If Toronto goes perfect 16-0 they'd have a better chance.. but i don't see that happening.. I think Toronto has too many losses as it is to make the playoffs.
there is slight chance still but why do you want to do that? it's better to miss the playoffs and draft more rookies i don't think the rookie draft will be that deep this year therefore higher draft the better

I mean, getting into the playoffs can help the decrease in attendance. But, I mean...you do have a good point or we could trade those pics to get someone in the market.
Would you guys as Raptors fans, knowing that we most likely won't be making the playoffs, prefer to finish with a higher record and lower chance at a high pick or prefer to finish lower with a higher chance at a high draft pick?

But, that's my take on it. I really hated how the Cavs played to lose just to get Lebron 3 years ago. I mean, sure, it was a smart move...but I don't think the Raps should get desperate over a few draft places, especially with such a weak draft class.
I think a more realistic goal is to pass, or at least match, last year's win total. I'm against tanking the season this year, since we're trying to convince Bosh that its worth staying.
If Greg Oden was in this years Draft my Raptors starting line-up for the rest of the year would look like this: 5 Loren Woods 4 Hoffa 3 Paul Shirley (signed to a 10 day contract) 2 D. Martin 1. Alvin Williams (injury or no injury) But since there is no Oden in this years draft, I hope the Raptors finish the year strong because i think it will make Toronto a more desirable place for F.A + I assume a winning atmosphere would make it easier to resign Bosh long term.
