OG Anunoby's extension is structured with maximum 8% raises to minimize 2021 hit, per a source.

Raps lose about $4.45M in 2021 space to get OG for $18M per.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Toronto Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby has agreed to a four-year, $72 million extension, including a player-option for the 2024-2025 season, @KlutchSports Head of Basketball Omar Wilkes tells ESPN.

[John Granato @johngranato]

An impeccable source says the Raptors and the Celtics are the favorites right now for James Harden. It’d be a package for Pascal Siakam and more or Jaylen Brown and more.

[J.E. Skeets @jeskeets]

Wow. That's a lot of jerseys.

[NBA Most Valuable Podcast @MostValuablePod]

Lorenzo Ball? 🧐 anyone else watching raps preseason hear that too or is the cabin fever just getting to me 😭

[NBA Most Valuable Podcast @MostValuablePod]

@chicco_n Fought top quality opponents at every weight class he competed at, carried speed and power throughout weight classes that hasn't been seen since Henry Armstrong. He's top 10 all-time just on those p4p feats alone, but I might just be a biased Filipino 🤷‍♂️

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall and a first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Everyone across NBA expected a number of positive tests because players are reentering their markets and restarting the league’s cohesive health/safety protocols. This is part of the process and similar to when players were tested in-market prior to the July restart in Orlando.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

48 NBA players have tested positive for coronavirus out of 546 tested during initial testing phase from Nov. 24-30, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
