OG’s rookie scale deal enters it’s player option year this offseason and it seems like he’s going to be walking himself to the restricted market.
I personally think it’s a no-brainer to throw a big sheet at a player with the exact toolkit that we need for this team.
Assuming we move Bojan at some point, a team of Cade/Ivey/OG/Ausar/Duren is a phenomenally gifted defensive team with ✨ offensive upside ✨
If we allow ourselves an indulgence and presume that Cade and Ivey’s shooting numbers lift, and OG continues to shoot as he has his whole career, that could be a serious unit.
Anunoby was drafted in 2017. He’s in his seventh season and on his second contract. He’ll be a UFA this summer if he turns down his option.
He’s an intriguing possibility, albeit a somewhat injury-prone one. I’m not sure what the Pistons could do to distinguish themselves from other suitors, though.
