Multiple teams offered *THREE* first-rounders for OG Anunoby

The Warriors were interested in OG Anunoby, yes, but other teams were ready to go all-in on Anunoby.

Toronto turned out to be buyers, not sellers, as they wanted to add a big piece (Jakob Poeltl) and keep the core together to make a solid run at the postseason. So many teams, along with their respected fanbases, were disappointed that they couldn’t get a deal done with the Raptors.

Bobby Marks said that half the league put in offers for OG Anunoby, but multiple team’s offers came public. Those offers being from the Grizzlies and the Pacers. Both teams were willing to part ways with three first-rounders in order to get Anunoby.

Here is what Zach Lowe said regarding the Grizzlies and Pacers:

“For instance, I’ve heard Memphis offered three first round picks for Anunoby,” said Lowe on his podcast. “But Toronto made it clear to these teams like ‘we want a player too.’ I don’t think that sort of player was on the table at least from their view at least in Memphis.

“Indiana, I heard offered three first round picks and the Rockets’ second round pick, which I believe they own in this upcoming draft. Which is almost like another first round pick.

“But again, the player chip wasn’t there for Toronto and they moved to fight another day.”

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are signing Doug McDermott to a one-year deal. The money was never made public.

This roster move comes after Tuesday’s trade getting rid of Jalen McDaniels to clear salary and for roster flexibility.

McDermott, who is 32 years old, played for the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers last season. With Indiana, he averaged 4.2 points in 11.3 minutes. With San Antonio, he averaged 6.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 15.2 minutes.

De'Aaron Fox Eyeing Potential $345 Million Contract Extension

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, De’Aaron Fox is not entertaining this offseason/preseason’s three-year, $165 million extension. The 26-year-old is setting his eyes on a bigger prize.

There are two options on the table for him: the first option would be a four-year, $229 million maximum extension Fox could sign with Sacramento during the 2025 offseason. The second option would be a five-year, $345 million supermax if he makes an All-NBA team this season.

It is important to note that both sides want to keep the relationship going, as Fox has been publicly and privately loyal to this organization. Management and ownership have given Fox exclusive abilities to be able to influence who they sign, what direction the team goes, etc.

Under his current deal, Fox is making $34.8 million this season and $37.0 million the following season. There is no team/player option in this contract; he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

Last season, Fox averaged 26.6 points (career-high), 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 2.0 steals in 74 games. He also had a career-high in minutes played with 35.9 minutes.

Sacramento opens their season at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 24th.
