Game Theory Podcast (Sam Vecenie) does this Memphis/Toronto deal in their new mock draft



Memphis get: Poeltl, 19th pick, 31st pick

Toronto get: 9th pick (Salaun), Luke Kennard (1 year left on contract)

Personally I think Raptors get fleeced here lol. was pretty surprised

  1. That’s an absolute fleece of the Raptors considering the type of draft this is.  

    I would only do that trade if the raptors kept their picks and routed Kennard to a 3rd team since we already have Dick.  

  2. I wouldn’t take this too seriously. This is a bad deal, the difference between the 9th and 19th pick is not that tremendous this year.

    only way I see raptors trading is up is by using Bruce Brown, a future second freed up from the Jak trade, or cash considerations

    That’s a bad deal for us.

    Poeltl for 9th pick is a framework that makes sense for both teams but the Grizzlies will want a pick back. Giving up the 31st pick to make the deal work wouldn’t be a problem but if the Grizzlies really want the 19th pick, they will have to sweeten the pot for us…. not the other way around. lol

  5. A trade involving Poeltl… But not getting any 2025 assets and taking us down to 1 pick in the 2024 draft. Goddamn this trade is absolute ass.

    Massively undervalue of Jakob, players improve faster with good players at each position, and having a starting Centre on this roster will allow BBQ to fit into their roles better. Toronto likes the Center duo of Jakob/Kelly, good vets that want to be in Toronto and will help the young guys improve and mesh.
