OG Anunoby is not guaranteed to be heading back to the New York Knicks after being traded away by the Toronto Raptors earlier this year
It seemed like a foregone conclusion when the Toronto Raptors traded the 26-year-old earlier this year that Anunoby would re-sign with the Knicks once he entered unrestricted free agency this summer. A team would rarely give up so much in a trade without some sort of assurance that Anunoby would at least be open to re-signing and the fact that Anunoby's agent Sam Rose is the son of New York's president Leon Rose wasn't lost on anyone.
This had been Toronto's fear ealier this year and what led to the organization trading Anunoby in the first place. Due to restrictions in the collective bargaining agreement, Anunoby was prohibited from signing an extension worth more than $117 million over four years, a number he'll far exceed in free agency this summer.
It's unclear where Anunoby will end up if he doesn't re-sign with New York. The Philadelphia 76ers have the cap space and are reportedly interested in pursuing Anunoby this summer,Toronto could be among the teams with cap space this summer if the organization parts ways with Gary Trent Jr. and Bruce Brown.
