Bro, they didn’t waste a whole year.. what if I told you that next year‘s 20th overall selection is more impactful than anybody in the top 5? Would you still consider it a loss in the long-term?
It’s natural for you to feel disappointed because like everybody after such a miserable season, you want immediate excitement.. but sometimes what feels good initially is not always in your best interest.
It sucks that we lost our draft pick. At least we have next year’s and 2 this year!
It’s too early to make assessments because we don’t know which player will materialize from our selection next year..
Tough luck, but still some good days ahead. How we feeling Raptors fans?
Thanks for the video
just focus on tyler smith and kyle filipowski
I think it's been reported Knicks weren't offering IQ and RJ in 2023.
Let’s be honest rappers fans are spolied… lol we act like we wouldn’t have lost the pick next year and you guys would be here crying and complaining also… bro soon as we traded poetlt y’all should have let go of that pick lol move on we got a shit ton of picks and a bright future 😂 we have a top 5 GM… coach who only knows how to coach offence we good lol
This is why I said I don’t want to hear about players going in the top 10 unless i know we’re picking in the top 10. My focus was always on the picks we were guaranteed. A lot of people are upset now because they already penciled down players in the top 10 and watched countless highlights of these players which created false hope. This is what I avoided by not looking into many of these top 10 players.
We now have control over our picks and they have higher value. No conditions on them. This gives the raptors much more flexibility. This is a blessing. I was embracing getting the pick but relieved now we didn’t get it. If there is someone in the draft they really want, word is the rockets and grizzlies are looking to trade them.
I think this is a disappointment for the season but not for the franchise. We know who our starting 5 is, we have a young core to build around and we have our future star already in the making we have a direction. 3 picks might over saturate what the raptors have already gained in the 23-24 season. We still have 2 picks to work with and free agency. It's called a "lottery" for a reason you take a chance to see what you get and that's it you win or you don't at least going forward the raptors have something to fall back on
you are a victim of the moment. stop taking reactionary narratives from twitter and reddit
The highlights of this season were Scottie's all-star ascension and Gradey Dick jokes.
What nest for massai ?
They need to fire him and he can take darko with him too
It does suck to lose our lottery pick, but it's not all bad, we do have a 1st rd pick from the Pacers from the Siakam trade and the 31st pick. At least we are not the Pistons or the Nets who both got screwed.
The Lakers let Phil Handy go…we need him back as skills development coach asap…
At some point you have to get over it…
Multiple seasons of failed expectations and poor front-office decisions, and now years before the team recovers. Now that Pascal and OG are gone, they are very likely to be worse in 2024-25. What is MLSE waiting for? Time for Masai and Bobby to go….
You guys acting like kids
how is this a waste of a season when jakob is better than the 6-8 pick. we get control over our future picks. brought some Canadians home. made our future brighter and our team younger. maybe gave scottie the keys a little too early but the whole will grow as a whole together. we have nothing uncertain other than bringing gary back and thts much of an issue.
