Boucher TRADE Incoming? – Celtics Previously LINKED to Raptors Big Man | Toronto Raptors News
A recent report has revealed that the Toronto Raptors are likely to deal away Chris bue ahead of this year’s trade deadline so we’re going to break down potential team that he could end up whether or not it makes sense for this Toronto Raptors group and just how our
Entire rosters going to look in a couple weeks after a couple Blockbuster trades have already gone down from the team so lots of stuff to dive into without further Ado let’s jump straight into it as basically uh Blake Murphy came out and said that Chris buet is going to
Have a new home at some point I can tell you in Fair L certain terms and that’s being explored and will probably happen by the February 8th trade deadline and you know just sort of an emotional aspect all the members being gone from that Championship winning team it just
Sucks to see in Chris bue being a Canadian being a guy that obviously had a couple of years with golden state but was really developed and blossomed on this Toronto Raptors group it sucks to see and I’m saying it out here on the jump I’d personally rather just keep
Chris buet at least for right now for the rest of the season given how unbalanced our sort of roster has been now now he’s struggled this year he hasn’t been given a lot of minutes under dark rayak which at least consistent minutes even despite the fact we don’t
Have a deep front court now after the ogn anobi and Pascal cakam deals but I just hate seeing Chris buo because he’s a valuable piece and frankly I think his trade value can be increased if we keep him you know for the rest of this season
If we keep him sort of under roster and give him more opportunities with our depleted front court whether we’re tanking whether we’re winning I think just having Chris pet dealing him right now we might not be able to get a ton of value back where as we might be able to
In the summer if we do plan on moving off of Chris buet cuz you look at the stats you know everything going on with Chris buet here now at this point right six points per game four rebounds you 33% from the three-point line that’s sort of been his average in recent
Seasons he’s 31 years old so not a young guy by any means at this point you know not a young Prospect even though he sort of developed late was uh not a rookie when he came to the Toronto Raptors or into the league but you know it’s sort
Of entering still in the prime of his career not old or washed at this point but has been a guy that has struggled at points this year has had some good games but just hasn’t been giving a lot of run but basically where could Chris bue go
What could the Toronto Raptors get back from him if a deal were to go down well basically news has come out the Toronto Raptor Center Chris bue has reportedly been on Boston’s radar for some time according to Jake fiser the Raptors could shake things up the deadline to as
They’ve already trade away forward ogan noi this report came out a couple weeks ago ahead of the pas yakum deal but the Celtics would definitely like to find a couple of their guys Chris buet for example is someone that the Celtics have always liked now someone that’s watched
You know pretty well every Raptor game of the past few years Chris Buche seems to always have it out for the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers his turns his game up to another level the same way you know a guy on the Celtics like Payton Pritcher just always turns his
Game up to another notch when he plays the Raptors Chris bche seems to elevate his game 247 against the Celtics and the Sixers so talking to their fans talking to you know some people that cover those teams they look at Chris buet as a potential steal out there on the open
Market for those types of groups maybe the front offices of those teams also sort of visualize that as well obviously they’re going to be looking at the stats and other teams so maybe the Raptors will be able to get some value back from a Boston Celtics team that again has
Reportedly had interest in him from one of these couple groups but what could potentially come back because frankly again the numbers aren’t too great for Chris buet he’s an older player his uh contract right now you know terms of for the Toronto Raptors 10 million-ish per
Year for the next couple Seasons so you know the Boston Celtics what could they have to offer you’re not getting Drew you’re not getting Chris steps you’re not getting Tatum you’re not getting Brown you’re not getting darl white and you’re probably not getting Al Horford pton pritchard’s a guy that again just
Signed a longer term contract the Raptors are all about flexibility at this point and everyone’s been sort of talked about and it makes sense for the only reason to make a Cris buet sort of uh trade go down is for uh for the point of it is to add flexibility to this
Toronto Raptors team so taking a pton Pritchard while we’re already loaded at the guards at this point with Emanuel quickley with Dennis shoter here now maybe he’ll get dealt as well at this point kir Lewis Jr was also picked up in that sort of Pascal cakam deal then you
Can look at our sort of offg guards you know if you think Payton pitri could be a shooter you have Gary you have RJ Barrett you currently have Grady dick who has been playing well as of late had that nice game against the New York Knicks a really promising showing there
You have Bruce Brown who’s naturally a shooting guard but plays at different positions I mean just as roster as is constructed right now again shakeups are coming for the Toronto Raptors it feels like but it doesn’t make sense to bring in a pton Pritchard so what else could
You get from the Boston Celtics we’re not we don’t want s back I don’t think a lot of people want Toano back the mar Stevens has had some potential at times over the course of his career but not that great Luke Cornett is an interesting piece but again not super
Interested any of those dudes the two pieces that do intrigue me from the Boston Celtics are one neis kada who this season is averaging 5 and five 55% from the field uh 77% from the free throw line I mean he’s younger than Chris bue he’s an athlete he can get to
The rim he’s a rim protector he’s a a guy that Boston Celtics fans really like and you kind of look into the salary situation doesn’t even show up on basketball reference but basically you would have a neis kada kind kind of under loocks for a while and he provides
Some defense that we lost with our front Court sort of getting depleted so he’s a guy that I wouldn’t mind coming back in a potential Cris Bo bu deal including maybe some draft compensation again I’d be shocked if we’re getting a first or Chris buet but a couple seconds we get
