Could a lost season be in the Raptors best interests long term?

If we did in fact get the third overall pick it's hard to say a lockout would be the worst thing. That's a sure shot at a potential all-star potential player, whereas the team could overachieve under Casey and get the eight seed (not impossible) and end up with a good player, but no difference maker.
It pains me to say this when I love basketball so much and the idea of a lockout because billionaires want more money is infuriating.@sweatpantsjer

It really is impossible for the players to win this. Yeah, Lebron is a big star and has a trillion dollars to sit on for the rest of his life, but all the other kids coming through the system with no skills other than basketball aren't hoping for careers at Subway. At some point, the players union is going to have to ask itself if it only represents established stars or the entirety of its constituents. A lot of ooooooooold vets chasing rings aren't getting younger, but anyway, I'm not sure how long it would take for the players to realize that time and money is on the side of the owners. Luckily for us, because a hard cap is looking like a faster route to parity than sucking every year and hoping we score big in the draft. So yes, the lockout will be beneficial to us, and it hinges on the hard cap. I guess the players get screwed...

I think that it hurts us, but not that much. Individually speaking, it hurts Bayless the most by a pretty large margin. He's got the skills, he needs the actually playing time and experience to develop his PG skills and have the game slow down for him. But if he's the real thing AND the season gets cancelled then we could sign our future PG for a really, really cheap contract.
DD et al will work hard. I'm pretty worried about Davis though, this picture is supposedly a few weeks old:

Ed Davis, what were you thinking? Wow, that tattoo looks like a nasty nasty piece of crap and now you are stuck with it the rest of your f'n life. Wow that's ugly. Its pretty freaky when being a rebel now-a-days means not having a tattoo.
Anyway, maybe 1 positive about the lockout could be that tickets might be cheaper next season if this season is scrapped.Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
