    Better to keep our pick next year in a stacked draft. It stings but it’s better long term.

  2. I feel for the fans in here who lived on a prayer for the pick, this one still hurt even if I tried to have no hope

  3. kenny8881997

    We truly are in the worst timeline. Spurs with a top 4 and a top 10 pick.

  4. pakattack91

    Rather next years pick than 8th this year if it was going to drop.

    Edit: hypothetically, I know it it was top 6 protected.

  5. CazOnReddit

    At least we didn’t give up the 7th pick…

  6. NeatRough656

    Well let’s hope we find some gems with our 19th and 31st picks

  7. Sucks after having to watch what was a brutal season and come away with nothing. I know the draft next year is better, but we won’t be as bad and just gives us 1 year less to pair the pick with Scottie.

    Anybody saying it’s better we lose ours this year is coping. There’s no guarantee our pick next year is just as low plus we have to wait an extra year to develop the prospect which means he fits our timeline worse

    The spurs made a masterful trade and everything went right. Got rid if poetl, replaced him with a potential GOAT, perfect protections on the pick. They deserve this pick.

    this means we have to suck next year to make it worthwhile lol.

  11. NinfthWonder

    Where’s the guy who’s been posting a bird the last 2 months leading up to this?

  12. We ripped the band-aid off now we don’t gotta worry about this spurs pick if we’re suddenly trash next year.

    I can accept that.

  13. Hope this teaches Masai a hard lesson not to trade a top pick for a play in spot role player

  14. I wanna cry but its probably for the best, need copium

  15. Still remember people defending that Poeltl trade

  16. kevin_lam1203

    Honestly, it’s fine. The entire arena and draft lotto couldn’t give bigger fucks on this draft. Even the broadcast couldn’t pretend to be excited for this draft…

  17. RaspberryInfinite229

    I now really hope this draft was as bad as everyone was saying it was

  18. RedSnapper97

    Thanks Masai! Top 6 protection huh? Couldn’t even settle for 10 or even 8 which would have been enough??? Clown ass management

  19. Raptorsthrowaway1

    Considering how bad we were this year it’s a bit of a disaster that we didn’t manage to keep the pick

    Cooper Flagg next draft 🙏

  20. BubblyPhilosophy3476

    alot of this sub was straight up dumb defending the portl trade smh. Only the smart fans really saw this happening. Masai better sit down scotttie and tell him we going to take one more year

  21. Unkempt_Foliage

    Well that sucks. I was confused at first and when the spurs came up at 8th. I got excited I thought we made top 4. I didn’t realize it was our pick until later.

    I’m not kidding when I say 2023-24 will go down as one of the worst years for Toronto sports in general

    Raptors have sixth worst record in NBA and lose their best pick in the upcoming draft

    Leafs get eliminated in the first round again by the Bruins which will lead to a lot of things changing

    Jays absolutely suck and look like they are heading towards a rebuild

    Argonauts don’t look like they are going to do much this season

    The only team doing respectable is TFC being fourth in their division

    I’ve had nightmares of Toronto becoming Detroit, this looks like it’s becoming Detroit.

  23. Atlanta gets the #1 pick at 3%, we can’t win a near coin flip and the Spurs get two top 10 picks to pair with Wemby lol

  24. Guy_Le_Man

    Well this sucks, no pick in the top of the draft this year. Team won’t be bad enough to have a pick in the top 10 next year.

    Truly the worst outcome.

  25. A_Curious_Cockroach

    Miss out on a top 10 pick for Jakob Poeltl

    That was rough. At first I thought that was the Spurs pick at 8 and they were moving up. Then…the cold harsh reality check.

    Oh well…Pick is gone now. If they are a lot better next year, then great. If they are bad, then they can sag for Flagg.

  27. I guess we’re in year five of absolutely unwatchable Raptors basketball

    Dumbass trade. This front office has been in the shitter for too many years and people don’t say fuck all about it.
