I tend to believe him. Also I like a little sentimentality. Full career Raptor, part of the Championship.

He said the same "finally figuring it out" in 2021/2022 as well. That too was his FA year.

I feel that is is going to be bought out so he can join a contender if his choice (maybe back channel said we can’t trade for you but will sign you for the minimum once bought out)

He may have said it then, but he is actually playing better now.

I'd rather they pay him to sit on the bench than let the Lakers get him for free.

He's old, he is inconsistent, and realistically has had like 2 good seasons since being a raptor. Let it go.

This. Lakers will already have a long line of ring chasers headed their way after Buyouts... Ben Simmons? ...

We aren't bringing him back and many teams aren't going to pay for him. He'll get some minimum deals and then fizzle out of the league. I rather play Mogbo and have him chuck threes than see Boucher's slingshot ever again.

My take on CB. We need team and him to be clear on role. He should be 5th big that can play PF and C. We need 2 players ahead of him on depth chart at PF and C. That means if all bigs healthy he DNPs. If one is out for any reason CB gets to do his thing. Also if there is back to back and the team is low energy bring in CB spark plug. If we have the space $5 mil per would be great. If not offer vet Min. If other teams want to sign him for more we can wish him well.

I would like to give J Mo a lot of backup PF mins the next 30 games. He either can fill that role next year or we have to add someone.
I have seen enough of Orlando to say he is only a 3rd C on any team not tanking. I would 2 way him for now since we are not trying for playoffs and J Battle could be promoted.
