The New York Knicks have announced details of the trade with the Toronto Raptors, that brings the coveted forward OG Anunoby to the Big Apple.
In addition to the forward, New York acquired Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn in exchange for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a second-round pick in the 2024 Draft (from the Pistons, so most likely No. 31 or 32).
“We’re ecstatic to welcome OG, Malachi, and Precious to the Knicks family,” said Knicks President Leon Rose. “OG’s complete offensive game and ability to defend multiple positions will enhance our team on both ends of the court. Malachi and Precious are well-rounded players that will complement the hardworking and talented nature of our group. OG, Malachi, and Precious are perfect additions to the type of team and culture we are building in New York.”
Coach Thibodeau spoke about Anunoby before last night’s game against the Pacers.
“I think what OG has done and what he has shown is, one, he has positional size. Two, he can guard multiple positions. Three, he’s a terrific three-point shooter so he can space the floor. He’s also good in transition, very good finishing. And he’s young, so he still has a lot of development left in his game.”
Rose also thanked Quickley and Barrett, who are leaving the Knicks after 4 and 5 seasons, respectively.
“We want to extend our deepest gratitude to RJ and Immanuel for their time in New York. RJ and Immanuel both began their professional careers in Knicks uniforms and their contributions both on and off the court have had a great impact on this city and organization. They represented our organization with class every day and we wish them nothing but the best.”
