Celtics LINKED to Chris Boucher – Warriors Kuminga TRADE Update | Toronto Raptors News

Messiah jury reshaping the roster ahead of this year’s trade deadline we have a couple of updates about other things that could potentially happen regarding this Toronto Raptor Squad as the Celtics have reportedly been linked to Chris bue and hoping in landing another big and bolstering their big man depth and we

Have an update on Jonathan kaminga who’s a guy that has expressed frustration with the Golden State Warriors and has long been a target for the Toronto Raptors so lots of stuff to dive into in this video before we dive into that folks over 56% of our viewers are not

Subscribed to the channel so mean the world to me if you guys could hit that subscribe button as we’re going to continue to deliver all of the latest Toronto Raptors news but let’s dive in the first topic of discussion the first thing we’re taking a look at is Chris

Bue linked to the Boston Celtics now obviously Chris buet this season has had somewhat of a Down year definitely just looking directly at the numbers I mean this season bue only averaging six points per game four rebounds you know 46% from the field 34% from the three-point line which is actually above

His career average free throws are down a bit but he has been playing remarkably inconsistent minutes and it’s something that’s brought been brought up on the broadcast uh consistently over the past couple weeks and you know the last game against the Sacramento Kings bue has really broken out for this team getting

Back to the mold and hopefully asserting himself back into you know established rotation player obviously with precious gone and OG and Obi gone precious minutes were definitely dwindling at the end of his Raptor’s career but OG gone especially there is a lot more need for front Court players players that can

Defend in the front line for the Toronto Raptors and everything like that so bu is probably going to be more valuable to this team in the second half of this year under Darko system than he did at the first little bit of this season but that doesn’t stop other teams from being

Interest in acquiring his Services as Jake fiser came out and reported that the Celtics have been looking for some front Court help and Chris bue is someone that they’ve always liked for a while now Chris Buche especially you know a couple seasons ago it was was sort of a meme whenever he played

Against the Sixers against the Celtics he would just go absolutely nuclear he would really pop off against the division Rivals against those division teams so we get why those organizations might be interested in acquiring a Chris buet services but frankly looking at the Celtics roster looking at what they give

Up unless it’s a fleece as well because again I’m not trying to help the Boston Celtics in any which way let rather let Chris bue Walk For Nothing than getting some minuscule assets back and building up division rival specifically the Boston Celtics so I uh I don’t want to

See a deal happen look at the the Celtics roster I mean obviously we’re not getting Drew holiday Chris stops Jason Tatum or Jaylen brown or Derek white in a potential Chris Buche trade I mean Al Horford right now is pretty old doesn’t really fit our timeline that

Much and bue even though he hasn’t had the greatest of Seasons I don’t uh I just don’t think it makes sense for Al Horford to come back in a Toronto Raptors deal because you know he’s got those two years left on his contract he’s dwindling a little bit and he’s

Just a Celtics guy as well so I don’t imagine he’d be any in any trade from the Boston Celtics either for Chris buet specifically maybe some other player across the league but then we get into the realistic guys and you know Payton Pritchard has a big contract he just

Signed this off season and he is not really lived up to expectations and the Raptors now after the Emanuel quickly trade still with Dennis shudder in the lineup have are currently loaded the point guard depth maybe you could say Hey whenever pron pitchard plays in Toronto he just goes banana shooting

Threes so maybe that would carry you over with the Raptors and then you know really pop off for the squad so I won’t argue with you there but I’m not that interested in Pritchard given how our roster shaking up and then you have the other guys you know OA brassette who’s a

Guy that left Toronto luk cornette who has been solid but I mean he’s not an upgrade over Chris bue Delano Banton probably not bringing him back Lamar Stevens is a guy that I’ve had interest in over his career but hasn’t really blossomed out but Sam Hower would

Provide shooting I don’t think he’d be in a potential deal and then Jordan Walsh is a young young rookie with a lot of upside so what would the Boston Celtics really be giving us if a deal were to happen I get it that Chris bue has sort of been underutilized for the

Toronto Raptors and everything like that but we’re not dealing to the Boston Celtics so we can break out and have those crazy games against Toronto rather than those uh other interdivisional Rivals so you know personally I don’t want to see a crispy shade happen I don’t know how it would really go down

Maybe if there was picks involved and then salary filler then that would be cool but if m j get multiple first for Chris buet at this point might be good but again we need front Court depth ourselves here in Toronto so it’s uh unless you’re completely reshaping the

Roster which doesn’t seem like it’s off the table where cakam trades are happening and we’ll dive into that in the second half of this video but unless you know the roster is completely reshaped just dealing with Chris buet for not a lot of draft capital or just

