I'd take Edey over all of those players combined. But I still have high hopes for the 2026 pick. 2026 should also be a stacked draft class.

Unless something goes horribly wrong with the pacers, I'm not gonna hold my breath on a pick in the 20's that statistically amounts to nothing.

Pacers were a Mathurin injury and a couple Haliburton turnovers from being in the finals. Sh*t, even without Mathurin they outplayed Boston in games 1, 3, and 4. Pacers will be more experienced and Siakam will be there from training camp, Haliburton will have a healthy hammy. They’ll be a good team again.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Honestly anything can happen from now and the 2026 lottery.

1) TJ and Myles turner are free agents at the end of this season and will both be looking for huge paydays.
2) Mathurin needs to be extended by then so they might not have the money to retain depth +nemhards extention kicks in after this year
3) I wouldn't put any trust into Haliburtons health he seems like the type to get hurt every year.
4) all top teams in the east got better while pacers literally did nothing they could end up a play-in team this year

Nembhard seems to be improving quickly as well.

The guy I want from the Pacers is Nesmith. Too bad he just signed a team friendly contract recently.

He seems like the perfect 3 and D player to replace OG.

Jordan is just another one that got devalued (It looked like a potential steal and now out of the league at 25!)
Gary Trent Jr got devalued
Jalen McDaniels got devalued (lucky to still be in the league, hopefully the Kings make him look Sixers' McDaniels again)
Ochai got devalued
Bruce Brown got devalued
Denis came in hot as the world cup MVP..downwards from there.

Huge question marks remain on the coaching staff..Our team has 7 lotto picks with IQ, the talent is there, will it be maximized?
I cant wait to see where we are after 14 games using that 7-7 record when our Big 4 played together

Statistician are ya? Lowry was picked in the 20's, Hall of Famer, Siakam multiple time allstar and champion, OG max contract player, Ibaka nba champion...Kawhi 15th overall, Gasol was picked 48th, We don't don't get the Larry OB without our 20's and beyond picks whether we picked them or someone else did. There is no certainty in Raptor fan prognostications all fans want to know is: are we winning yet? If not who do we blame. Better than anything else blame wins championships. Right Raptor fans?

Nwora was a salary throw in because Pacers would not QO him. Trent was competent but only had scoring as a starter much like Lou Williams. McDaniels was well outside the rotation and a towel waver. Ochai is a McCaw meets Stanley re-visitation also known as outside the rotation and towel waver. Brown healthy is a solid piece. Dennis is a good player but not a floor general and not a starter.

With the way the raptors bench has been the last few years, and few players showing out, I would have thought they could have made some use of his shooting. Well, someone better be able to hit a shot.

The problem was that he was a selfish chucker who offered zero resistance or effort on defense.

I liked him at first but then realized he just doesn't play anything close to winning basketball.

So you sarcastically call me a statistician, and then proceed to pick a handful of outliers? Do you even understand how stats and probabilities work?

Guess what, some people win the lotto 6/49, doesn't make it statistically relevant nor is it a retirement plan. Some of the stuff I read on here, just baffling.
