The Raptors are all too familiar with this movie. Only Joel Emdiid and Jaden Springer are on guaranteed contracts next season, so the Sixers have the cap space to pay and land whoever they want to target. HoopsHype noted the Philadelphia 76ers as a potential team that could offer Anunoby a hefty payday this summer. As one of the best 3-and-D players in the NBA, the Raptors will have a ton of competition for the services of the 26-year-old in free agency.
League executives expect Anunoby to decline his $19.9 million player option for the 2024-25 season and become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. According to Hoops Hype, the Raptors are worried that teams could pry away Anunoby from Toronto with a shorter-term max deal because of the relatively weak free agency market in the summer of 2024. The Toronto Raptors reportedly have some real concerns regarding OG Anunoby's upcoming free agency situation this summer.
