I will say I won't miss the 3s with >16 on the shot clock. But the chaos that he provided was much needed.

This is a steal. Boucher is underrated as hell
I remember one year he was a top 50 fantasy basketball player

Clearly defense is the difference between winning and losing for this team.

Lots of times great, other times frustrating. But often you knew what Boucher you were getting 2 mins in.

Watch the recognition he will get now being in a big US market. "I never knew he was this good".

Salute to Slim Duck, hardworker, good energy bench, going to miss him, he really developed himself his career in Toronto. Coming from very humble beginnings to being an NBA vet, what a story.

That is a fantastic deal for Boston.

I wish Boucher all the best. He would take ill-advised three's regularly, but I never questioned his effort.

Yes, he ruined our tank last year. He won us like 4 games in the 4th quarter. Got hot. Surprised no contender signed him..he could be that sneaky good signing for a contender. Maybe a deadlinectrade after getting his value up. Enjoyed him as a raptor

Can’t believe we didn’t get anything for him even a 2nd round pick.

This is year 9 for Boucher, NBA pension is 10yrs if I am not mistaken. Playing 10yrs in the league after starting at 25 is amazing, + he won a ring
Spotrac has him 8yrs 50mill - lengedry career
Hopefully he plays well to get one more gig somewhere

Replacing him with CMB makes us better if we're honest about it. Boucher was never that good at his market reflected that.
