chip season. None of them have really become the players we hoped they would nor have they brought any kind of tangible success to this organization since 18/19. The young core of Fred, Pascal, OG and Norm failed miserably and hopefully we can ship out the last remnants soon ie Pascal and Gary. It's time to completely move on from this generation and on to a hopefully better and brighter future.
As a sixers fan im happy and not happy we didnt get OG because he would have fit perfectly with us but idk if hes worth 40mil
Ya got played!!!
Can’t trade pascal in the same division as us, we did it to og so if pascal gets traded he going west
O.G WANTED OUT OF TORONTO BC THE COACH IS STRAIGHT TRASH DON'T BLAME HIM DONT KNOW WHY RAPTORS G.M WOULDNT JUST MADE ONE OF THE LAST YEAR ASSIST COACH THE NEW HEAD COACH
Remember OG's first few seasons, he would just randomly fall down quite often. What was with that?
I don’t blame og, it’s embarrassing to be a raptor rn, it’s better to move on then to be losing your value playing with this organization.
I am liking the trade. OG is already 26 years old and is entering his prime age. His games have not really improved much except his three's. If he aimed at a near max contract, it is better to trade him NOW then at the end of the season. This is the right move by Masai to trade for RJ and Quickley. RJ is not only under multi-year contract, but also a hometown man. I am excited to see RJ on the court. RJ is more skilled to score in variety of ways than OG can.
i think the sam/leon rose connection is closer than Beal. Leon Rose was pretty high up at CAA before taking the front office role at NYK. As for OG leaving Klutch, Omar Wilkes left Klutch before end of season and he only "joined" Klutch when Wilkes went there. With Wilkes gone, he was unrepresented and also didn't have any reason to remain at Klutch.
Shoutout to you for getting sponsors! Love to see it
