    So Lowry for a joke mid lotto pick. There is no way the raptors end up worse than this year, when they picks 8th. So this is going to be a joke pick.

    Not at all. Did you miss how ridiculously hard Morey tried to trade into the top 10 two weeks ago (with Kyle as bait, along with other picks) while still unsuccessful? I think we had a pretty good idea of Kyle's value after that.

    News flash idiot, it was Lowry and the #12 for #8. Would you trade Lowry and Lamb for 1 pick, or Lowry for a lotto pick by himself?

    I guess we decided to go tank mode this season and play our young players. Hopefully we find a gem in the rough with them.

    They drafted Markieff that year, their pick is top 14 or 15 protected I'm pretty sure. I may be wrong though.

    I wonder how much 790 just paid to get the Rockets away from 610?

    I don't see how anyone could be happy with this .. Especially since the pick can vanish if toronto manages to squeak into the playoffs the next 5 years ..It's just a gamble ...maybe we end up with nothing ... Kyle was worth more than that ..Even if we held on to him and kept shopping for a better offer ..You know some guys will go down to injury once play gets under way

    Why didn't Morey just trade Lowry and 18 for 8?? Did Toronto really want Ross that badly??...because that trade would have been great value for them. And for the Rockets I would feel much better about trading Lowry for a high potential big like Drummond than this pick that will most likely be late lotto. :(

    am I the only one looking forward to an exciting season

    we finally have a plan. TANK and move on.

    Yes, this could have been done a season ago and we might have been in a much better position, but even now is better than if we drag this out for a year or more.
