It is very unlikely that this trade goes through from either perspective, but Anunoby is certainly a player that would be of huge benefit to the Milwaukee Bucks.

There have been rumors of the Raptors looking to trade Anunoby, so it is a possibility he is moved this season. If they do look to move him, it feels as though they will look for a better deal both in the player and draft pick department. The offers they are likely to receive from other teams would be better than what the Bucks can offer.

For the Bucks, he would be an ideal player to add but to give up two rotational players along with multiple picks and swaps is a lot for a player that may not stay after one year out of personal choice or financially doesn’t work for the Bucks. Milwaukee should keep an eye on Anunoby, but it does feel like the Bucks will have to give up a lot to get him, or the Raptors just accept a team with better assets to move.

Anunoby would be a perfect addition to the Bucks, but this trade setup may not be one that works for the Raptors. It will be interesting to see what plans both sides have for the off-season, but it feels like the Bucks are content with their roster.
