Guys, Toronto is bad. They are not "tanking", they are bad.
they DESERVE a high pick.
The word tank is being thrown around fairly generously, and I think it's silly. Toronto just sucks. And they are rebuilding, as really, they don't even have, other than Gay, who is off the books anyhow after next year, any bad contracts outside of fields....even he can be seen as useful in some scenario's.
All it is, it a bad team, in a special year, who likely hopes to land in the top spot of the draft. Is it a guarentee? Nope, but its a start. sneaking into the first round in a horrific division, is NOT a good start, its just bad. Contrary to what people her eseem to think, it ain't gonna allow for an Indiana build, this ain't Indiana, the core here isnt as good, and Toronto isn't likely to attract much in the way of talent over the next few years.
its about recognizing your obstacles, and playing to the strongest odds.
ALL ROUTES ARE GAMBLES AT SOME LEVEL.
so that said, I pray the current squad stays intact, because they suck. And I hope they keep playing to lose. i wanna see a canadian superstar on the Raptors. I want that story, I want that circus.
