Knicks and Raptors Swap Players in Significant Trade

Immanuel Quickley Expected to Shine in Upgraded Role with Raptors, OG Anunoby Brings Defensive Prowess to Knicks

• New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors have agreed to a significant trade. The Knicks acquired OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn for Immanuel Quickley, R.J. Barrett and the Detroit Pistons 2024 second round pick.
• Immanuel Quickley, the 24-year-old point guard, is considered the highest-upside player in the deal. He is expected to thrive in an upgraded role with the Raptors, fitting perfectly next to Scottie Barnes.
• R.J. Barrett, despite being a high-volume starter, has not shown significant improvement since his time at Duke. His fit with the Raptors is uncertain due to the current roster composition.
• OG Anunoby, a player long pursued by NBA contenders, is now with the Knicks. His defensive prowess is expected to be a significant asset for the team.
• The trade is considered a win-win for both teams, providing the Knicks with a player they've long eyed, and giving the Raptors their guard of the future and a high-profile Canadian player.
