I thought we were getting their first in return? Was supposed to be like 5 or 6 spots back.
The full trade was:
Goran Dragic and Toronto's 2022 FRP (lottery protected) for Thad Young, Drew Eubanks (waived) and Detroit's 2022 SRP.
Currently the Toronto pick is tied for 19th. The Detroit pick is 33rd.
If the Raptors missed the playoffs, they keep their pick. Then their 2023 pick is owed to San Antonio instead (although protected 1-13). The Raptors would keep the Detroit pick either way.
They moved down trade slots about 10-15 picks for Thad Young. They saved some money as well so they could easily clear the tax. By doing that they were able to give Armoni Brooks a guaranteed deal for the rest of the season (and partial guarantee for next season).
He looked healthier last night on defence than I've seen in quite some time.
fwiw...im not worried about him anymore after last night....its not goign to be his mobility which would be a serious concern ....its just about him getting his timing down and that extra lift on his jumper..... hell havealmost two weeks on limited minutes as flynn is probably coiming back friday and tehn the week off for the play in....tehy are 33/1 to win the east on pinny right now....stupid line , imo
Yeah, we're picking early in the second round which isn't exciting in terms of prospects I've heard of, but exciting in terms of it being a clear signal the rebuild is over. This is the group we are rolling with unless a trade presents itself. We aren't looking to develop anymore core players beyond those already on the roster. Someone mentioned we're on pace for 48 wins in our first season without Kyle and mostly a new roster. That's incredible and we're going to improve on that over the next couple of seasons if we stay healthy.
