আমি admit - when I first saw the Draftroom prediction, I nearly dropped my coffee. A nine-and-ten pick swap between the Raptors and Rockets? With Greene, Fiers, Eisenberg, and even Carter-Bryant involved? My brain did a full backflip. But here’s what got me hooked: it actually makes sense—if you’re willing to think like a GM with street smarts and an appetite for chaos.

Why This Makes (Mad) Sense

Let’s cut through the noise. The Raptors are stuck in perpetual rebuild limbo—good young talent, but no real cap flexibility. Meanwhile, the Rockets are trying to build around two high-upside wings while clearing space for future moves. So why not turn their #10 into a bargaining chip?

Enter Draftroom’s theory: send Greene (a proven role player) to Houston as part of a package that includes Fiers (the sharpshooting wing from Duke), Eisenberg (a defensive-minded big), and even Carter-Bryant, whose name whispers ‘potential’ louder than any highlight reel.

The Domino Effect

Now here’s where it gets spicy: what if Toronto uses this move not just to grab talent—but to reset their entire draft strategy?

With that new #10 pick, they could target someone like Shaq Thompson Jr., or even trade up for a true point guard if they believe in the fit. Meanwhile, Houston gets depth at SG/SF while avoiding another bloated roster tax.

And yes—this assumes they’re willing to eat some garbage contracts from Phoenix or Miami… but let’s be real: every team does that during rebuilds.

Is This Realistic? Maybe Not… But It Matters Anyway

Look—I know this sounds like something we’d see on The Ringer podcast after three espressos. But here’s the kicker: these kinds of speculative trades reveal how teams really think during drafts.

It’s not about picking players—it’s about creating pathways. And right now, both teams need one.

For fans of under-the-radar strategy—and those who love seeing systems break down—the idea of trading for #9 AND #10 via backdoor deals is more than just fun math; it’s social proof that smart front offices are already planning five years ahead.

So next time you hear “the draft is unpredictable,” remember: sometimes unpredictability is just well-disguised calculation.
