Toronto Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes poked fun at the rumors of OG Anunoby's frustrations with his role in the organization.
Toronto's vision for the future is already clear While rival executives reportedly believe Anunoby is discontent with his role in Toronto and could be moved this summer, the 24-year-old forward has not made his supposed displeasure with the organization known to the Raptors, per Fischer.

The Portland Trail Blazers will need to make some big moves to add talent around Damian Lillard this NBA offseason.
The Trail Blazers have a decently bright future even post-Lillard with Anfernee Simons and Nassir Little leading the charge. Otherwise, they risk him wasting another year of his closing window and possibly him demanding a trade in order to compete for a championship elsewhere. On the one hand, they have a bona fide top-75 player of all time in Damian Lillard on the roster.
These 3 Toronto Raptors trades involving OG Anunoby could help the Raptors become contenders by adding some impact players.
The Raptors could also try to pluck Anfernee Simons away from Portland in a sign-and-trade, but this move might be more realistic. Toronto has interviewed projected Top 10 picks Dyson Daniels and Bennedict Mathurin, which could give away some hints related to their draft strategy if they end up with the No. 7 overall pick. Fischer mentioned the Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz as a team that could look to engage with Toronto in Anunoby talks.
Recently reports appeared that the Raptors could trade OG Anunoby. Portland was mentioned as a potential destination for the 24-year-old small forward.
