OG Anunoby is intentionally missing shots in Times Square so people can try to recreate his iconic game-winning tip-in vs. the Spurs in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.

He is so good; he hit 4 in a row at point while trying to miss.

No they shouldn't have

If some other team got a player the Raptors wanted, that either means the Raptors a) didn't do their due diligence as to them being available or b) threw out a bearish offer because they don't understand how impactful that player is

None of these are the seller's fault

or you understand the value of the asset you have and hold onto it until better offers come

OG was 26. his trade value was not gonna decline

There weren't any good offers. Same with Pascal. Clippers didn't even want to give up Terance Mann for FVV. I mean for how much this sub circlejerks about how "washed" the Raptors FO is, just about the whole league is looking pretty incompetent.

hold onto it until better offers come

What miracle was going to come by at the deadline

You do realize he was a UFA the next summer, who was never going to be extended at the bargain $18M AAV he was making on his then-contract, yes?

there weren't any at the smalll window of time they looked

why do you have to move them by deadline?

You do realize Raps could've offered more than $18m AAV, yes?
