Report: 'Interest Remains High' For Raptors' Pascal Siakam & O.G. Anunoby

Toronto Raptors forwards Pascal Siakam and O.G. Anunoby continue to draw significant interest in trade talks

Nothing much has changed when it comes to Pascal Siakam and O.G. Anunoby who continue to be among the most coveted players this summer.

League interest in the two Toronto Raptors forwards is said to be high, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick. The Raptors, however, “continues to rebuff” offers that come their way, Amick wrote.

Siakam has reportedly conveyed that he’d prefer to remain in Toronto, per Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes. The news came out just hours before last Thursday’s NBA Draft and seemed to be an attempt by those around Siakam to quell trade talks involving the 29-year-old forward.

The Atlanta Hawks have been mentioned as a team looking to acquire Siakam and are making multiple players available in trade talks, per Substack’s Marc Stein.

Anunoby, meanwhile, has been linked to trade rumors dating back to the trade deadline. The Sacramento Kings are said to be among the teams most interested in the 25-year-old, per ESPN Radio’s Damien Barling.

Both Siakam and Anunoby have one year remaining on their contracts and are eligible for contract extensions this summer. Anunoby’s contract extension, however, is capped at 140% of his current salary and is unlikely to be enough to ink him to a long-term deal.
