Toronto Pick Watch (Top 6 protected)

[duncan2150]

Sitting both Quickley and RJ Barret.

RJ is out because of the death of his young brother

Portland has an outside chance of catching Toronto for 6, dropping Toronto to 5. Toronto may not win another game the rest of the year.

They won 2 of their last 10, they need to win a lot more to erase that 4 games difference between them and toronto......

so we traded poetlt away for nothing.Should just traded him to boston

[spurraider21]

even if the pick does not convey this year, we still own the pick in 2025 subject to the same protections, and then again in 2026

And the raps are 7th now with more than 60% for the pick to convey, we repeat and repeat this but some are pretty crazy there.

and if they get into 6th position its still over a 50% chance of conveying (and in fact maximizes the chance at getting exactly the #7 overall pick which is the single best outcome)

[TD 21]

Been thinking about this a little more, and am even less concerned about the TOR pick than ever, because I am taking this perspective:

If when we traded Jak, I was given the choice between:

(1) three straight years of chances to get between the 7-10 pick, but the odds each year were: Y1 - 55%, Y2 - 45%, Y3 - 40%. If none of those hit, you get two SRPs.
(2) the number 20 pick in Y1, guaranteed

I’m taking choice #1 every time.

So from that POV, the TOR pick is right on schedule.

It's why I've been saying it's a great trade no matter how it turns out . . . but, given who they Spurs are dealing with, when it doesn't convey this year, the pick should immediately be made available in any trade of significance they discuss this off season.

I think it will have more value this way to be honest. A “potential 2025 lottery ticket” etc

68.04% chance to convey if Toronto finishes 7th worst

And on the outside closing fast is Brooklyn. Now just 2 losses ahead of Toronto…

With as little time left in the season as there is, I see this as just a two team battle for 6/7. I don’t see either dropping past Brooklyn, or climbing over Portland

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Yeah, they’re keeping their pick this year damn

[spursparker9]

If Toronto keep the top 6 protected pick, this will be carried over to next year draft for Spurs again right?

Two more years after this one.

[duncan2150]

Huge game for us against the grizzlies tonight and toronto playing the wizards tomorrow

[onechance87]

we must beat memphis today

The problem with that is that Charlotte is breathing down OUR necks, only two games back.

We will pass charlotte imo

[scott]

Honestly don't care if we pass CHA. The 4% difference at a Top-4 pick isn't something to be worried about in this draft.

[baseline bum]

Only a 46% chance they keep it if they finish sixth worst.

[BatManu20]

And they have the hardest remaining schedule in the NBA lol. We'll definitely pass them tbh.

[ismael-robert]

They control their own destiny...they control what they win n dont...they won't win more than Charlotte cause they'll strategically ensure it...be dumb to do or think otherwise...look at the crap they pulled tonight that allowed Memphis to lap Toronto

[exstatic]

And they have the hardest remaining schedule in the NBA lol. We'll definitely pass them tbh.

Are you even watching Spurs games?

[FutureMan]

This pick is the perfect personality test.

Pessimist - this pick won’t convey this year
Optimist - this pick will definitely convey this year
Realist - at this point odds are that it will convey this year but if not it’s very likely to convey in the future

[Splits]

lol Craptors have double the wins as the Wiz and are getting +6.5 tonight
