And I feel like there is much more of a chance that Masai could make a great trade for futures then actually getting a piece that would make the raptors legit contenders, it's a shame Mitchell didn't go into the draft 2 drafts ago because he is that type of player but the raptors never get that sort of luck. That Knicks pick was the raps best bet at getting another star and they drafted a low upside player with limited offensive ability. Wasn't a great draft but just shows that the raptors don't get the luck that the warriors, spurs, or others have gotten. Raptors future will mirror the Hawks, a team that was good but no elite players, a full scale tear down is going to happen and there is no point in waiting. Not one player on this team is worth being tied to.

the team is structured for a tear down after this season when you can trade Lowry and Ibaka's expiring contracts to teams that can use the cap space to go after stars (Since non are coming to Toronto as FA's)
