[Grange] Last year Raptors traded their ’24 1st (protected 1-6) to Spurs for Poeltl because… they were sure the 2024 draft was so weak it didn’t matter. After trade Raptors have picks #6, #20, #27, #31… Purposely trading out of ’24 draft to now having 4 picks in the top 31 is quite the switch
Last year Raptors traded their own '24 1st with 1-6 protections to Spurs for Poeltl because a) they didn't think they'd be anywhere near draft lottery this yr or next, so were really trading two 2nds & b) they were sure the 2024 draft was so weak it didn't matter. 1/

Raps buying back into the draft? Maybe saw someone they like?
Soooooooooo we tanking or???
Does anyone know how the Raptors pic works? They are tanking now and likely to keep their 2024 1st round pick this year.
Ugh I feel like we are going to lose that Raptors pick now…
Our best chance to get a high lotto pick from this is 2024. After that, Raptors could very well say fuck it and clear house to tank. Let’s hope it does coney
Package it up for Trae Young already
No way they use/draft those picks. They will trade for someone to help Scottie, can’t wait to develop guys for 3 years and then watch Scottie walk
