Amid 76ers? Rumors, Fans Question OG Anunoby?s $182,000,000 NBA Future

The NBA is currently buzzing with trade rumors left and right, ahead of the trade deadline. And 26-year-old forward from the Raptors, OG Anunoby, has found himself at the center of attention. Anunoby has been with the Raptors for 7 seasons, ever since his draft in the 2017 NBA Draft.

However, fans are now left unsure of whether he will continue to maintain this streak with the Raptors, amidst rumors that the Sixers have set their eyes on the rising star. After James Harden made a dramatic exit, it is only fair for the Sixers to start scouting for potential trades, to fill up that space.

Anunoby could be a valuable input to the team

Daryl Morey, the Sixers’ President of basketball operations, hinted that they were looking for someone who could cover both ends of the court, especially going ahead into the playoffs. And according to Daryl, the perfect candidate for the Sixers was Anunoby.

For Anunoby, he will enter his 8th season in the NBA as a free agent. Moving forward, any team with cap space can offer him a four-year maximum worth of $182 million.

Is OG Anunoby worth a $182M 4-yr max contract?

This begs the million-dollar question: is he good enough to be worth that much in a competitive market?

This is what a fan on Reddit had to say about the rumor: “If Maxey continues this path towards potential all star, OG as the third highest paid player makes sense. If he is bought in. OG as primary defender and Embiid protecting the rim would be great.”

Anunoby has not given any statement regarding the rumors and all fans can do for now is speculate.

Mixed signals from the fans

After Harden left, fans were also on edge regarding Joel Embiid‘s feelings about whether he should keep playing with the Sixers or move on and find better prospects. So the consensus was to bring in someone who would complement Joel and keep him on the team.

This Redditor is of the opinion that regardless of whether Embiid is happy or not, it’ll be worth it.
