    Watching NYK at Portland. Portland is in full tank mode. I don't expect any wins from them from here on.
    Yep...they are getting killed and will lose at least the next 5 after this....

    Can any of the rules people explain it to me? The TOR pick is top 14 protected, so the spurs get it if it’s 15<, while the BOS is too 4 protected, meaning spurs get it if it’s 5<, correct? What is this “pick conveys at # 20, pick conveys at #23”?
    You got the gist of it.
    If it's top 14 protected, 15 and up is game.
    Same for the rest.

    You have the rules about when the picks convey right; what the poster is saying is that currently the pick is projected to be #XX and thus will convey...

    Lol, Never mind, NYK wound up losing to Portland. Trailblazers really fought for it.

    I can see the Spurs going 2 routes in the upcoming draft.

    Route 1:
    1st pick (Top 10): draft best Avaialble player
    2nd and 3rd pick (15-23): package together to move up.

    route 2
    1st pick (top 10): best avaialble player
    2nd: Top 20: High Risk/High Award pick
    3rd: (18-23): Safe pick

    Oh!!! I get it.. so if the draft lottery were to be today, TOR pick would be 23 and BOS would be 20 and thus convey. Correct?

    Pretty much...just take a look at Tankathon mock draft that will visually give you a good idea ...right now it has us with a pick at 7,19, and 20. Realistic right now we are on our second win so I think will be picking 8 to 11 and the Raptors pick will be around 20. Now the interesting thing is that I think the Bostons pick will be 23 and I think the Spurs will punt as they have the option to have their 2028 first with out a lot of protection

    I want PF Drew Timme in the draft. I wanted him with the Detroit pick in the 2nd round. I am not sure he will last until our 2nd rd pick. I know he isn't the most athletic guy out there. However, he has a great skill set, high BBIQ, plays with swagger and toughness, and is a team leader. I think he would fit in great here.

    Watching play, he reminds me a lot of Pau Gasol during the Laker years.

    I don't think Timme is an NBA player. He'll make money overseas.

    That’s what position they would be at the time this was posted. You’ve got it right. If Toronto makes the playoffs (1-8 after play in), we get their pick. If Boston’s pick is higher than 4, we get it.

    Boston was on a run before they got White I think that pick will be around 24 which will suck and we might kick that can to 2028 - I think our pick will be 11 once again which will really suck and then Raptors pick will be 21
    I thought we got both the 2022 1st and a potential swap in 2028. It's one or the other?

    Slight typo there. If Boston's pick is lower than 4, we get it.

    Our own:

    RAPTOR expected record
    33-49
    8th worst record.
    Expected draft odds:
    26.3%Top 4
    6% First


    Toronto FRP

    RAPTOR Expected record
    46-36
    7th in the East
    11th overall
    In the play in tournament
    Pick Conveys at #18 assuming they win 1 game in play in tournament


    RAPTOR Playoff chance: 86%
    So 14% chance it does not convey currently.


    Boston FRP

    RAPTOR Expected Record
    49-33
    4th in the East
    8th overall
    Pick Conveys at #23
    Raptor Playoff Chance: 99%
    So <1% chance it does not convey.


    So our playoff chances have essentially doubled with the last two wins. Its still an outlier scenario at 7% but with the play in being so close and the young group being hungry, I definitely think the tank is on life support. This team isn't going to mail it in, and DJM is playing at an exceptional level. The teams we beat aren't world beaters, but it was a b2b on the road and don't be surprised if these guys learn a few things from it and actually play better going forward. They could just as easily play just as poor as the rest of the low points of this season again, FWIW.

    Toronto lost a game and dropped in the standings a bit, but Atlanta taking 2 Ls was probably good for them as well so not much change there. Them dropping to a play in spot would be good for the pick status, but only if they manage to win a game and actually make the playoffs.

    Boston looks the best they have all year and continues to shine. Derrick was a little worse in game 2, but still looks to be a pretty easy fit with them. Boston's shot selection is utter trash, so we'll see if they can maintain this level of play.

    ^nice thread

    I think the last two victories, our players rallied after losing a teammate. I like watching them win, but they should fall back to earth losing to Bulls, Heat, Grizzlies and Wizards, and even Kings. Kings are winning with Sabonis and Co. Also Kings, immediately prior to meeting Spurs, will be facing good teams and probably lose, so yup they could take it on us at their home, L. I think Spurs will have worst record than Kings by early March. Tank for Chet baby!

    The Spurs actually have quite a lot of winnable games left. Blazers 3 times, OKC twice, Pacers, Rockets, Washington... I could see them having a .500 win % from now until the end of the season, or close to it.

    There's no chance they end up with a worse record than OKC, Houston, Detroit, Orlando and Indiana. Add Blazers probably as they begin tanking hard, unless it's the Lakers they're playing. Spurs would likely have the 7th to 9th best lottery odds. Hopefully they get some luck with the ping pong balls.

    At this point it's not unreasonable to root for them to get to the play in and have a chance to beat the Lakers. Would be epic. Besides, after the top 4 or 5 (if Shaedon Sharpe is in) from the draft there's not too much between the players projected from 6 to 12.

    I think they have a good shot at beating the Bulls tonight. I wouldn't say they are favored, but I do think they are a bit better off than RAPTOR does for this game who basically says the Bulls are a 2:1 favorite. I would say its a 3:2 situation. After that the Spurs are STRONG favorites in the next two games. If the Spurs win tonight they could easily go on a 5 game RRT win steak which would actually be pretty epic for this young crew. I'm kinda rooting for it.

    Tonight will be tough though.

    Agree. I didn’t see the Bulls’ injury prior.

    OKC beat a hapless NYK, Portland beat Milwaukee in MIL, Pelicans slaughtered the Raptors.
