Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby could possibly net as many as three first-round draft picks in a trade, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski during Friday's edition of NBA Today (2:07 mark):

"OG Anunoby is a player around the league—there is great interest in him at really probably the most important position in the league at that wing forward," Wojnarowski said. "You know, 6'7" player, two-way player, I think there's a belief that Toronto could get as many as three first-round picks in a deal for Anunoby if they decided to move him.

"They've certainly talked with teams to see what the market is on him, and I think everybody virtually on that Raptors team."

The 25-year-old Anunoby is averaging 17.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and an NBA-high 2.1 steals per game. He's shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from three-point range.

The former Indiana star has played all six of his NBA seasons with the Raptors, who selected him with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2017 draft.

Anunoby is in the middle of a four-year, $72 million contract. He can become a free agent in 2024 if he declines his 2024-25 player option.

The Raptors, on paper, have a solid core featuring Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes and Anunoby, but the team simply hasn't clicked this year after making the playoffs in 2021-22.

Toronto is currently 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 22-27 record, one half-game behind the Washington Wizards for the final play-in tournament spot.

The question is whether the team can improve its standing before the Feb. 9 trade deadline. Wojnarowski said to watch out for how the team plays in the near future. Toronto just started a seven-game Western Conference road trip with a 113-95 win over the Sacramento Kings, and it will now play the Golden State Warriors on Friday.

Success on the trip could perhaps convince Toronto to keep its core at the deadline and shoot for the playoffs.

If the season goes south and Anunoby becomes a more viable trade candidate, the package of three first-round picks appears to be on the table.

Anunoby is a good two-way player capable of dropping 20-plus points and playing great defense every night, but three first-round picks appears to be a steep price for anyone the under All-Star level.

However, the reported asking prices for players this year appears to be high. For Detroit Pistons wing Bojan Bogdanovic, the "minimum starting point" is "an unprotected first-round pick," per James L. Edwards of The Athletic.

Per Kelly Iko of The Athletic, "a few teams have floated the possibility of offering a first-round pick" for the Houston Rockets' K.J. Martin, although he made clear that nothing was "concrete."

For now, Anunoby remains a member of the Raptors as they look to continue the good start to their road trip. Game time Friday against the Warriors will be 10 p.m. ET from San Francisco's Chase Center.
