The Raptors and Knicks have made a major splash to end the calendar year.
On Dec. 30, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that the two teams are finalizing a deal that would send O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn to the Knicks while RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick are headed to the Raptors.
The trade ends nearly two years of trade speculation around Anunoby, who the Raptors selected with the 23rd overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. It's a fresh start for Flynn and something of a homecoming for Achiuwa, who moved to New York City with his family in eighth grade.
This also serves as a homecoming for Barrett, a native of Mississauga, Ontario who has represented Canada proudly since bursting on the scene as a prep superstar. Quickley, who is in his fourth NBA season, has been one of the league's best reserves this season, averaging 15.0 points off the pine.
Here is everything we know about the trade that sends Anunoby to New York.
