Raptors Rumors: O.G. Anunoby to Leave Rich Paul, Klutch Sports and Hire New Agent

Toronto Raptors star O.G. Anunoby is changing representation, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.

Stein reported the 6'7" forward is moving on from Rich Paul-owned Klutch Sports. Omar Wilkes was his agent with Klutch.

The decision comes as Anunoby has been the subject of regular trade speculation. He's due to earn $18.6 million in the 2023-24 season and has a $20 million player option for 2024-25.

The 25-year-old averaged 16.8 points and an NBA-high 1.9 steals this past season. He also shot 47.6 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from beyond the arc. He's a genuine three-and-D player at a time when that archetype has never been more valuable.

SNY's Ian Begley reported in January the New York Knicks were "comfortable" putting multiple first-round picks on the table for Anunoby before their results started turning around. Zach Lowe of ESPN specified in February offered three first-rounders ahead of the 2023 trade deadline.

Anunoby will presumably opt out next summer because he'll be on solid footing to command a lucrative multiyear deal from the Raptors or another team.

Now is the right time to change agents because whoever replaces Wilkes won't be immediately thrust into pivotal contract negotiations. The new agent can also lay the groundwork for any prospective trade if the Raptors finally decide to pivot toward a rebuild.
