How does the rules for our San Antonio pick work?

[Vampirate]

If our pick this year falls to 6 or less we get to keep it but in the scenario where it falls to 7 or higher and San Antonio keeps it, do our choice for their pick get deferred to next year?

Our draft pick is only top 6 protected for 2024, 2025 and 2026. If it doesn't convey it becomes 2 second round picks in the following draft. Essentially depending on the lottery we could keep our pick this year and next year's draft we'd be in the same position until the pick conveys to the Spurs or becomes 2 seconds.

So does this mean until we a top 6 pick between 2024-2026, we will get second round picks?

Also wouldn't it be beneficial for the Raptors to get a top 6 pick in 2025 or 2026, since this draft is supposed to be weak?

The issue is you're assuming we'll be this bad next year.

It took 4/5 starters out of our lineup to get this losing streak going. Had Barnes not gotten injured we'd be closer to the playin (not saying in the playin, but likely around the Nets record, maybe slightly above or below.

If they still own our pick next year, we wont be .500

There's people in this thread that had no idea what the terms to the trade were and still defended the trade

Do people still defend the trade? Haven't seen such comments in a very long time.

Indeed I haven’t seen many comments of people really in favour of that trade.

I was unhappy when it was announced and even more when the protection were discloses.

That is said even if I disagree with the direction taken by management, they went the absolute different way then what i wanted, objectively there is a rationale for doing that trade:

-Players and coaching staff wanted a center
-the core was including all star FVV, Siakam, DPOY candidate in OG and ROTY in Barnes
- despite the difficult season they were coming off a 48 win season
- the FO didn’t like this draft and assume it would be a middle 1st round pick. They didn’t mind giving up the pick
-the light protection were probably due because FO probably didn’t want to give pick 2023 and because our record was bad at time of trade, spurs wanted to makes sure the pick convey

Despite all of the above, the balance of pros and cons should have been to stay away of the trade.

But i could see why the FO wanted this trade.

The exact limbo situation we are in is why i don’t like to trade future 1st pick. Don’t trade a pick you don’t know the value. Recipe to backfire.

What about that was shaming?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, I've missed it...

If we tie with Memphis for 6th what happens to the pick?

A coin toss will happen. That's how we got Terrence Ross, who was then known as coin toss Ross lol

No it means to keep our pick we have to have a bottom 6 record plus stay within the top 6 after the lottery until 2026. In 2027 if the pick does not convey to San Antonio then they will receive 2 second round picks from us.

[DG88]

so wait, its top 6 protected for 3 years? man...what a horrible trade.. tf were they smoking

Bruh. I thought it was top 6 protected for 2 years as well.

Holy smokes. Terrible trade. Oh well. What’s done is done. No team executive has a flawless track record.
Not gonna keep crying about it on a daily basis like some people.

It's why I'm totally in for just conveying the pick this year in a bad draft. At least we'd be guaranteed our pick moving forward, which does 2 things for us. 1) Chance at more talented players in better upcoming drafts. 2) More trade flexibility with our future picks.

Thanks, I remember that now, I think we missed Harrison Barnes with that pick and he's STILL playing.

[Wise80]

It was a bad trade.

Those who keep trashing it - it's time to move on and hope for the best.

Those who keep defending it, you're just flat out wrong.

Can we at least wait till we see who the spurs draft with our pick？

No, it was an awful trade. Masai laid out the rationale. He thought we were a C away from being competitive. We overpaid for an average C and will miss the playoffs for the second year in a row.

The trade alone wasn’t a disaster. The disaster was the combination of the trade + holding onto FVV + dragging our feet on GTJ/OG/Siakam + firing Nurse + hurting our draft position in 2023.

It would be good to read the comments from the trade thread when it happened. Can't believe people defended it.

Thanks for taking the time to break this down. My question still stands, even though it's risky, wouldn't it make more sense to tank next year in a deeper draft but I guess we will see how it all plays out. At least the Raps have a good scouting team.

In hindsight it would have been better that they tanked last year and trade Fred, Siakam and OG to amass assets instead of giving them away for a team with a limited ceiling, but what's done is done.

As for tanking this year well I don't think it was the "plan" per se. I think without the injuries would would have been the 8th worst team. Injuries have just devastated the team where majority of our players are gleaguers, rookies and sophomores. You're not going to win in any situation unless you're extremely lucky. Regardless of whether we end the season as the 6th worst we're still beholden to the lottery balls. I'd rather just lose the pick this year since we have 2 picks this year in the mid first and at the beginning of the second. Should add some young depth and have another lottery pick next year.

Yea man, I wish they tried to tank last year for Wemby. It still blows my mind we didn't the writing on the wall early last year

a bunch of people/mods have deleted/edited their posts from the thread out of embarrassment. enjoy reading the stupidity of some.

[Axe Dragon]

We traded a top 7 pick for Poeltl and received a 20ish pick for Siakam. Our front office is arrogant and delusional.

A 20ish pick, another future pick, Kelly Olynyk, Ochai Agbaji for Siakam

Actually I have access to the logs and only 5 posts were deleted (none by mods) and no posts were edited.

Of the 5 deleted, 3 were duplicates. That leaves 2 potential people who deleted because of their take..
