Okay but he wasn't good either; easily replaceable.
I hope this means there's another move coming up in the next week.

Looks like we're not signing anyone till 15? Or this could mean Boucher contract to be converted?

I never really liked how he played but, he was serviceable as a 4th string PG.

Does this mean that he's off the 905 as well?

Wonder what PGs will be available in buyout market. I assume Raptors will look at that.

Dying for PG help when KL is out and Lorenzo can’t play. Saves money too, easy choice.

Really demonstrates the gap between G-League and NBA, eh? I don’t think it’ll ever be a top league with no $ and 30 teams. Talent will always be thin.

I'm good with the Raptors replacing him with a player from the buyout market. There's always going to be ring chasers available, and the Raps can at least prevent a player from joining a rival.

his g league rights are held by another team, but 905 can trade for it, but they have llyod at that spot there.

Especially if Wright is dealt with OG for something.

I wish Goran Dragic was healthy, that would be an intriguing fit for our window.

This also hopefully signals that there are no current Kyle injury concerns outside of general maintenance.

Wizards waived Ron Baker today who was the other guard with FVV at Wichita State. But I can't stand his haircut.

Jeremy Lin could be interesting and cheap... maybe even D-Rose.
