We’re over the cap now and won’t have any cap space for the next 2-3 years, it would have been nice to sign some free talent.

I’m not that high on Precious as some, players like him are a dime a dozen. Hopefully I’m wrong though
Unfortunately, i think your right
His type of tools (give or take) can be found in the second round

Cuz he's going to get squeezed out methinks. Dekker is a solid shooter and will be needed on that 2nd unit. With Achiuwa, Boucher's play is less needed.

lol Much better? No. Likely same production. Boucher was just puttin up stats in losses and no where near the shooter of Dekker. He will get squeezed bc of Achiuwa.

I don’t think you realize how bad Dekker is. He’s a career 28% shooter from 3 and 60% FT in his 4 years in the NBA. How is he better than Boucher at shooting?

Re: 2021 Free Agency News & Discussion Part 2
How much money to be have left now? Just Min? Is there any of the MLE left to use?
I was really hoping to target 1 more player, which was Josh Hart

It more has to do with Achiuwa coming in. I dont believe Boucher is a 4 and dont believe he's oging to work next to Achiuwa and I disagree that he's a better shooter than Dekker at this stage since he's much improved aside from inter. line. He put up empty stats and lost games... you are majorly over-rating him.

Dekker had one good shooting season in Europe and he's a career 28% in the NBA. We need to see if his most recent season is actual improvement or not.
End of the day I doubt he makes it past training camp.

I’m not overrating Boucher cause I’m actually not high on him at all. He is definitely better than Dekker though. How can you say he’s a better shooter than Boucher? Based on what? The stats from the 3 point line and FTs suggest otherwise
And yes, Boucher put up stats in losses but Dekker couldn’t even do that on a bad team

In today's NBA guys like Precious are being drafted earlier. It's also a very good sign that a team like the Heat drafted him and that the Raptors were interested enough in him to trade for him. The Heat and Raptors are arguably the two best drafting teams in the league. At least over the past few years.

I'm optimistic about Precious and think he's the type of player that will buy in and perform well.

We'll see. I dont see a place for Boucher in rotation with Achiuwa now in the fold.

I don’t see how Precious comes into the fold when it’s a discussion of Boucher vs Dekker
How does the addition of Precious make Boucher less useful but somehow Dekker more useful?

Will come down to fit. Achiuwa will take a lot of what Boucher was supposed to bring. And Dekker i believe will be a better fit. Thats my opinion. Not a fan of Boucher

Bruh if you believe Dekker is getting minutes over Boucher. I got a bridge to sell you.

Lmao! this shouldnt even be a question...
Boucher would destroy that league like he did with the G-League team
Webster just mentioned him...you think he would ever think to include Dekker in that conversation lol
