Towards the end you can clearly hear him say “if you don’t keep it, then you’d still owe it to San Antonio”

Grange doubling down hard on being a professional idiot. Masai trying to be nice but you can tell he’s just flabbergasted by Grange’s ignorance. Masai even tries to give him a graceful out of his mistake, and Grange doubles down on the top 6 protected part, and makes even less sense as he talks further. The guy couldn’t journalist his way out of a wet paper bag.

Please hire me to cover the Raptors
If the bar is this low when keeping this pick is both a huge part of this season’s narrative and yet the functions of its protections are not known by those covering said team…like I try not to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to gaffes like this but this is a very easy concept to grasp

He understands how pick protections work. He just garbled his question badly.

“If you don’t get the pick this year, but do you get it, then are you committed to not getting it next year? or if you’re committed to getting it, how committed are you not getting if you did get it, while also not getting but getting it?”

Grange should resign. This is embarrassing

I don’t understand what the problem is? He’s saying if they draft top 6 this year the pick becomes protected top 6 next year so would they try to tank next year to get another top 6 pick

Do better Grange… you want him to say “Yes…we will tank next year for a top pick” The block is hot right now especially with all this gambling stuff
