The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly interested in trading for OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors and their ability to trade for him or another potential member of that core could have improved following their trade of Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks.
"I still don't know what the Raptors are going to do," said Brian Windhorst.
"The Nets are definitely calling the Raptors over the last 24 hours," replied Zach Lowe.
"If the Nets could flip some of this stuff that they got and pry OG Anunoby out of there, you may have something there with the Nets, but I don't know if they're going to be able to," added Windhorst.
The Nets could potentially reroute Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith while they also own future first round picks from the Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers.
The Raptors previously had interest in Nic Claxton and offered Brooklyn a first round pick last year.
"I'm just telling you the Nets' offering ability with what Toronto has is suddenly very interesting," said Windhorst. "I'm just going to leave it at that."
