O.G. Anunoby wasn't moved before Thursday's NBA trade deadline, but the Toronto Raptors appeared to have multiple proposals on the table.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers each offered three first-round picks in exchange for the sixth-year forward, sources told ESPN's Zach Lowe.

It's unclear what the other components of each team's proposal were, but the Raptors were apparently seeking a high-level player or prospect to go along with the draft selections.

Memphis and Indiana both have a collection of first-rounders at their disposal, with the latter possessing three first-round selections in this year's draft.

The New Orleans Pelicans were another club linked to Anunoby ahead of the deadline, but the club reportedly had no serious talks with Toronto, Lowe adds.

Anunoby is regarded as one of the top 3-and-D wings in the Association. He's averaging 16.9 points and 2.1 steals while shooting 36.6% from deep over 45 appearances this season.

Anunoby is under contract through at least next season. The Indiana product holds a $19.9-million player option for the 2024-25 campaign.
