Looking at the Raptors side of the deal some more, I wonder how far into tank-mode they’ll go this year. They owe the Spurs a top-6 protected pick in June. They’re only a game off the 6th worst record, which would give them about a 54% chance of losing the pick. They’re much further off the Blazers for the 5th worst record, but a good tank job could get them there with a half-season to go, dropping the odds to about 36% that they’d lose the pick.
Alternatively they could keep hovering around the play-in game, since it doesn’t hurt them too much if they miss it. But I think they’d be better served by moving whatever else they can to give them a better chance to keep their pick and reset the roster.
