The Raptors made a notable trade, exchanging OG Anunoby for Immanuel Quickley, who is viewed as a starting-caliber guard. NBA insider Zach Lowe points out that Quickley was thought to be a pivotal part of that trade. Despite this perception, Quickley has struggled to make a significant impact on the Raptors due to health concerns. The team felt the need to secure Quickley with a substantial five-year contract, rather than risk losing Anunoby without compensation or face a costly extension.
"I remember people being like 'Well, he's the best player in the OG Anunoby trade.' Like real NBA media people were saying that, like he was the reason the Raptors made that trade."
"... And I remember saying on my podcast, like, apologies to Immanuel Quickley. I like him. He was in my most intriguing players column a couple years ago. OG Anunoby is the best player in the trade."
