If they convey the pick there’s an argument it’s a top 2 worst Raptors season ever.

dalano will save us….blazers are gonna win 3 more games due to his greatness.
Toronto man saving toronto as usual.

It was worth the one play-in game, though. Think of the experience the guys got by losing to a 9-year-old!

Pacers pick is a 1st rounder, say lottery pick.

Bobby Webster must answer for his war crimes

if Basketball Gods exist, and Silver is merciful, we will keep our pick

I remember the year that Masai took over that he said that having a losing season and not having a pick was just wrong. Fast forward to 10 years later and we might be in that same predicament.

Wow first time I’m hearing of this

We traded Pascal for Bruce Brown (and picks) … That trade should have a national inquiry

If that happens there has to be a fall guy within the front office. Even if people don’t want it to be either of the two main guys who should actually be in the hot seat

just go back to watching your OKC Thunder, Grange

I mean Masai didn’t break Scottie’s hand lol. If we don’t keep the pick I can at least respect the attempt at last minute tanking.

This team is going to be pretty bad for the next 3 seasons. Lots of lottery picks in the future even if we don’t have one this year
Phil_Dude
Just fire Masai and get it over with
Seanbig888
That’s wrong we will have a pick Just not our own

Grange can’t even type coherent English anymore

No way the nba will allow the spurs to lose a pick to the raptors..what rock do u guys live under..also we deserve to lose our pick..everyone wants to praise management..they absolutely fumbled the bag

It’s only astonishing if you’ve never been a fan of any Toronto team (baseball, hockey, basketball).

When the FO let their second best player walk for nothing (Dennis = nothing), you knew the FO didn’t know what they were doing

It’s not amazing, it’s poor front office management.

Aren’t we in 6th last? Do we lose our pick if we fall to 7th in the lottery?
RiverDesperate1186
Lmao we traded this shit for Jakob poetel

Always negative Grange. So sick of this guy.

We have the Pacers FRP. Is Grange lamenting the 2% chance the Pacers lose the play-in, then win the lottery into the top 3 while simultaneously our pick falls outside the top 6 (although Pacers winning the lottery would be enough to do that)
This is doomerism for the sake of doomerism. When Scottie is back next year we have enough to be competitive for the play-in if things go well

If there was a year to convey the pick, it would be this year. All of the supposed top picks all have flaws to keep them from being “surefire”
Eastern-Technology84
Don’t worry guys, I already manifested It. I have been told our pick will be top 4

Am I wrong to think Masai and Bobby’s time is almost up?
Green-Umpire2297
wait he is still astonished? the trade is very very old news.
I imagine Grange’s in-depth reporting on all of this will be coming any day

I understand the NBA draft is a highlight for fanbases whom have had nothing but lowlights for a full season. But I really hope we don’t keep the pick this year.
This draft is considered to be the worst since the Anthony Bennett draft. Which means a lot of busts and surprises. The fact that it’s a very very weak draft means more fringe late 1st/2nds will declare that may turn out great if developed properly.
The Bennett draft (’14?) had McCollum(10), Adams (12), Olynk(13), Giannis (14), Schroeder (17), Gobert (27).
Unless we were to land in the top two and could get either Sarr or Risacher, we would be better off gambling on later picks. With Scottie, IQ, Barrett and Dick, we need to focus on our lackluster front court. Being able to grab Bobi Klintman with the Pacers pick would be outstanding, 6’10 PF/SF perimeter threat who had a great year against the more physical NBL playing against grown men.
We aren’t going to be great next year. I would rather go next year knowing we have our pick and do terrible than to do terrible with a much better draft class without our pick.
My dream pick for next year is Khaman Maluach, who just committed to Duke. Currently ranked #3, has only played basketball for 5 years. 7’1, 250 pounds with a standing reach of 9’8… In comparison, Wembys standing reach is 9’7.
I believe if the Raptors have a top ten pick next year, that they will go all out in trying to trade up for him, considering the Raptors lack of a frontcourt, Maluach being a talented shooter and defender, has plenty of untapped potential and is a graduate of the NBA Africa Academy program.
