Good depth signing.

Now trade Barnes/Boucher/Thad/OPJ for Dame

If you are going to miss 3's, might as well have lots of tall guys to get the rebounds.

Is one of Boucher or Precious gone? I just don't understand even if it's good value/gamble on a young player.

Like how do you convince him to sign and promise playing time for him?

Those guys are better than Jalen, though.

I remember a few drafts ago one poster going ballastic about drafting Jaden McDaniels. I was sort of against it because Jaden thought he was TMac in college and he was not a very efficient player. He has since become a great defender.

I also got confused him with Jalen McDaniels and his weird history with sexual misconduct allegations in college that harmed his rep.

Nothing came of the allegation but it always sticks to me when thinking about Jalen McDaniels. He is the guy who liked to film women who were intimate with him without their consent.

I believe we were at the deadline.

He's 25 and lol 6'9. But it's not a bad flyer for a bench SF. Still we're loaded at the forward spot with little guard depth again this year. There has to be a trade coming to clear the logjam.

Who do you see being traded? I'm assuming a smaller trade will happen (hopefully with none of our picks involved) and then he will wait and see as the season unfolds to deal Siakam/OG.

Boucher and Thad for sure. If we do a big trade Siakam.

Love this signing if this a replacement for Boucher. If this isn't a replacement for Boucher, makes no sense.

Boucher should be kicked off the team for the "culture change" alone. He was a selfish chucker who never seems invovled with his teammates. Please trade him for anything

Bouchers contact is totally fine.

If we could get Monte Morris from the Wizards for Boucher, I'd be happy with the offseason. Need more guard depth/shooting.

Yeah Boucher has been productive in his minutes as an energizer off the bench. Thad though....he needs to think about retirement.

We need talent. I don't care if they can shoot or not. This is a pretty good signing. To be fair, both signings have been pretty good given the amount of money they spent. At the very least, we will have more depth next year.

there has to be a trade

Lol nope

His selfish play is not though and his chucking indiscriminately won't jive with the new system coming.

My hope is that with this move the Raps see the surplus of forwards and trade oldheads OPJ and Thad into Tyus Jones next. If we have to attach a heavily protected 1st sobeit.

An easy save of 7, really should waive him.

I like Jalen, but something else seems a brewing. The team now has 14 players not including Gradey, Banton, Downtin or Harper Jr.