Some front Court dep maybe a younger player that could develop into something nice or even a no shaper set who was with the Toronto Raptors formerly you know 25 years old 4.3 can space the floor plays defense was really good for the Indiana Pacers so a couple guys there again they’re probably downgrades
Over Chris buet as of right now but they’re younger you have more flexibility and you know it just kind of opens up the possibilities for this team in the future so are we getting something drastic something great for Chris probably not I mean the rest of the Ross the guy that
Would be a steal if MSI Jerry can kind of find it is Jordan Walsh or even a Sam Hower from that group but I don’t think those guys are getting dealt either but so it’s again Bush’s not n you a lot of value given his largish contract his
Lowkey performance this year so I’d say keep him on the team let him sort of Blossom let him up his trade value let him see if he can be a productive piece for thisam team in the future and that’s probably the smartest move in my opinion
But it does seem like according to Blake Murphy that he’s going to get dealt and that kind of just sucks to see and the Celtics you know regarding their draff piics as well they got a bunch of seconds so maybe we get a few seconds
For Chris bue but I don’t know I’m not getting my hopes up to another level around a Chris buet deal but after that loss to the Knicks after everything that’s sort of been going down with this team we don’t know whether or not we’re tanking whether or not we’re winning and
Frankly the only way I see this team properly tank thinking is you know I think if yaka purle comes back we’re going to win some games but the Raptors right now are pretty low in the standings right we’re currently six if we keep it to the
Bottom six and we get lucky in the draft lottery then we will be keeping our draft pick ahead of this year and then we will have close to four first or three first round picks in this year’s draft with a second next year which it will be basically a late first given the
Fact it’s the Detroit Pistons draft selection I mean trading away Chris vé the one thing it does it depletes your front even further and then we’ve seen it in games with against the Bulls right we get dominated down low against the Knicks Julius Randall absolutely had his way
Inside against the scraptor team and it really hurt you know this this group even though he didn’t get crazy amounts of buckets but he was getting boards getting shots and that created opportunities for Jaylen Brunson Divan chenzo to get some open looks I mean if
We run it without our bigs for the rest of the season we have a much better chance at keeping that draft pick for this year we have four first round picks for next season I mean it’s not a horrific cha challenge but it is a serious risk because there is that
Chance we fall out of that sort of top draft group Messi said he’s no interest in losing or play the right way but he also said let’s have patience and you know we’ll see what comes of it with the current roster group so I mean more
Moves are likely to come just did a whole video lots of stuff coming out on Bruce Brown so you can check out that vid but I don’t know folks it’s going to be a weird season for the Toronto Raptors a weird close to this year we’ll keep you locked we’ll keep you covered

I want Jordan Walsh from the Celtics.
Would love him to stay a Raptor but I think he’ll do better elsewhere.
Seriously, why is your mic volume so low recently?
Is this why Chris was absolute dog poop last night?
With Chris gone we have officially lost all members of our 2018-2019 run.
I will miss Boucher's hustle, but I won't miss his lack of basketball IQ. He still has tunnel vision at times and always bites for pump fakes. These could be the reasons why he gets inconsistent playing time.
Celtics want every Canadian player. Brissett, Banton and Now Chris. Who do they have tho ? I don’t see any way of a trade working out with Celtics. Boucher make’s too much money to match salaries unless they give up multiple players and nobody is giving up multiple players for Boucher. They only way this is possible is if there’s a 3 team trade.
So hard to watch the Raptors in their present state. I don't watch the end of games now as it feels like a waste of time. watching the poor shooting game after game, needless turnovers, errant passes, missed dunks, atrocious rebounding on both ends, no rim protection, lapses in defence where opposing teams run up 10 and 15 points, ineffective trades, no effective center. It is just a bad scene and has been for the past few years. Ujuri really is not living up to his $17 m salary. This team has slid into oblivion since the championship. Losing Kawhi, Gasol and Ibaka has to be placed in Ujuri's lap. He is the general of the team.
making our direct enemy stronger is sabotage
Except for Scottie, It seems like every player is underperforming in Darko's system.
Why haven't you done a video on the Raptors waiving Koloko? Super disappointed by that
You always want to keep everyone though
Desperate Raptor fans over hyping these players
Guys like Clax or Wood would he good pickup for the Raptors
YOU should do a "this team is scary. pt 2" lmao
Nah I would rather see Bouche get bounced. The guy's feel for the game is horrible, he cant defensive rebound for shit. He gets back door cut at least once a game and blows rotations constantly. He can't get to the hoop and his 3-point shooting is garbage. I forgot to mention he's a fart in the wind, we need guys that can't be bullied. The fact he gets minutes shows how shitty this roster is.
How much is a 1st or 2nd round pick worth dollars wise
CHRIS BEEN GETTING A BAD RIDE SINCE HE BEEN IN TORONTO PLAYING DICK OVER CHRIS WAS A SLAP IN THE FACE IF I WAS CHRIS I WOULD ALSO WANNA TRADE
FIRE THE COACH ONLY THING THE COACH IS GOOD AT IS CALLING TIME OUT
Darko only cares about players if they are under 25 or thier name is Dennis Schroeder. 😂😂
And the fire sale continues. Tank city here we are 😂😂😂
Some people want to trade Raps players like they are playing NBA2K. There will be very little roster continuity by season's end. Players will be learning the off/def systems on the fly as the Ls pile up. The Raps should have least kept Siakam after trading OG. Poeltl, Siakam, Barnes, RJ, IQ was a nice starting 5 to build a bench around. SB is sitting around watching how Masai and company treat their players after they have used them up. SB will have no qualms with forcing his way to Miami after signing his rookie extension if the losing becomes an annual event. If SB desires to be an all star and a playoff participant he can't do that in a losing environment. I hope Masai has some trade deadline magic up his sleeve or this could become Detroit North quickly.
Celtics gonna have to give up a first for him since it’s very late pick. Raptors need draft SF and C at draft. To SF and one Center or two Centers if we can get one more first.
embrace the rebuild
Move Boucher, Shroeder, GTJ, Brown, Young, Otto please.
