An unnamed NBA executive said he heard Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is "frustrated with the losing" when referencing old rumors reporting the Toronto Raptors' interest in the 24-year-old.
"You keep hearing that Shai is frustrated with the losing, and so I think that’s the Toronto thing that we’ve all heard about with their interest in Shai this summer," the front-office member told Sam Amick of The Athletic in an NBA executive poll published Thursday.
"But how far do (the Thunder) want to push this (tanking effort)?"
TSN's Josh Lewenberg reported in September that the Raptors were monitoring Gilgeous-Alexander.
