The New York Knicks have made a significant trade, acquiring forward OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors.

In exchange, the Knicks are sending RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a 2024 second-round pick to the Raptors.

The Knicks have been pursuing Anunoby for a while and hope to re-sign him as a free agent in the summer.

Knicks Believe in Anunoby's Fit

The Knicks have a strong belief that Anunoby will fit well with their current lineup, which includes Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle.

They see his complete offensive game and ability to defend multiple positions as major assets for the team.

Knicks president Leon Rose expressed excitement about adding Anunoby to the roster.

Raptors Acquire Barrett, Quickley, and Draft Pick

In return for Anunoby, the Raptors are receiving RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a 2024 second-round pick from the Knicks.

Barrett, a Canadian native and the third overall pick in the 2019 draft, brings scoring and rebounding to the Raptors.

Quickley, a talented playmaker, is expected to provide a spark on both ends of the court for Toronto.
