This is the ideal position according to a potentialy troll faced DelAbbot if we're more than fine with sending the pick this year in a week draft. *Monty Burns bringing his fingertips together gif*.

You want your top 4 equity to be as high as it gets while still guaranteeing the pick moves if you don't move up in the draft. Masai and Bobby are geniuses at playing this hand. *Nods satisfactorily*.

Then we'd have full control over (with the ability to trade of course) our future draft picks!

Let's playin for 9th!

Just one game back of Memphis for #6. Portland looks to be out of reach, but if we could at least drop to #6, it'll improve our odds of keeping the pick.

In the next 9 games the Raptors will have probably 4, or maybe even 5 wins!

@ Portland
@ Denver
@ Detroit
vs Orlando
@ Orlando
vs Sacramento
vs Oklahoma City
@ Washington
vs Brooklyn
We all have different opinions, and that is one thing that makes this forum great.

Desmond Bane should be back soon for Memphis.

I only see 2-3 wins there (POR, DET, WAS), and they’re all away games, so it could go either way.

They’ll end at #6 or #7, which has a >50% chance of conveying the pick. Kinda disappointed.

The best hope is that we stick at 6th or potentially, somehow tie for 5th. We need to go on a massive losing streak. The greater hope lies in that Pacers pick. It would be even better if Siakam leaves them.

**** that. We're getting the 1st and 4th picks.

I’m in the mode of Raptors drafting 2/3 with Spurs at 4/5.

Raptors draft Topic

Spurs trade up and return 2025 pick and raptors take BPA at 4/5.



Yup, I’m going to be extremely disappointed…but I’m ready for it lol

Is this a possible permutation? (too lazy to look it up)

I'm fine with conveying that pick if it comes to it. Free that up for next draft, which is stronger. Seems like a pretty flat draft this time around, so we'll find some okay pieces with the Pacers/Pistons picks. I mean Givony has the likes of Dillingham as the 3rd best ranked player right now and although he's offensively talented, I'm not sure how he'll be able to defend anything at the next level.

Meanwhile a guy like Tyler Smith may well be available around our pick.

I think so. We can obviously win the lottery, and I think the Pacers pick is only 1->3 protected, so need them to lose the play in and get some crazy, but not too crazy, lotto luck. The lottery is for picks 1->4.

Great, then there's no need to think about the picks at all since the lottery hasn't happened.
