Just to keep reminding myself as I take a deep breath:

- 2 is the goal, guarantees a top 6 pick
- 3 is good, gives us the best possible odds at Flagg/Harper
- 4 is disappointing, but is better than I predicted at the start of the year

There is a very low chance currently at 1 or 5.

Breathes out...

Getting anything later than 6 would be pretty devastating. Falling in love with Wolf is probably somewhat of a product of trying to figure out where I would turn in case we fell below 6.

Traore has a chance to get himself back in to worthy of a top 7 selection discussion, but yeah as it currently stands there is a huge drop off for me after 6.
 
I think we may need to get Will even more on board to pull out some of these losses. Like we need a Cody Williams as primary creator type narrative where we decide he needs experience running the show. Its dumb but might pass the smell test for 5-6 games.

I will also say Oscar needs to stay the hell out of these Mickey Mouse March games. That kind of effort will get us in trouble during March. FOH to all the super tryhards.

Kind reminder that he almost ruined the Raptors championship run before it started by trying to trade Lowry to the Knicks. When so much luck is involved in winning a title, it's often the luckiest (not the best) who win it all.

Just his oscillating back and forth with rebuild/acquisition and holding on 1-1.5 seasons too long on guys he should clearly trade. FVV bounces for what?

Just a weird construction right now... and watch him luck out and land a top pick that makes him a genius again. He has so much equity there that the ownership group would spend a ton and allow him to rebuild or whatever he wanted... and he really has had just the most mid results. That kind of autonomy is hard to find for GMs and he has done anything impressive with it.

I think Oscar is uniquely capable of guarding a guy like Zion. He was absolutely lost on a lot of the PNR coverage.

Appropriately stated in the tank thread, since gaining the ultimate spoils of tanking, imo, involves even more (or at least as much) luck than the luck involved in winning a championship.
