Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

It's interesting to watch how smugly they congratulate themselves for tanking for Scottie when in reality, they were 7th and required quite a bit of luck to even get him (Orlando, OKC both preferred Scottie).

It's just an interesting thing to note.

How many times have the Raptors traded away firsts only to be SUPER high on a player they're unable to get. Shai. Giannis. Allegedly the Raptors wanted both of them in the draft but didn't have a pick in the draft to use to move up.

It's remarkable then that after all of that pain, they went and traded 4 picks for Thaddeus Young and Jakob Poeltl.

Like come on man. Learn. This is 2023 repeating itself in so many ways and this team better stop getting seduced by Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynyk progressions.

Again, I'd feel very differently right now about the winning if it was IQ/Gradey/Scottie/RJ turning a page. But this is coming largely because;

✅ Chris Boucher
✅ Bruce Brown
✅ Kelly Olynyk
✅ Playing depleted teams (ORL, NOP, ATL).
✅ Out working everyone
✅ Scottie's modest progression defensively

I'm not pro-tank or anti-tank. I am pro-Raptors. And the pro-Raptors move is probably to ride or die with the pieces who are actually going to be here in 2-3 years. Not 28 and 32 year old unrestricted free agents who are about to reduce your pick value by 75% while boosting their next contract value by 250%.

I just want the Raptors to learn from their mistakes. This team is winning and I'm proud of that. It's how they're winning and what they're aiming at that's slightly confusing.

NBA inviting that many players to the green room in an unpredictable after splitting it into 2 days was ridiculous

[Ryan Hammer🔨 @ryanhammer09]

I can't say enough how dumb it is to have 24 green room attendees at the draft - ESPECIALLY because its now a 2 day draft.

So its likely someone & their family will wait all night in person to get their name called & have to wait until the next day.

@_utilitysports Oh I know your definitely not. I’m a big fan of the channel. You speak very highly of him.

I also have more faith in Holmes as a shooter. However think ware’s size and length will allow him to be much closer to turner as a rim deterrent/ shot blocker.
