TL;DR Summary

The New York Knicks have made a significant trade, acquiring OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a future second-round pick. Anunoby is expected to start at small forward and bring defensive prowess and improved shooting to the Knicks. Quickley will get a chance to start for the Raptors and potentially earn a larger contract, while Barrett's future with the Raptors remains uncertain. The Knicks' front office views this trade as a step towards acquiring a star player, as they still retain multiple first-round picks for future deals. Anunoby's contract situation will be a priority for the Knicks, as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season. The trade also addresses the Knicks' need for a roster balance and opens up opportunities for other players.