Not great pieces back doesn’t make any sense the Toronto Raptor so we’ll see if that actually comes to fruition or if anything really comes of that sort of report next thing we’re taking a look at is the Warriors reluctant to trade Jonathan kaminga now it was uh widely

Known it kind of went popped off amongst NBA spares how Jonathan kaminga is frustrated with his role on the Golden State Warriors is frustrated with sort of a you know the his ability to reach his potential in Golden State underhead coach Steve Kerr made it known came out

Through Shams but basically the Warriors are unmoved he has uh Michael Grange came out with some reports breaking down the situation so talking about how he’s Linked In the Toronto Raptors fans have been interested in kaminga we’ve had reports specifically regarding past packages with ogan and Obi about kaminga

In even dating further back Pascal during that 2021 NBA draft so you know the Raptors have long been linked we’ve all been looking at the sort of reports and stuff but this is what Grange came out and said saying that except except the dots don’t always connect even

Though Toronto Raptors fans like other several teams as the trade deadline rounds into view will be paying close attention to determine all the recent tumult uh with the the Warriors will move up their timeline still according to multiple sources the Warriors loathe to trade kaminga who is seen as a

Potential star and who could help them win now and in the future the rare piece on the roster who can help the Golden State Warriors support Steph Curry in the present and transition to a successful post Curry future should it ever come so the headline from this

Article it’s really been going around as a Warriors view him as a star player theyd be reluctant to give him up in cakam trade discussions and personally I mean there’s no world where they get cakam if they don’t give up Jonathan kaminga so we can just write that off

The table write that off the wall as the Warriors a potential destination if they’re not only will not willing to give up Jonathan kaminga again this is likely a leverage play leaking it to Grange to sort of you know do some posturing in the media do these types of

Things but there’s no world where Trey goes where Chris uh Pascal saken goes to Golden State where Jonathan kaminga is not involved it’s off the table it’s let him walk for nothing nothing maybe that’s an exaggeration people don’t like that sort of idea but the the Warriors

If they want Pascal seak they’re going to have to give multiple young pieces have to give up some picks and you know Chris Paul’s sort of expiring is in that deal as well but gr also went on to say that and it’s also not a significant insignificant detail a kaminga is said

To have a very close relationship with the warrior uh Warriors owner Joe lob so they have a tight sort of bond and apparently gr also goes on to say I won’t read this whole passage for btim that James wisman was to tough sell on ownership last season and you know

Things didn’t really work out there and he’s a piece that could have been really good for the Golden State Warriors if uh you know things end up shaking out the right way and it’s also worth pointing out that 24 hours after the reports that kinga’s frustration has surfaced he had

Only good things to say about his relationship with Kerr and played a season High 36 minutes in Golden State’s win over the Detroit Pistons and kerr also had some words regarding um you know kaminga comments saying that he played I don’t know how many years he played in the league but he was

Frustrated about minutes every single season so was a bit candid I feel like if there was actual turmoil between uh kaminga and CER wouldn’t be that sort of a nice and posturing in the media and stuff so again this doesn’t in my opinion completely write the Golden

State Warriors off as a potential cakam trade destination but I do think it uh should dampen some of the expectations the Raptors are going to be able to get moody kaminga pixs and lots of sort of assets from the Golden State Warriors and potential package again the Golden

State Warriors even though they have some fumbled some trades as of late just like the Toronto Raptors they aren’t a pushover organization it’s going to give up their talent for nothing so definitely keep your eyes peeled about all the stuff that could potentially go on regarding the Toronto Raptors

Subscribe to the Raptor dig just if you want to stay up to date with everything anyways I’m signing out cheers

  1. Not really wanting to send Chris out… always high energy and lots of heart. Would suck to see him leave. Pascal as well. Hate to see some of our original pieces flipped and traded. No heart!

  2. Chris is the ONLY play on this team that plays with heart and effort no matter the situation he been put in. He also took a pay cut to stay with the team, you don't trade players like that!

  3. With inconsistent playing time comes inconsistent play. When Darko started to play Porter before Boucher, it told me everything I need to know about their commitment to Boucher. Glad Boucher led the "almost" comeback against the Kings. Boucher is not a starter caliber player but at the same time I think the Raps undervalue him. Raps should free him and his 12M if they don't believe in him and are not going to use him.

  4. @Raptors Digest – Just stop with the "over 50% of you havent subbed talk" at the beginning of your videos. Ive seen other content creators do that and it gets annoying very fast that they end up losing viewers instead. Make good content, people will sub, make bad content, people wont. If they dont sub, keep making better content.

  5. 0:49 The reason he's had a down year is because of Darko. I'm sorry but coaches need to be held accountable for their bone headed rotations. There is no universe where McDaniels is a better player than Boucher. Coaches need to be called out for their stubbornness like what's happening to Darvin Ham in LA.
