man, Orlando currently with a 17.3% chance to win the lottery with #5 and #7 (71.5% to move into the top 4). They aren't trading those picks.

the bulls pick is top 4 protected. They don't want that one moving up.

oops, I missed that. Still a glimmer of hope they'll trade it for Freddy then.

think we've built up a good buffer to hold on to that sixth spot. can only hope the magic find a way to pass us.

I agree, but I don't trust a healthy Raptors team. Just look at what they did to the Kings defensively. If they put together a few games like that and gain confidence on what everyone thought should be a top 5 defense this year then the tank could be in jeopardy with a 5/6 game winning streak.

how likely are they to remain healthy though? with the minutes nurse plays them at they'll never really be at their best at both ends. just a matter of time before someone else gets hurt.

and they're thin as hell. we pretty much run a seven man rotation plus ten minutes of juancho. none of that portends to winning basketball if they stand pat.

but i guess this is the stealth tank route

yes but to 4 each time.

It jumped to 1 in 2019

everytime I watch Wemby highlights my jaw drops.....if Raptors get that #1 pick I think the celebration would be up there with winning a championship

How should the team move forward this season?
