There goes the McCain or Carter dream

That’s not much of a dream, at least not mine.

I’m liking Tyler Smith more and more at 19.

Well at least we know who we'll probably draft 19th in this draft...


Doubtful McCain, Carter or so on are there at 19.

Didn’t we get three firsts? Indy 2024 and 2026… what was the third?

Ngl forgot about that one lol

“The 2024 first-round picks will be Indiana’s own, and “the worst of Utah/Houston/Clippers/OKC,” according to Wojnarowski.”

I think we traded that pick tho. Olynk and Ochai

Yeah man I can’t believe this **** is still going on.

We traded a 1st round pick for a 2nd round pick. Periot

We traded Dragic and the 20th pick for Thad and the 33rd pick.

Why is it so controversial to just use the FACTS of the trade?

Ok so we traded Dragic and a first round pick (#20) for Thad and a second round pick (#3)

That's the positive twist I tell myself. Dropping to 19th might force them to take an upside swing like him.

Wondering if resting IQ that game was worth it.
They actually had the chance of knocking the Pacers into the play in. Talk about running away from holding destiny in your own hands.

I wouldn't be surprised if nobody knew the rules.

Imagine trading a first overall pick for a 13th pick and framing it as "trade was bumped down 13th positions"

Imagine whining about it for two years.

We told our toddler to put his jacket on this morning and he started crying. It reminded me of realgm.

Don't even care. Sarr wouldn't even be a top 5 in next year's draft. Retaining our 2025 pick is ideal. But I wouldn't be upset if we end up jumping into the top 4 this year.

It's so obvious that the league rigged this - they even switched from coins to ping pong balls - so that the Raptors would lose here, but win at the lottery night.

Or convey, if that's what Masai wants. It's starting to be what I would prefer. I'm really not high on the top 10 in this draft. It reminds me of 2011 - Kyrie and a whole bunch of nothing in the top 10, then Klay, Kawhi and Jimmy thereafter.

This is hilarious. Fans jumping off cliffs every time the Raps lose something. Oh and somehow draw consolation this the bad intention of external forces beyond our control. Hey if we lose the top 6 pick this year we get it, or a version of it, next year. We find the best 19th pick we possibly can round one. We package the 31 and Poetl for a legit starter. We run 82 scrimmages next year and rock the 2025 draft. There is no loss here just have to a find a player with the best floor or we end up throwing the 19 away.

I hope we have the fortitude to take someone like da Silva, Tyler Smith or Isaiah Collier and of course if Edey is there we should pounce.

Pro tip: irony isn't from Pittburgh.

Watch on YouTube

That's the wrong Cameroonian.

Missi looks like a Clint Capela 2.0. I guess he's decent and will have a long career but really too low of a ceiling for me.

Take a gamble with the taller Chomche who is almost 2 years younger and may be a true 7fter with possible 3pt range.

That Siakam trade just keeps on getting better. Made a Vince Carter like trade but this time the guy actually wanted to stay and we just wanted to get rid of him loll.

Please allow us to keep our pick this year because we don't have many other reasons to really watch this team next year. Need more prospects to keep me entertained.

#19 kinda screams Edey doesn't it?

I'm curious to see if he translates. Hometown kid.

Ppl perceive the draft in such a bizarre way imo. So now the 19th overall is a big disappointment. But let's spend YEARS and make 1000s of posts about trading down from 20th to 33rd.

And the 14th overall from ONE YEAR BEFORE A TRADE (agbaji) is treated as a trade throw-in.

Mystery box logic combined with bizarrely selective value assessment all just used as agenda fodder.

I haven't been stressing about this pick because I know how Masai operates....chances are the player he would take at 16 is also going to be available at 19.

This is such a hilarious take and I don't even usually see who says what. But in this case, of course it's chandan. Because the difference between pick 1 and pick 13 is apparently equivalent to the difference between pick 30 and pick 43.

I mean....you can't make this stuff up.

Chandan's little secret colluding social media gang isn't around to gas him up now. Remember his plea
to the mods: "why are you banning all my friends?"

Imagine that lol. This dude so invested in spamming and trolling realgm raptors that he thinks his secret social media headquarters constituted "friendship" lol.

Ain't this brother live in Australia or something? Do they not have friends in Australia?

I mean...this guy trying to start **** with me because I once made reference to my "lady friend".

Right. Sorry chandan. I would've been straight if i said "my friend from a secret exclusive social media site that was designed for the purposes of organizing a collective spamming effort on raptors message board".

I don't know why you are such a weird person to interact with.

Let's see what magic Ujiri will conjure up with #19. Even Siakim went #27 and FVV went undrafted.

I have a feeling that #19 will either be good, bad or in-between for us or another team.
