Ideally I'd like them to get a top 5 pick this year but there is also a benefit in having this young core get used to winning and getting some experience in finishing the season in a competitive manner. A perfect scenario would be plenty more close losses as we saw in the beginning of the season
@@RaptorsReport The odds are flattened enough that I'm ok with not being one of the 3 worst teams. ideally we would be one of the 5 worst in odds but honestly I cant root against the team when they are winning
The team is trending in the right direction for more winning as long as they stay healthy. It will be difficult to tank without trading someone away. Also, the defence is improving a lot. That's not a good tanking recipe.
The Tank That Never Was. It was a mirage from the start. The injuries helped the narrative that the Media and Social Media were pushing. Every voice on the team said we were rebuilding/developing. That never sounded like tanking We got so many, unexpected, development minutes, and tough losses. we are 4-12, 3 games behind 6th place. Box Score / casual watchers saw tanking. What they were really watching was development. rebuilding/developing ≠ Tanking ---------------------- tanking breeds bad energy, bad habits, bad locker rooms, over time. Ask Philly fans
It’s not just about the #2 pick, there are some very good prospects at the top of the draft. Imagine if the Raptors walked away from the 2021 draft with Kispert or Davion Mitchell instead of Scottie?
What our the odds if we don’t have a top 3 worst record.. we keep shying away from this rebuild… I hope you guys aren’t the same one gunna complain about being mid… I don’t understand why as a raptors fan base we are happy about 50 wins and a first round exit lol
So 14% isn’t enough for you to try for a generational talent like cooper flag… your worried about 14% imagine if we had cooper beside Scottie…. You gotta take risk in order to see great results.. you wanna be mid play it safe… raptors need a top 5 pick no matter if we only have 14% we have evn lower percent of making it to the playoffs and even lower of winning anything that matters…
@@RaptorsReport agreed, it's a stacked draft; Ace and Harper looking nice as well. My comment is aimed towards those who want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. They think that manufacturing the worst record in the league will automatically give you Flagg; this is not a guarantee. Look @ the 2024 draft. Pistons had the worst record and ended up with the 5th pick. Atlanta was 21/30 with a 3% chance of getting #1 and they stole it from under Detroit's noses.
Tanking is high risk, low chances of success. Playing your heart for 82 games will bare a collective dividend much higher than any one player can bring.
I would take Portl over Gobert any day. Happy that he's on our team. And honestly, I don't mind the wins. I like watching this scrappy team give other teams a hard time.
@@youknowthevi6es375 hmm, I had never really considered this. Maybe I’ll make a poll on Twitter to see what the consensus is. If it’s the majority I’ll change it to one of the greys in the color palate. If it’s not the majority view, perhaps you could turn down the brightness on your phone/computer? Thanks for the feedback!
@RaptorsReport it's a minor inconvenience (probably only to me) and a first world problem. I have dark theme on everything. Yes, it's absolutely something I can control on my side as well. I'll continue enjoying your videos regardless 👍
Why can’t we just tank one season get this over with… sell high on jak cash out on bouche… get a top 5 pick… I don’t understand how we look at this roster and can’t realize we don’t even have a closer… why are we so hell bent on play in and 1st round exits… sometimes you gotta lose to win it’s that simple we aren’t gettin another kawhi Leonard to save us
ty for pushing back on the fan flunk for flagg. let the boys run, we'll land where we will. great vids

We are a 30+ win team healthy pretty comfortably imo. We are stil missing a ton of guys. Imagine Kelly at the backup 5
@@1800LUNATIC yup, I think they’re clearly too talented to tank at the moment, for better or worse.

Well wriitten, sir. Might I add that Jakob is DONE with tanking.
Thanks!
Super thanks for the super thanks!
Even if you finish with the top 3 worst record, you only have a 14% chance of getting the #1 pick.
Exactly, our record was pretty bad last year, didn’t even get close.
It’s not just about the #2 pick, there are some very good prospects at the top of the draft. Imagine if the Raptors walked away from the 2021 draft with Kispert or Davion Mitchell instead of Scottie?

Don't tank. Go for it
One more for pizza party 🙏
What are your thoughts should Raptors beat Cleveland on sunday? Crazy but upsets in games this season are numerous!
The Raptors are playing well so it’s possible, but unlikely.
But they should a generational talent is out there in Cooper Flag the Spurs got theirs alien in Wemby we should go get that 7’9 guy

Good videos, sincerely. But your colour scheme is a bit of a flash bang. I need a dark theme setting.

@ I’ll see the results of the poll. If it’s something most people want to change, it only makes sense for me to do!

Perfect time to trade jak to continue the tank
