Drafting Cade this year is going to be our Tim Duncan moment.

I assume the 2021 pick they traded to the Magic is lottery protected.

But what the hell? Magic's rotation is just one step up from OKC's right now.

or whoever they think is worthy of the #1 pick. if they do their homework and get that right player, i.e. the best player in the draft, it would all be worth it.

i mean they could figure the best player in their career could be actually some guy in the 6th or 7th spots like Moses Moody or whoever and trade down to get another asset. that would be spectacular as well.

This team is more likely to draft 11th to 15th. When FVV and Lowry returns, Nurse will run all the starters to the ground and get the "play-in" game. With the addition of Birch and Gillepsie, and how hard some of the guys are playing, this team is unfortunately not bad enough to be in the Cade sweepstakes. If they were serious about Cade, they should be resting OG and Pascal tonight against the Spurs. With how bad the Bulls are, I can see the Raptors reach 10th before the season is done by default.

Top 4 protected.

This could be an amazing night if New Orleans, Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit can win with Toronto losing.

No, I suspect the Raptors pull out another clutch loss tonight. Flynn will brick the game tying 3, book it.

You're in for one hell of a disappointment. For perspective sake:

Duncan's rookie numbers
21pts, 12rbs, 3ast

Tim Micallef keeps pushing this idea that it's disrespectful to the Raptors to want them to tank. I think the wrong guy left that show.

LoveMyRaps · Post #1952 » by **LoveMyRaps** » Thu Apr 15, 2021 1:34 am

Please lose.

TD2FutureStar · Post #1953 » by **TD2FutureStar** » Thu Apr 15, 2021 1:39 am

Damn u Flynn. Doesn't he know we're tanking? Lol

LoveMyRaps · Post #1954 » by **LoveMyRaps** » Thu Apr 15, 2021 1:40 am

Another pointless win in the bag.
Can't wait for this team to finish 11th in the division. Miss out on the play-in game and a good draft pick.

Mehar · Post #1955 » by **Mehar** » Thu Apr 15, 2021 1:43 am

Raptors play the Magic and Okc this week. 3 game win streak coming. We need to forget about top 5, and focus on picks 11-15. Like I said earlier, Nick Nurse and this organization is simply not committed to "Tanking". They added Birch, and played Siakam and OG today (when they should be resting). Such a shame, but this organization wants to make the playoffs. Pointless to talk about Cade and Suggs anymore.

Well Duncan played all 4 years of college...Cade is coming out as a freshman and I would suspect a big man will have better rebounding numbers.

A fair comparison will be Cade's fourth NBA season lol soooooo

Welp, today was a disaster for the tank. Our new additions were the reason we won. Masai adding two new centres last second before the playoff eligibility date proves he has a treadmill mentality for this season.

Don't wanna hear any Masai is tanking talk.

edit: Oh and we're for sure beating the Magic and Thunder this week. Huge loss for the tank.

We’re load managing our guys to make sure they’re fully healthy and ready to go for the must win play-in game.

Masai and Nurse both want to make the playoffs. Let them enjoy their first round exit against the Brooklyn Nets. Need to focus on draft picks 11 to 15. I am done talking about Cade and Suggs, since this team is not committed to that. 3 game win streak coming up.

At 10-13 where do you stand now?
